Mel had a gift for seeing around corners and identifying blind spots and then building a simple strategic plan for getting what you want. I’ve personally seen her whiteboard entire businesses from scratch, and then hand over an execution plan on a platter. She has a brilliant mind, and is a master at helping people to see where they might get stuck along their journey. If you have the chance to work with Mel, I have no doubt she’ll get you going in a direction toward fulfillment and living a life you love!
