Leadership
Finding yourself in the liminal, the bardo, the tumble dryer of change? Melanie might be the coach for you. Combining: 20+ years as a BBC foreign journalist, a keen eye, a warm heart and her Wayfinder skills to help you alchemise change into transformation. Together, we’ll find your golden path. And walk it.
I am a Board Whisperer, executive leader, and coach who guides high-achievers to clarify their vision, navigate challenging situations and transitions, and create fulfilling lives. Blending strategy with intuition, I help clients lead authentically and realize dreams once thought impossible — or not yet discovered.
I help founders fall in love with building their companies again.
After growing an investor-backed startup to millions and burning out, I know the pain of looking successful while drowning in self-doubt and overwhelm.
If you’re ready to lead with alignment, clarity, and ease, I’d love to support you on your journey.
Our work focuses on empowering you to reclaim creative control of your life experience through cultivating self-trust and accessing the clarity and confidence that already exist within. My approach centers you as the expert in your own journey, supporting you in creating a life well-lived on your own terms.
Do you second‑guess every decision, wonder if you’re “good enough,” and replay awkward moments on loop? That self‑doubt drains joy, freezes progress, and keeps you feeling small. I coach people‑pleasers to quiet the critic, anchor in self‑trust, and show up with clear, confident presence—on and off the call.
