The automation capabilities are incredible. We've saved countless hours and improved our customer engagement significantly.

Working with Melissa has been truly transformative. Her unique blend of professional expertise and personal insight has created the perfect balance of empathy, practicality, vision, and motivating energy. She provides the right mix of encouragement and accountability, always questioning while supporting every step of the way. Thanks to her, I’ve been able to acknowledge my desire for something bigger and more fulfilling than I was previously allowing myself to dream of. Cindy, Strategy Consultant User Image I’ve worked extensively with Melissa Palmer over a few months. Many things impress me about Melissa. Melissa stays focused both on the client’s immediate needs/priorities and the strategic picture. I’m particularly amazed at her wealth of and breadth of knowledge on a range of career and job search topics. Melissa is very responsive to her client’s needs, responding to emails in a timely manner that provide substantive and strategic support between sessions. She also makes time for additional meetings within short periods of time when needed. Melissa is a consummate professional and delivers exceptional client service. I wished I worked with her sooner! Alexandra Schwall, Creative Strategy, Brand Development and Digital Marketing User Image Melissa's impact on my career trajectory was transformative.
 One of Melissa's standout qualities is her adeptness at guiding candidates through the interview process. Her advice, tailored to my individual circumstances, played a crucial role in my preparation and eventual success in landing a job that was an ideal match for me. A job that I would never have considered before working with her. 

I recommend Melissa to anyone seeking guidance, whether it's a complete career change, a pursuit of a promotion, or simply a need to untangle the complexities of one's professional journey. Her expertise and empathetic approach create an environment where growth and success are inevitable. Alicia Mahase, Senior Tax Manager User Image As a result of working with Melissa, I went from feeling confused to being clear on what I most want in my next leadership role. She helped me understand my core strengths, priorities, and values so that I can confidently go after what I want (instead of just pursuing anything that comes across my path and hoping it works). If you are thinking about coaching with Melissa, I highly recommend you just do it! Laura Euller, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Professional User Image Melissa's career coaching is exceptional. Her approach is a unique blend of the experience she brings from many years of coaching as well as up to date information from many other authors and thinkers in career and personal fulfillment. She has helped me reframe my thinking to look beyond the next job and think more holistically about a direction that maximizes my strengths and interests. I would highly recommend working with Melissa - the lessons and framing she has shared is a long term investment that I continue to use every week. My favorite Melissa quote: "Don't let your job get in the way of your career". Thanks Melissa! Russell Anderson, Sales Executive User Image Melissa, Thank you for yesterday's session. It really was eye opening for me and I believe will enable me to break through. Understanding and connecting with my future self made a lot of sense to me and shifted my mind set from not seeing opportunities to knowing there are endless possibilities. It really was amazing to talk in the first person about where I will be in 2 years and what I have achieved, received, how much I have learned and how I have grown. Yesterday's session combined with the other work we have done is setting me back on track, building a plan on how to doit, executing the plan and being focused every day on my future self. Shedding the doubt, the fear, the ambiguity, the regret, the distractions and knowing I am enough, I can handle anything, and I am in control. Simply awesome! You may be right - I am amazing.... (LOL) Russell Jeremy Coffey, Head of Operations User Image I had the pleasure of working with Melissa through the Tufts University’s Fletcher midcareer, global MBA/GBA program. One of the first things I did after enrolling as a student was schedule a coaching session with Melissa - I’m so glad I did. Her advice and encouragement are among the most valuable components of my time at Fletcher. She helped me harness the benefits of my business education with practical advice that I have applied into my career and to my teams. I can confidently say that thanks to working with Melissa I am a better leader, a better learner, and a better all-around professional. I don’t think enough students understand the value of her career coaching - if they did it would be nigh impossible to book time on her calendar! John Binda, Senior Business Solutions Manager User Image I highly recommend Melissa to anyone in need of career guidance and support. Her extensive experience, strategic insights, and helpful resources were exactly what I needed to figure out my next steps and design a plan to get there. I not only gained clarity on my superpowers and personality (and how these translate into my value proposition), I also better understand my weaknesses and I feel far more empowered as a result. As a result of working with Melissa, I’ve learned how to job search more effectively, communicate in more compelling ways, and strengthen my confidence to go after what I want. Gustavo Karakey, Digital Marketer, University Professor & Corporate Trainer User Image Melissa is empathetic, positive, and provides lots of encouragement and genuine praise. I have begun to see myself in a new, more accurate light! You kind of feel like, “Again, maybe I should think more highly of myself.” I believe this kind of genuine reinforcement is almost as important as the practical knowledge needed to prepare for a job search. Melissa is equally strong on the practical front. Because of her abundant experience and expertise as a vocational counselor, Melissa has accumulated a wealth of resources, templates, forms, and practice exercises for every stage of the job search: identifying your superpowers, narrowing your focus, resume, LinkedIn, networking, outreach, and the rest. I feel like I finally found the support and guidance I’ve been needing!
