Fractional Support • Training & Workshops • Coaching

From Stuck to unstoppable

When you need clarity, support, or momentum, we help scaling businesses, teams, and professionals move from “what’s next? into “let’s go!”through fractional support, training & workshops, and coaching that actually moves the needle.

We know how frustrating it can be

You’re capable of so much more, but something’s holding you back. Maybe you’re:

  • Spinning your wheels on the same challenges month after month

  • Watching opportunities slip by because you can’t move fast enough

  • Feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate with no clear path forward

  • Stuck in reactive mode instead of driving the growth you know is possible

  • Burning out trying to figure it all out alone

The cost isn’t just time and money. It’s about losing momentum and not reaching the potential you know is there. You’ve worked too hard to stay stuck, you deserve to see what’s possible.

For Individuals

You thought having it all figured out meant smooth sailing. Instead, you're realizing that growth isn't linear and sometimes you need support to navigate what's next. Maybe you’re…

  • Feeling unclear about your direction, whether in work or life

  • Stuck in patterns that used to work but don’t anymore

  • Ready for change but unsure where to focus your energy first

There’s a way to get unstuck that feels right for you. Sometimes all it takes is the right conversation to see what’s possible.

For Organizations

You've built something great, but the scrappy, figure-it-out-as-you-go approach is wearing thin, and you need real systems and leadership to support what you're building.

As a growing business, you need systems and leadership that can scale, but you're not sure how to create calm out of the chaos. Imagine instead:

  • Teams that work together smoothly without constant firefighting

  • Clear systems and processes that actually get followed

  • Leaders who can handle challenges without everything landing on your desk

There's a way to transform the chaos into sustainable growth. Your team has the talent, they just need the right structure and support to thrive.

After two decades of solving people and business challenges, I know what it feels like to be responsible for making it all work. I've been the one rolling up my sleeves in scrappy environments, and also the one leading global initiatives impacting hundreds of thousands of professionals.

My experience spans every aspect of talent and HR (Big Law and Big 4) - from finding and keeping the right people, to building learning systems, to creating cultures where teams actually want to work. I hold my SHRM-SCP, MS in Human Resource Development, and certifications in coaching and talent optimization.

But here's what matters most: I've seen what works and what doesn't when businesses and individuals are in transformation mode. Whether you're building something new or rebuilding what you have, I bring both the strategic perspective and hands-on experience to help you get there.

  • Mark B., Law Firm Partner

    “Can't say enough about Melissa. We worked together for several years and she is hard-working, energetic, and among the nicest people I know. Her command of the details both large and small left no doubt she was the right person to handle the issues she dealt with daily. She brings more than competence; she makes everyone else rest a bit easier, confident that the issues will be identified, ideas will be presented, and solutions implemented. She is terrific and I highly recommend her”

  • Monica G., Talent Leader
