Testimonials

"Melinda truly has a gift for identifying and tapping into individual strengths. Since we started working together almost three years ago, she has empowered me on a professional and personal level to embrace what makes me unique and lean into empathy and creativity in leadership. She actually promoted me to my first official leadership position and I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor to help me grow! I have a team full of people who feel the same and who have directly benefitted from what Melinda has to offer.

If you’re someone who likes to thoughtfully and strategically challenge norms to foster a better environment for your team, you will thrive working with Melinda. She’s blazing the path for a better work (and life) experience for independent thinkers in corporate."

"Where do you look to find a new outlook on who you are professionally, how you work, what drives you, and what can ignite and invigorate you?  What do you look for in a business coach? Look no further! I have had the pleasure of working with Melinda Buchmann over the course of several years and in a variety of capacities; first as she supported the global sales team I led, as a member of my direct staff, and – as an old dog needing to learn new tricks – as a coach for me as well. Throughout this time her skill, energy, insight, and passion have a positive effect and all those who work with her are better because of the strength she gives."

I had an incredibly positive experience going through career coaching with Melinda. Stepping into a new role and becoming a people leader for the first time felt daunting, but Melinda helped empower me and build my confidence every step of the way.

What stood out most was how our conversations evolved week after week; she always met me where I was, addressing immediate challenges while also encouraging me to think long-term about the kind of person and leader I wanted to become. She listened deeply, and each session felt personalized, with exercises and techniques tailored specifically to what I was navigating at the time.

Melinda’s support was thoughtful, caring, and impactful. I’d recommend her to anyone looking to grow professionally, through small and large times in your career.

Melinda had a profound impact on me and my story, and I cannot thank her enough. She saw me for who I am, could be, and want to be, and provided a mountain of empathy and wisdom, as well as the inspiration to be empowered in my authenticity. She helped me forge and re-forge stronger tools for life's challenges.
