Working with Melanie was one of the best decisions I made in my MBA application journey! From the very beginning, she provided invaluable guidance, helping me form my story in a way that felt both authentic and compelling. She gives feedback in a constructive yet empathetic way, offering thoughtful, school-specific advice.

Before working with Melanie, I had no idea where to even start. With her support, I secured multiple acceptances to dream schools with scholarships. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Working with Melanie has been nothing short of life-changing. I came to her feeling overwhelmed and stuck, facing one of the most significant decisions of my life. From the very first session, she created a space that felt safe, judgment-free, and completely focused on me.

Melanie's ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and gently challenge my perspectives helped me uncover clarity and confidence I didn't know I had. She didn’t just tell me what to do—she empowered me to recognize my own values and priorities, guiding me to make a decision that aligned with who I truly am.

What stood out the most was her genuine care and commitment. She celebrated every breakthrough and was there during the tough moments, offering encouragement and practical tools to keep moving forward. I now feel equipped not just for this decision but for navigating life's challenges with a renewed sense of purpose.

If you're looking for a coach who blends empathy, insight, and actionable guidance, Melanie is the one. I’m so grateful for her support and can’t recommend her highly enough!

I don't have enough great things to say about my engagement with Melanie. Through her guidance and coaching I was able to elevate my presence from live speaking engagements to social media and more. Time and money well spent.

Melanie helped me identify aspects in my speech and communication that could be improved to be more impactful. I was not sure how effective it would be to do an executive voice coaching session over Zoom, but I have to say it met and even exceeded my expectations. From minor enunciation tweaks, to warm-up vocal exercises, to role playing various types of communication styles, Melanie's methods helped guide me on what and how to improve. She is a great coach and I'd strongly recommend working with her to develop your executive presence!
