1:1 leadership coaching
01
Working directly with Melissa means you get a dedicated thinking partner who knows your specific situation, your blind spots, and exactly what's standing between you and the leader you're capable of being.
Every session is built around what's actually happening in your leadership right now. Between sessions, accountability check-ins make sure you're implementing what you committed to, not just nodding along and forgetting by Monday. Your personalised behaviour plan is built around you, not a generic template, and it evolves as you do.
Direct, honest, and delivered with genuine care, because the leaders who grow fastest are the ones who finally have someone in their corner who won't let them off the hook.
This kind of coaching is for leaders who are done with feeling like they're figuring it out alone. The ones who know something needs to change but haven't had the right support to make it stick. Whether you're a first-time leader finding your feet, an experienced manager with habits you're ready to break, or someone who's been quietly carrying the weight of a team that isn't quite firing, this is where that changes. Not through more theory.
Through honest conversations, real accountability, and someone who genuinely cares about the leader you become.

podcast guest
Melissa is available as a guest on leadership, business, and women in the workplace podcasts. She brings the same energy to every conversation that she brings to her coaching, honest, direct, and completely free of the corporate polish that makes most leadership content forgettable.
No rehearsed talking points. No vague frameworks that sound impressive but mean nothing on a Monday morning. Just real conversations about what it takes to lead people well, told through the lens of lived experience in real workplaces.
Melissa speaks from a place of lived experience and as a leader who has been in the trenches, made the mistakes, and developed a practical approach to behaviour change that gets results.
She has a natural ability to make complex leadership concepts accessible and immediately actionable, which is why her audiences don't just feel inspired, they leave knowing exactly what to do differently.
If your audience includes first-time or newly promoted leaders, navigating the workplace, managers trying to build better teams, or anyone who has ever worked for a terrible leader and vowed not to become one, Melissa will give them something worth remembering.
keynote speaking
03
Melissa speaks at conferences, offsites, professional development events, and women in business forums across Australia.
She is known for being honest, direct, and leaving audiences with something they can actually use, not just a feeling that fades by the time they hit the carpark.
Melissa speaks to the real experience of leading people: imposter syndrome, the self-doubt, the blind spots, the habits that quietly cost you credibility, and the small behaviour shifts that change everything.
Her audiences don't just feel energised. They leave with clear, specific actions they can implement before the week is out.
Every keynote is customised to your audience, your event theme, and the specific challenges your people are navigating.
Whether you're bringing together a room of new managers, a senior leadership team, or a mixed audience at a women in business event, Melissa will tailor the content to make sure it resonates and sticks.
