Become The Leader You know you can be

MASTERY OF LANGUAGE
Let’s talk and learn about communication.
Including elocution (the skill of clear and expressive speech, distinct pronunciation, articulation and personal speaking style), tone, volume, use of dramatic pauses, humour and humility.

HANDLING QUESTIONS LIKE A BOSS
Clients learn to put themselves in the place of the asker, to use their own curiosity to understand the intent of others.
We work to overcome unhelpful response habits to tough questions, such as defensiveness and deflection, to win audience trust and respect.

READING THE ROOM RIGHT
As the world becomes more and more complex, the ability to navigate emotions effectively is more important than ever.
That’s where Melina comes in. With Melina, you’ll be better equipped to handle whatever life throws your way.

I truly enjoyed working with Melina. She has the right mix of charisma, directness and experience to have a meaningful impact. She helped cut through so much of the noise and peripheral info to get me to really focused on what mattered and where my message could land with others. She makes you work hard but it’s always lots of fun! Thank you Melina - hope to work with you again soon!

Julie Robbins
Melina has really helped to develop my presentation skills, beyond what I thought I was capable of. I remember my goals were to engage the audience more, use stories, analogies and humour however I felt this was a distant and probably unachievable goal. Melina provided very helpful coaching and enabled me to accomplish everything I had set out to. I know I could not have done it without Melina’s coaching!

Laurence Duhamel
Melina never disappoints! She challenges in a fun but direct way to make sure you are thinking through the situation at hand - so that you can be your absolute best. What I love most about working with her is the enthusiasm she always shows, and you know, it’s infectious. She has made me think carefully about what and why I want to communicate and has definitely made an impact.

Rodney Hill

She actually takes the time to understand their strength and weaknesses and works with what she has to achieve great results. Thank you Melina you have taught me skills and lessons that have helped me better my communication and presentation skills.

Kinza Jabeen
Melina worked with me on preparing for a professional speaking engagement. She laid down a plan. She was direct and had a strategy to move the work forward. Her insights and coaching were right on the money. I walked into that talk with confidence. I had a story to tell and it was framed perfectly for the audience. I can't thank Melina enough for simply being OUTSTANDING.

Sheryl Stotland
Melina balances candid feedback with kindness. Public speaking is a very vulnerable and scary experience for many but Melina does an excellent job create a safe learning environment. I appreciated the personalized feedback and the opportunity to practice my communication skills in a low stakes environment.
