Psychometric insight.
Better leadership.
We provide leadership coaching for individuals navigating complex power dynamics, and talent consulting for organizations looking to develop more effective leaders and stronger teams.
Many of our clients are women and non-binary leaders working in systems that weren’t designed for them.
What the research says:
In our 2025-2026 research study, we heard that women and non-binary leaders are carrying extraordinary responsibility—and working in systems that weren’t designed for them to succeed.
Other studies have shown that women hold just 34.7% of leadership roles in the U.S. despite representing nearly half the workforce. For every 100 men promoted to manager, only 81 women advance, creating compounding pressure at the top.
Senior women leaders report higher burnout, greater scrutiny, and fewer sponsorship opportunities, with nonprofit and mission‑driven leaders especially at risk—95% of nonprofit leaders report burnout concerns, and one‑third are very concerned about their own sustainability.

Danise (Founder / Podcast Host)
Before working with Melanie, I felt stagnant and unclear about my next professional steps.
After just three sessions, the biggest difference for me is clarity. I have a stronger sense of direction, renewed confidence in my decision-making, and a clearer understanding of how to move forward in a way that feels authentic and sustainable. Melanie’s program helped me reconnect with myself, name what I want, and move ahead with purpose and that has made all the difference.
Jennifer (University Administrator)
“Melanie provides a calm, logical, and curiosity-centered coaching experience.
She does this with masterful question asking, providing feedback, and summarizing what she has noticed and heard.
Melanie also loves to provide a wealth of resources. She's quick to make connections, seek innovative solutions, and bring resources to the table. Our conversations grounded my next career choices and I am grateful for the time and attention.”
Shannon (Executive Director)

She has a strong understanding of industries, as well as different jobs within industries. She is also incredibly insightful about peoples' gifts and talents – and therefore able to help people figure out what would be good and joyful matches for who they are and what their strengths are."
