“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

"Real Colors training got me thinking especially about our now 8th grade class. The class is full of Oranges who are ultra-competitive, and all want to lead. This, obviously, can present some challenges in the school environment. Through the lens of Real Colors, I have been able to see them for who they are, interact with them on that basis, gamify what we do, and provide them with leadership opportunities. I am definitely not an Orange, so Colors helped me to step outside of my very Green/Gold thinking to know how to meet the needs of this group of kids."

Ian Kleman, High School Principal, Independence School District

“As I transitioned into my role as President, Melissa became my right hand providing an outside and objective perspective on the challenges that I was facing. By giving me an open forum to bounce ideas, clear my thoughts, and evaluate multiple solutions, her insight for me as well as my team helped to clarify the next steps we should be taking in each situation. In addition to her coaching, she was able to bring in her expertise to drive our initiatives forward as it relates to building our customer experience, training our sales team, creating our go to market strategies, optimizing our talent, and developing our leaders; all of which have been invaluable to reaching our goals moving forward.”

Kyle Habben, Former President, ECC, Regional General Manager AVI-SPL

“Keeping people and projects in motion, Melissa is an energetic people connector and facilitator that drove change to grow our business. In addition to aligning our sales and marketing efforts, she led core business initiatives including strategic planning, leadership and talent development, employee engagement, customer programs (customer advisory board and voice of the customer), and overall process improvement. Utilizing the right people and resources, Melissa has a way of bringing parties together to accomplish common goals.”

Randy Montelius, Vice President of Technology, CEC

“Through our business strategy session and business plan development, Melissa streamlined our process to give us a clear direction, top priorities, and action items to have the departments rally around to strategically move forward. During this process, she provided insight that gave us a deeper understanding of who we are as individuals, a team, and how to leverage those strengths to make the team and company successful.”

Jake Oakland, President, Percival Scientific

"Melissa's facilitation with our admin team through the Real Colors training was impactful and engaging. Team members were opening up and connecting with others in ways that had not been experienced prior. This process has helped us move forward in a positive way and build a stronger, more communicative, more supportive team."
