Melissa is an insightful and inspiring coach. She is a great listener who follows up with insightful questions. She doesn't shy away from challenging me and my assumptions, and in the process helps me clarify my needs and goals. She pushes me to create action plans and to stick to those in order to advance myself both personally and professionally. I highly recommend Melissa as a coach!

Iliana

President

Melissa was great in helping me through some tough decisions I had to make for my business. I was feeling confused with the changes I had to make and with her questions I was able to discover practical ways to think through this. She also helped me discover some things about me that I did not know and my patterns of thinking on certain things like trust. Thanks, Melissa, for the support.
