The trickiest challenges aren’t product problems… they’re people problems.

I wrote the book on stakeholder alignment and I can help you deal with the “politics.”

No one “likes” politics. But it’s less daunting when you have a partner to work through it with you. I am a Product Leadership Coach who brings calmness and clarity to help you deal with your toughest problems at work and get unstuck. You can do it! You just need to pause and take a breath…

Struggling with a difficult stakeholder?

Have a barrage of stakeholder requests?

Stuck in a role and trying to get promoted?

Product team moving too slow?

Not finding good CPO candidates?

Having trouble aligning on goals?

Feeling stuck?

I wrote a book!

Product management naturally incorporates empathy, psychology, and thinking outside the box in pursuit of the best design for products. But how often do you apply those same skills to your relationships with people in your company?

  • As I was reflecting on my job search, I kept thinking about how helpful and encouraging you were throughout the process—I truly appreciate all of your insights, advice, and support. It made a real difference, and I just wanted to say thank you.

     Alicia - Product Manager (recently started at a new company)

  • Melissa is thoughtful, responsive and genuinely cares to provide the appropriate level of guidance. She has been invaluable in helping me navigate the personality dynamics of a very small team. She excels at identifying my blind spots, particularly when I'm feeling overwhelmed, and helps me decouple my emotional responses by offering a fresh perspective each time.

    Eliana, Head of Product and startup founding member

  • Melissa is an absolutely great Product Coach. What’s special about her is that she thinks beyond Product Teams and their Products. Some adoption problems cannot be tackled with further product development and features. Melissa helped us realise that in order to achieve our goals we needed the whole company rallying with us.
