Heart-Powered Global Nation

Entrepreneurship – Monique’s gift and passion
Already as a child, Monique Blokzyl successfully played with various creative business ideas. Passion for entrepreneurship in childhood is pretty unique in itself without mentioning that she grew up in the former communist German Democratic Republic (before the wall came down and Germany was re-united)!
Due to political and societal system circumstances, she embarked on a corporate journey after graduating from university. She pursued this career very successfully for over 15 years. Until she got, as she says, kicked in the butt by destiny twice.
A Choice from the heart
Two people very close to Monique died within a short period of time, both at the age of 46.
Monique was shaken. In her mid-thirties at the time, she asked herself what life and legacy she would want to look back on if she only had until the age of 46.
She remembered her “entrepreneurial” childhood and her joy in making a living from a business she created. This led to a big decision: Monique gave up her corporate career to pursue her passion. She strongly knew in her heart that she wanted to be an entrepreneur.
HeartPowered Business
HeartPowered Business is Monique’s most recent creation. It helps change-makers launch, grow and scale their businesses, and supports speakers in refining their message and getting it out into the world.
HeartPowered represents both her big heart and seemingly endless energy, as well as all the amazing change-makers and thought leaders she works with. She strongly believes, “If you want to impact the world, it needs to come from the inside … it needs to be passion-powered.”
