IT'S TIME TO FIND FULFILLMENT

Melina works with leaders and go-getters who want to use their success to leave a legacy of positive change.

That includes you.

Melina works with dedicated, thoughtful people who want to leave a legacy of positive change and success by challenging her clients to be in service of others while putting themselves first.

Become The Leader You know you can be

While most coaches tend to work from a static set of programs, Melina takes the time to learn each of her clients’ personal traits and builds off of them, customizing services to effect positive changes in defined areas of need.

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.

PERSONAL BRANDING

Command attention and respect in every situation.

You are counselled on how to be seen as an expert in your field and invite others to do business with you at first glance.

Maybe you’re born with it …

Maybe you need Melina

Become a great LEADER

It all starts with understanding your WHY, your purpose. Once we identify and understand your driving force, we’ll work together to build a solid foundation and mindset for success, focusing on communication, emotional intelligence, and collaboration.

Together, we work on the steps you and your team need to be successful – your vision, goals and strategy. We create cohesive messaging that creates buy-in and impact with your clients, team and Board. Working as a team, we shift and expand your view so that you can truly see the whole picture; allowing for clarity of focus. That leads directly into making changes to your mindset and language choices that have the most impact on those immediately around you.

Don’t let stagnation and dissatisfaction hold you back any longer. With my guidance, you’ll gain the confidence and skills needed to achieve your goals. Whether you’re a Fortune 500 executive or a startup founder, I’m here to help you make a lasting impact as a change-maker.

Invest in yourself and take the first step towards building a legacy of positive change. We’ll work together to unlock your full potential and create the fulfilling life you deserve.

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
Leasing Director, JLL

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
Chief Risk Officer, OMERS

Working with Melina was a delight. I love how she genuinely listens to your ideas and comes with just the right words and ways to present them. Melina knows exactly where and how to help her clients. 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
Manager (Major Incident), OMERS

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.
