Welcome

Hi, my name is Melissa.

I help you cultivate your team’s potential through leadership coaching and elevated operating systems.

You might be wondering what qualifies me to be a leadership coach? I’d ask the same thing too. My leadership journey started in high school, continued into corporate and non-profit, and finally took me to small business. Small business is my passion as the daughter and granddaughter of entrepreneurs.

• I’ve served teams of various sizes. I’ve started with employee #1 and built up from there. I’ve stepped up to serve a team of 60 customer service reps.

• I’ve taken on management roles through internal promotions and external hiring. It’s a bigger challenge to transition into managing your peers than a new team. Respect and boundaries are key.

• I’ve worked in multiple industries: property management, retail, new home construction, event planning, non-profits, and health insurance. This reinforces my belief that character, communication, relationships, and work ethic are foundational to success. Technical skills evolve with the times and can be learned.

• I believe your team’s success reflects your leadership. I’ve had former team members be promoted and/or move into management roles. I serve enthusiastically as a reference and mentor.

• I believe people are capable of great things. I have high expectations because it only takes one person to see someone’s talent, believe in them, and push.
