“I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for such an engaging and insightful class!

The content was informative and interesting but what really stood out was your ability to keep the session dynamic and hold my attention throughout the two days.

Your examples, delivery and real-world connections made the topic not only easy to follow but I genuinely enjoyable to learn.

I’m not sure how exactly you did it! But please send other classes you teach.”

“Melinda doesn’t just teach leadership—she empowers you to step into it with confidence and clarity from day one.

I had the pleasure of taking Melinda’s Effective Leadership course in July 2025, and it was a truly transformative experience. From the very first session, Melinda’s engaging teaching style made leadership principles feel not just accessible, but immediately actionable.

What I learned has already made a measurable difference—especially in my public speaking. Her techniques have been a game-changer for my confidence and presence, and I’m putting them into practice for upcoming presentations to leadership.

Melinda has a gift for creating an environment where growth feels natural and achievable. She blends deep expertise with genuine encouragement, inspiring you to lead with both skill and authenticity.
I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from her and am already looking forward to the next course.

Melinda is not just an excellent instructor—she’s a catalyst for leadership growth.”
