About Melanie
I'm a coach who believes in keeping it real—yes, that means you'll get straight talk from me, but always with empathy and often with humor. I create a space where authenticity meets accountability, partnering with you to explore possibilities and uncover insights that drive meaningful growth. I've walked the executive path and know its challenges, but I also know that success looks different for everyone. What drives me is helping people discover and embrace their authentic leadership voice. I'm deeply committed to centering the human experience in business because I've seen firsthand how powerful it can be when leaders bring their whole selves to work and create space for others to do the same. Whether you're navigating tough decisions, building more inclusive teams, or seeking deeper alignment between your values and your leadership style, I'm here as your thought partner and champion—all while helping you define and achieve success on your own terms.
