“Melissa challenged and elevated me to think more strategically. Thanks to her, I come at issues and challenges in the workplace from a different perspective now—from a higher-level, bigger-thinking perspective. I would definitely say she was instrumental in helping me land my most recent promotion.”
—Christine Sadler, CEO
LEADERSHIP COACHING
I catalyze change for a better tomorrow. I coach:
- Change makers (and wannabe change makers) who want to make a difference in the world
- Professionals looking for leadership development
- Consultants, entrepreneurs and socialpreneurs in search or growth or a sounding board
- Business owners or leaders seeking to grow their organizations
- Influencers, public figures, celebrities, artists who want to use their platforms for meaningful social change
- Self-driven employees at any level looking to make an impact
- People working for positive change or the greater social good
The ideal candidates for coaching with me see the value in it, and are not only open to change, but prepared to make a long-term commitment to it. If that’s you so far, ask yourself: What difference do you want to make? My goal is to serve as the catalyst for your transformation—to help you uncover your aspirations and give you the tools to reach your highest potential.
I can help you:
- Tap into your potential as a leader or change maker
- Gain focus and clarity—and stay focused
- Develop stronger relationships in your organization and networks
- Achieve more by doing less
- Make conscious choices to manage your time effectively
Add EQ to your leadership toolbox
I also coach executives who aspire to communicate more clearly and deepen their emotional intelligence. You can expect stronger working relationships, growth in leadership competencies and a deeper understanding of your potential.
COACHING STYLE
I am known for my direct style and for asking powerful questions to achieve clarity, learning, action and results. I will ignite your curiosity, challenge you to discover other perspectives, and push you to overcome limiting behaviours and beliefs. My clients appreciate the way I combine playfulness and emotional intelligence with purpose, motivation and results.
My areas of focus and particular skills include: influence without authority, leading through change and ambiguity, evolving from a directive/telling style to truly enabling others, and positioning people with high potential to achieve their aspirations.
