Call me to talk about

Executive Coaching for CEOs & Senior Leaders

I work with CEOs and senior leaders navigating growth, complexity, and high-stakes decisions.

These conversations are a confidential space to think clearly, challenge assumptions, and strengthen how you lead — especially when the stakes are high and there are few places to think openly.

Common topics include decision-making, leadership presence, communication, team dynamics, and navigating change.

Optimize career for learning or responsibility?

It all depends on what is most important to you...is it work/life balance or a career that is more challenging and financially rewarding? Which company aligns best with your values and long term goals?

What do you recommend I should invest my time and knowledge into at 18, that will impact my future for the better?

The first questions you need to ask yourself are:

1- What do I truly want?
2 - What does that look like?
3 - What about this is important to you?

Once you have a clearer understanding of what you truly want, then you can work your way backwards to see where you should invest your time. You mentioned looking into business principles. When you think of business, what aspect of it excites you?

Melissa is a formidable partner in marketing and business. She's talented, passionate and full of creative ideas. She adapts quickly to everyday situation and can overcome any obstacle in business. I'm no stranger to internet business having worked in related areas for many years. Melissa has amazed me several times with her great marketing ideas and her 'go-get' attitude to persevere and make things happen.

Melissa takes "people person" to a whole new level. Her dedication to her projects has always been an inspiration. Her creativity, followthrough and leadership are incredibly motivating. Melissa regularly gives thoughtful feedback, is open to new ideas and has a natural affinity for marketing and managing.

Her most valuable quality is her positive attitude, which she brings to every new project and challenge. Having that attitude has been such an asset, as it really encourages teamwork and productivity.

Having worked with Melissa for over 2 years, I can say that she would be an asset to any company. Much of our company's growth and development can be directly attributed to the work Melissa has done. I feel truly confident in recommending her.

Melissa is a fount of information regarding Marketing and Social Media. She has generously helped me a great deal. Her depth of knowledge and ability to see the best strategy for you is razor sharp. I am so delighted to have come into her sphere. She is a bright light in every way.

Working with Melissa was absolutely inspiring! She is efficient, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. I recommend her coaching whole heartedly.

Jon Carlo Source: LinkedIn

Melissa is an inspiration! She is very good at finding out who you are, what your strengths are, and how to make sure potential clients and employers know these things about you. She gets to the root of it all, making your message much more powerful.

Working with her, I improved my materials by understanding myself better and by understanding the proper way of presenting the information I needed to get across. She gave me the confidence to 'cold call' prospective employers and, in doing so, I got a job!

Thanks, Melissa! I'm a very satisfied client!

Melissa is so easy to work with, I look forward to every coaching session with her. She has helped me with building my brand, putting together a website that really shows who I am, and with my overall business and marketing strategy. I honestly don't know where I would be without her, I certainly would not be as far along as I am. She keeps me hopping, but it has been a fun ride, and I plan on working with her for a long time. I just hope that she does not get too busy because I want to be sure she will have time for me. I have already recommended her to friends and will not hesitate to do so again.

As a career and life coach, Melissa is definitely on top of her game. Her passion for her work is immediately apparent from the first meeting you have with her. Melissa invests the time needed to understand where you are in your life and career, what your values and ambitions are, before working out a game plan you can both agree on. And with Melissa as your partner, you will have the drive, the tools and techniques, and the energy to make it happen.

I've personally benefited from her coaching in many different ways, through apparently small but important changes to my lifestyle. I'm physically more active, I'm more aware of who I am, I manage my time better, I connect better with colleagues, friends and family members, and I'm more open to new possibilities.

With her executive-level background and her insightful understanding of success in life and career, I feel she can offer help and wisdom regardless of what stage you are in your life.

Let this busy bee coach you!

Melissa will push you as far as you are willing to go outside of your comfort zone and make you realize that you are giving in to too many unimportant things that are standing between you and your goals.

Behind her smile lies a direct and hyper-organized coach that will definitely help you take control of your life and become a more driven individual.

Lazy and uncommitted people need not apply!

Since I have started my program with Melissa, I have seen amazing positive changes in the way I face life everyday. Melissa's coaching techniques, exercises and amazing energy enabled me to better know myself, my life purpose, my values and goals. I received the tools I was missing to improve my decision making process and feel much more confident knowing now that they are aligned with my life's objectives.
Melissa's successful career in marketing enables her to be fully understanding of my professional challenges. She is a fun, positive and energetic doer, gifted with the ability to help people live a better life.
