Melanie stands out as a project manager due to the combination of her solid PM skills and congenial, positive personality. I had recruited Mel to project manage a particularly ambiguous program and she was able to (1) make all the team members comfortable that we were going to figure this out together (easing the anxiety and providing a psychologically safe team environment) and (2) seamlessly guide the team using the latest tools - providing just the right amount of structure to maximize results. I highly recommend Mel for a wide variety of assignments requiring team building and rapid results.

I worked with Melanie as co-facilitator of a large cross functional group focused on a variety of people development topics. In her receptive style Melanie demonstrated an array of wonderful attributes, from assertiveness, to creativity to empathy. Her positive energy and skillful guidance led us to insights and outcomes that we wouldn't have achieved otherwise . I'd recommend Melanie's leadership on any similar type team. She's a model leader who gains followers trust and participation just by being her authentic self.
