    - Emily S.

  • I had never sat down and evaluated my core values. I may have had a sense of what they were, but not a clear idea. Because I didn’t really know my core values, I did not know what I should be looking for in career growth and I certainly did not know how to articulate it. Melissa’s program gave me this amazing gift = clarity.

    - Melissa C.

  • “Melissa makes you feel like she’s with you right at that moment to tackle the challenges you’ve been struggling with.”

Hi, I’m Melissa McCormick!

I’ve spent the past thirty years navigating corporate America and learning how to communicate and negotiate up and around an organization. I’ve been held back from fear of speaking up and trying to balance my family and career. I was fortunate to crash through the glass ceiling with help from mentors and sponsors.

It took me over twenty-five years to reach the boardroom and to become a member of the leadership team. My goal is to help you crash through the glass ceiling and to fix the ‘broken rung’ of the corporate ladder in much less time.

I’ve helped female leaders from entry-level to executives navigate the workplace from small businesses to large multi-national corporations.

My leadership philosophy includes five pillars [Courage, Communication, Connections, Community and Care (self)] and is based on building relationships built on trust, integrity, and ethics. If you are tired and frustrated with being overlooked and unheard, then I can help.
