welcome to the CEOffice

my name is Melissa

I’m glad you’re here. As a founder who cares about your team and clients, you’ve taken a step in the right direction.

Many growing pains are directly connected to the type of relationship you have with your team. The best systems and workflows won’t save a lack of accountability, clear direction, and consistent communication. Your team needs a leader, not a best friend. Your clients want a business who meets or exceeds expectations.

I experienced similar growing pains in my leadership journey. Unfortunately, many lessons I learned the hard way because I didn’t have someone to guide me. Lessons about communication, boundaries, self-awareness, and personal discipline.

You’re not on this journey alone. I share lessons on the blog and podcast. And I continue to seek out constructive feedback, resources, and mentors to help me grow.

The desire to be a better leader is a lifelong practice! Join me in the journey.

anticipated needs

My experience allows me to see and understand how individual actions create a ripple effect. As a result, I’m proactive in identifying problems + solutions.

Melissa helped me uplevel all the systems throughout my company. Having hired a new studio manager in the spring, I knew I needed help getting all our systems in place and Melissa was a total rockstar.

I’d also like to add – the way that you’ve so quickly gained the respect of my team really speaks to the incredible leader that you are.

Melissa worked with me to implement processes and systems for training, employee management, and overall workflow management that have put me leaps and bounds beyond where I would have been on my own.
