COACHING + FACILITATING

  • For organisations seeking clarity at moments of growth, change, or internal friction.

    This work supports leaders and teams when strategy alone isn’t enough—when misalignment shows up as fatigue, indecision, or quiet resistance. We focus on how people think, decide, and lead when the stakes are real.

    The approach is grounded, human, and practical—supporting clearer decision-making, stronger leadership presence, and cultures that don’t require constant performance to function.

  • For individuals navigating transition, leadership pressure, or a sense that something needs to change—but hasn’t yet found language.

    This work supports people who are outwardly capable and inwardly questioning. Those who have achieved, are achieving, or are being asked to step into more—and want to do so without losing themselves in the process.

    Sessions create space to strip back external expectations, reconnect with instinct, and move forward with clarity that feels lived-in, not rehearsed.

  • For groups who want shared language, insight, and momentum—without the performative gloss of traditional training.

    Workshops are designed to cut through abstraction and land where people actually work: inside real decisions, real tension, and real leadership moments. They combine reflection with application, creating clarity that carries beyond the room.

    Each workshop is tailored to context and audience, ensuring the work feels relevant, engaging, and immediately usable.

Understanding what isn’t being said

Clients often say that working with Melanie feels like being deeply understood, that she can quickly identify what’s actually driving an issue, even when it’s hard to articulate.

This ability allows the work to move past surface fixes and into real clarity.

OUR APPROACH

Clarity before confidence. Instinct as intelligence

The Instinctive Coach is grounded in a simple belief: most people don’t need fixing, they need space to hear themselves clearly again.

Through deep listening, precise questioning, and real-world leadership experience, the work reconnects people with their own instinct, not as a vague feeling, but as a reliable form of intelligence.

It’s coaching for alignment, decision-making, and sustainable leadership, in work and in life.

PHILOSOPHY OF WORK →

Clarity doesn’t arrive all at once. It reveals itself.

Clients often say that working with Melanie feels like the clouds clearing—what once felt crowded or confusing begins to make sense.

The path forward doesn’t change.
Your ability to see it does.
