“Melanie is a grower of people and businesses! I get more out of every hour I spend with her than I get out of any other meeting in a given week. Melanie can hear a business challenge, a story about something that is happening with personnel, or an experience I had, immediately put it in context in the business/nonprofit world, and ask probing questions that help me figure out what my next steps should be.  She encourages me to lead with both heart and accountability, which is a rare skill. She has begun coaching all of our revenue leaders at DonorsChoose, as well as helping facilitate sessions with them and their teams. She is indispensable!” 

“Mel's ‘case studies’ or mini scenarios she brings into the trainings are so real and relevant - they really help us unpack how we are working together in a safer way by talking about other people in other companies. Mel is a credible outside leader who is able to help shine a light on challenges that can be harder for our own leadership team to do all the time.”

“As managers, we all tend to think we’re approachable, reasonable people that can be persuaded if an argument is sound. As a coach, I can tell you many of us are wrong about this. It’s not that we don’t listen - it’s that we don’t listen equally to everyone we manage.”

"Mel's training are always interactive, relevant, engaging, and meet our organizational objectives."
