Friends, colleagues, and clients know her as Moe — a calm, trusted presence leaders call when the moment matters.
Monique Shields is the Founder and CEO of Executive Allure, a boutique leadership and relationship-centered business focused on intentional environments, curated gatherings, leadership experiences, and thoughtful guest experiences for founders, organizations, leadership teams, and mission-driven initiatives.
Her work brings together leadership, hospitality, advocacy, wellness, and community engagement with a focus on shaping environments where connection, visibility, trust, and meaningful interaction can deepen.
With a background spanning corporate, nonprofit, philanthropic, healthcare, and advocacy spaces, Monique brings executive fluency, discernment, and a thoughtful understanding of how environments influence people, conversations, partnerships, and outcomes.
Her background includes supporting leaders and teams within organizations such as Verizon, Starbucks, CenturyLink, Nordstrom, and the Greater Tacoma Community Foundation, experiences that helped shape Executive Allure's relationship-centered approach to leadership experiences and intentional environments.
Today, Monique partners with leaders, organizations, hospitality brands, advocacy initiatives, and mission-driven teams navigating leadership retreats, stakeholder engagement, curated gatherings, philanthropic experiences, collaborations, and high-touch environments where how people gather directly impacts trust, connection, visibility, and what moves forward.
Beyond client engagements, Monique is active in women's health advocacy and serves as a mission speaker and contributor within conversations surrounding cardiovascular health, maternal health, prevention, storytelling, and community awareness, including serving as a 2024 Go Red for Women Mission Speaker with the American Heart Association.
She is especially passionate about creating intentional spaces where leadership, advocacy, wellness, storytelling, hospitality, and community connection intersect in ways that support greater awareness, engagement, collaboration, and impact.
The Heart Behind Executive Allure
Executive Allure was built from a simple belief: how people gather influences what moves forward afterward.
Through intentional leadership experiences, curated gatherings, and relationship-centered environments, Executive Allure helps create the conditions where trust, engagement, visibility, and meaningful connection can deepen.
National Honor for Excellence in Executive Leadership
2021 Pacific Northwest Admin “Spirit” Award
In 2021, during her career as an executive assistant, Monique received the nationally recognized Spirit Award from the Admin Awards — the highest honor in the administrative profession.
The award recognizes administrative leaders honored for their impact, presence, and contribution at the highest levels of leadership.
