What people say about working with Melanie:
"I signed up for coaching sessions with Melanie to achieve a couple of specific goals, but what I gained from our work together turned out to be a broader and deeper shift in my thinking about what is meaningful to me and how to best spend my time. Melanie not only helped me to identify some thought patterns that were holding me back from directing my energy and time to what matters to me, but she also offered me concrete and effective exercises to counter these patterns. This was unexpected and a delight, which also describes my sessions with Melanie. She challenges me, she is direct, and she has a fun sense of humor -- all wonderful qualities for a coach."

“Extremely supportive and encouraging. An absolute gem! Thank you, Melanie. Your spirit and your generosity are unmatched!”
—Steve G.
"I have worked with Melanie as a coach for several years around both business and personal issues. During this time she has helped me articulate and achieve goals for my life and my business. Some of the things I value about Melanie's coaching is her acute perception, her insight and her honesty. She holds me accountable. She does this without imposing her values and ideas on me.
Melanie quickly perceives what is going on below the surface and names it. With Melanie's coaching I am able to see where anxiety is driving my thoughts and actions. I see where I am running a story that doesn't serve me well. I'm able to take a step back and consider how to best move forward. Once the garbage is out of the way, it's easier to see what deserves my attention and does not; what is the essence of what I want to create and what is a diversion. With Melanie's support, I have created goals and a plan to get there and then achieved those goals. I highly recommend Melanie as a coach."
—Jackie K.
"As my coach, Melanie was observant and thoughtful in her feedback. She was both direct and supportive--balancing these like a well-trained dancer. I became more focused and effective because of my work with Melanie."
—Sharon H.
“Melanie is a powerful career coach. I started working with her right after becoming a manager, and credit her no-nonsense coaching to getting me off to a great start on that career path. Each session ended with a clear list of actions to take toward a goal, as well as the sense of accomplishment for how far I'd come along the path. She was great at seeing the actions that weren't obvious to me, and coming up with thoughtful questions that helped reveal where I was blocked. I highly recommend her for anyone who is ready to make a commitment to taking on the next level with confidence.”
—Sara D.
“Melanie's style is encouraging and motivating, as well as no-nonsense and straightforward, which I greatly appreciated. She helped me see that many hang-ups or trepidations I had were more like pebbles than mountains. These benefits rippled out beyond just my work on poetry, as I started to gain confidence and address blocks. It was great to have someone to walk alongside me to help me along the path. I would highly recommend work with Melanie to anyone who is on the fence. It will be like rocket fuel for your writing and goals."
