Before all this, Mel was a lawyer and successful coach running a private business - coaching entrepreneurs and executives at major companies, such as: Johnson & Johnson, Bank of America, Boston Scientific, Fidelity, and working with individuals on more personal issues. Mel was featured on the cover of INC Magazine for her work coaching executives – and a media career ensued. While Mel often jokes on air that she is part cheerleader, part pain-in-the-ass, part business advisor, part best friend – one thing is for sure – she is a total lifesaver and her clients and listeners have the results to prove it.
With degrees from Dartmouth College and Boston College Law School, under her belt – Mel comes at problem solving from a very no-nonsense approach. Mel’s early career included being a criminal defense attorney for Legal Aid in Manhattan and an executive in two technology companies. She has also bought, run and sold a successful franchise business with her husband. She has been studying coaching since 1995 and has received extensive training, instruction and certifications on coaching methodologies, productivity techniques and public/motivational speaking.
