Helping individuals, organizations, and communities reduce stress, cultivate clarity, and increase well-being through the powerful practice of journaling.
I am a Registered Social Worker (MSW, RSW), Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), co-author and co-editor of multiple books and guided journals, and the Director of the International Association for Journal Writing (IAJW.org).
My work blends lived experience, professional practice, and research-informed approaches to writing for well-being, burnout prevention, personal development, and resilience.
I've had the privilege of speaking to and working with educators, healthcare professionals, coaches, therapists, community organizations, and journal writers around the world.
Lynda Monk is one of the most effective and purpose-filled leaders and facilitators that I've had the pleasure of working with. She is an expert not only in journal writing but also in wellness, community building, creative leadership and so much more.
