Success from Clients
Thanks for listening and adapting to my needs!
Melissa was an excellent sounding board. Working with her forced me to say out loud what I was thinking in my head. She was also a great accountability partner. Knowing that I had a meeting coming up with her forced me to engage in activities so I had progress to report.
Melissa was very engaging. She helped me to see things from a different point of view. She took an interest in my overall practice, including engaging my staff.
She was always on point. She was flexible, understanding but also set expectations and was someone I was accountable to. She engaged not only me but my team in group conversations and exercises. We all found it very valuable. She has the right amount of push and empathy combined.
She took my team through the DISC process and we engaged each other on our similarities and differences, She worked with us to organize and focus our tasks in to groups and priorities. She had each of us go through a mind clear exercise regularly which greatly opened my team members eyes.
I am a much better presenter and “preparer” for my sales meetings. I was more of a compliance manager and not generating as many sales ideas as I thought I should. I was also getting too much into what could happen; and coach got me to live in the now and use the tools we have. It was like going back to the basics but someone making sure I remembered what the basics were.
The picture of my day before Melissa looked “well-intentioned” but undisciplined. I never had a handle on the incoming flow of email, VM, & paper, and some things slipped through the cracks. Now I am much more organized and very little slips through. Coming up with a weekly goal sheet has kept me focused on the most important activities. I accomplish more of what's important on a daily basis. And, like I mentioned, talking some things through with Melissa has greatly helped me manage several interoffice personnel conflicts successfully. She has helped me be more consistent and productive.
