“I participated in the leadership development program that Melissa directed. I came into it from a unique perspective in that my position is very technical and does not have any management responsibilities. Through the program, I realized leadership is more than just a job description; I learned I can help provide direction and support to my peers, clients, and even the decision-makers leading the organization. The program gave me a new experience of looking inward at my strengths and where I had the opportunity to improve to have more of positive impact.”

Troy McDermott, Systems Engineer, Fortinet

“In addition to the leadership principles, Melissa gave insight into better ways to manage, work, and communicate with different personalities to provide for more productive outcomes. My favorite part of the program was the dedicated time spent with other leaders allowing us to learn from each other. I entered the leadership program as a seasoned manager and left the program with a more well-rounded leadership approach that I could use for a long time to come.”

Kevin Biermann, Director of Development and Internal IT, CEC

“I had been relying on my own drive, past education, and experience when I entered the leadership program, fresh out of the field and into a management role for the first time. Not only did the leadership program put me with like-minded individuals but it opened my eyes to a wider range of leadership growth opportunities that until that time I was unaware existed. I was fortunate enough to participate in two leadership programs with Melissa and each one took me a step closer to where I am today. I am nowhere done with that journey, but I would like to thank Melissa for her encouragement, insight, and friendship along the way.”

Brian Morrow, Vice President Operations, CEC

“Melissa is an excellent sales and leadership coach, well versed in leading strategic conversation and providing coaching for challenging situations. She is highly organized and works with you to understand and determine the why of the issue, project, or program as well as the desired outcome for your people, company, or clients. Melissa has been an integral part of the strategy, planning, and execution of several successful key initiatives and programs.”

Steve Riley, Director of Global Professional Services, PSNI

“Melissa helped us to identify gaps in our hiring process as well as the costs and lost revenue impacting our organization (moving towards 7 figures). The way she worked with us to implement a talent optimization solution and build hiring processes to bring in the right person for each role was outstanding. We had favorable responses from our team and this new focus allows us to improve our communications prior, during, and after the interview process. Throughout the year, Melissa serves as a support resource for our talent solutions when needed for our hiring, coaching, and understanding of the team, as well as people strategy and processes."

Matt Thorne, Executive Vice President, ECC

“Focused on our technical teams, Melissa helped us understand, organize, and build a concise engineering career path that gave our team members a road map for job expectations and me a tool to be a coach in both the individuals and the department’s future. This new program gives me the peace of mind that I can help my team define skills and improvements needed, grow in their respective careers, and build engagement while we are scaling with the needs of the business."

Dan Kiekhaefer, Vice President Engineering, Percival Scientific

"Melissa worked with my team and I through a very important transitional period for our sales team. She was fantastic at helping us develop market overviews and assisting with the development of our sales plans, strategies, presentations, and resource guides to help our newer team members develop at a quicker pace. I was also able to attend her leadership class which guided my development as the leader of my region by encouraging me to look at my own leadership style and how small improvements can make such a big difference. Melissa helped me become more proactive rather than reactive with internal and external business initiatives that maximize the ROI for our company and our customers."
