Lead with Purpose & Direction - Intro Package
Leadership coaching is most effective when it's tailored to the individual - structuring the coaching program based on the leader's development needs and finding the best coach match. This package is for new clients only and is a low-risk way to determine if coaching with me is a good fit for you. It includes: * Goal Setting Session (30 minutes) - we will discuss where you are today and what outcomes you want to achieve through coaching * Coaching Session (1 hour) - we choose a specific goal/behavior to focus on so you can experience what a coaching session with me is like * Personalized Coaching Plan - I provide you with my recommendation for next steps so you can achieve the outcomes you’re aiming for
What's included
I'm an International Coaching Federation Certified Coach with hundreds of hours of coaching experience and training. I've coached all levels of leaders from new managers to senior executives. I bring an optimistic, problem-solving approach to my coaching - knowing that every challenge has a number of possible solutions. (I think this is my prior engineering background coming out!) My clients have shared that this approach provides them with a sense of calm, and helps to expand their thinking on possible ideas and ways forward. My coaching takes into account the whole person, knowing our professional and personal lives and goals are very intertwined, and I love helping my clients find practical and realistic ways to achieve their goals.
- Clarity around your leadership development goals and coaching outcomes
- Coaching session on a specific goal/behavior with tangible actions to take afterwards
- Recommendation for next steps in your development, personalized to your specific situation
- No commitment/low-risk way of seeing if coaching with me is a good fit (at a heavily reduced rate)

Melissa S.
ICF Certified Coach | 20+ Years in Leadership Development
Hi! I’m Melissa - an ICF certified coach, facilitator, and former talent development executive. I started my career in engineering and product roles, but spent most of the past 20+ years working in Talent Development at large multinational companies. My work has ranged from new employee recruitment and success to developing and facilitating programs for the company’s top leadership. I’ve worked in global roles the majority of my career, with the highlight being getting to live and work in Asia for 2 years. As a Coach & Co-Founder of Together We, my work today is focused on helping people at transition points feel less alone and more confident. I’m based in Seattle, Washington and have worked with clients from across the globe on both professional and personal goals. My clients include senior executives at both large corporations and start-ups, new front-line managers, technical leaders, parents returning to work from parental leave, and friends who are exploring career options, to name a few. I also have extensive experience developing and facilitating workshops aimed at building both skills and confidence in a range of topics including leadership, career development, and change management. When I’m not coaching, you can find me watching a movie or show with my family, driving my teenage kids to a theater rehearsal or sports practice, taking a walk with my husband and dog, going for coffee or wine with friends, doing some sort of at-home exercise program, or reading a book and quietly recharging.
