“Melissa was there for me during a series of unprecedented times of grief in my professional life. In those instances, I needed to step up and lead a team through the tragic losses of multiple colleagues. During this time, Melissa helped me walk the fine boundaries of grieving together but also helped me understand when I needed to draw boundaries to maintain my own sanity and mental health. I couldn’t be more grateful for her support and guidance during one of the most difficult times of my life.”

“Our team really enjoyed working with Melissa. We wanted to strengthen ourselves as individual leaders as well as become a more cohesive leadership group. Melissa was a great facilitator for tough, necessary conversations that helped us understand how each of us were approaching our work and to work smarter together. Much of what we worked on with her became the foundation for a larger team retreat and many agreed it was our most successful retreat thus far.”

“Working with Melissa was invaluable; it allowed me to approach challenges in a creative way and push myself when needed. What I loved most was that we worked as true partners—she was always rooting for me, but also gracefully held me accountable, encouraging me to stretch to reach my goals both at work and in life.”

“Melissa is a highly creative, intelligent and innovative facilitator and coach. Her passion and enthusiasm is contagious! She gently guided me through an assessment process which provided an awareness of my energy levels and how to see opportunities in place of challenges. This gave me a brand new perspective on my career (and life).”

“Melissa has a great memory and is able to connect dots between the self, the team members and the organization. She has provided my team training and coaching on conflict resolution and designed engaging, fun and informative orientations for new employees. She is a terrific sounding board, amazing listener and creative problem-solver. Melissa is extremely empathetic and understands subtle power dynamics within teams and between supervisors and employees.”

“After a series of structural changes and transitions, I needed help seeing through the change to create an actionable, core-value-aligned plan for leadership and career growth. Through my coaching with Melissa, I have learned several important things about how I work, I have developed the tools to identify and shift my energetic pattern, and I feel prepared to move thoughtfully and confidently towards realizing my authentic leadership style.”

“I came to Melissa during a crossroads in my career and life, I was burnt out, working 12+ hour days, not prioritizing my health or relationships, and unable to see a future in which I held a successful career and had a family. I thought I needed to switch career paths and start over. Working with Melissa I discovered it was less about the title and more about the alignment of company values with my own. She helped me organize my personal goals, skill sets, and areas of passion and align them with companies that valued such in their employees. Fast forward 2+ years and I am in love with my work and daily mission set, I am challenged but maintain a rich and healthy personal life. I even have a baby which felt unimaginable in my former work.
