Monica Wofford, CSP, founded her training career and company on the premise that a leader does not have to be born, but can be developed. As CEO of the five division training and consulting firm, Contagious Companies, Inc, Monica has become an internationally known leadership development expert with more than 20 years of experience in leading and teaching leadership skills. Monica has personally (and enthusiastically!) spoken in all 50 US states and 19 countries and she and her firm have the privilege of working with such clients as Microsoft, SeaWorld, the FAA, Estee Lauder and many more.

The author of six books including Contagious Leadership and Make Difficult People Disappear, as well as many other learning resources and training workbooks,  Monica has been called "The best trainer ever seen!" The fun her clients experience allow the skills they learn to stick and all are based on her proven strategies, techniques, emotional intelligence application and powerful insights into effective and successful leadership. Whether in a key note speech, half day training, or completely customized curriculum package, her presentations and coursework masterfully transform managers who were promoted, but perhaps not prepared into those who are proud of their leadership skills.
