Client Testimonials
“Coaching has had a tremendous impact on me. It has strengthened my ability to lead with confidence, communicate more effectively, and navigate challenges with greater resilience. Melissa truly listens and offers thoughtful guidance. It has been incredibly valuable. I’ve grown not only in my professional role, but in how I approach each day.”
— AMY, PAST CLIENT
“Melissa is an amazing coach. Her deep listening skills paired with her ability to ask just the right questions are a powerful duo! I highly recommend her. I worked with Melissa on my work plans for a phased, early retirement. Her questions helped me to identify some limiting beliefs and outdated thoughts I had which allowed me to prioritize my values and goals for this next phase of life in a new creative way. I feel energized to continue to move forward with a great plan that I created out of these coaching conversations. ”
— KERRY, PAST CLIENT
“I am truly blown away by how much I gained from coaching. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much - but, wow, was I surprised! I learned so much about myself, both professionally and personally. I often find myself going back to the insights I gained to help me navigate complex or challenging situations and continue improving.
One of the most valuable aspects was being able to talk through issues out loud. Melissa has an incredible ability to ask just the right questions- ones that helped me get to the root of the problem and uncover clarity and solutions I hadn’t seen before. The experience was eye-opening and incredibly empowering.”
