“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, General Manager AVI-SPL, former President, ECC

“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 brought our team together to establish our purpose, guiding principles, and core values while giving us an achievable strategic blueprint that we can use year over year for direction. It was great to start the second year of our plans with a streamlined process, easily see the actionable items that were accomplished, and have a focused approach moving forward.”

Tom Treharne, Senior Project Manager at NextEra Energy Resources, Marion Cares Past President

“Melissa’s time spent working with our sales and marketing group on strategic planning as well as team building has been very beneficial. She did a terrific job of leading, engaging, and mediating the group, allowing everyone to contribute their ideas. The whole team embraced her knowledge, personality, and skills to bring us to a workable plan moving forward. The team is working on our plans to keep focus for next year and Melissa is our first choice to help us.”

Joni Campidilli, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Percival Scientific

“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.”

Nick Hutton, Regional Sales Manager, ECC
