Melissa Creede coaches leaders and change makers to activate their full potential. Melissa recognized the importance of career management and leadership development early in her own career. She rose from Project Coordinator to Vice-President in just four short years, and was the first and only woman on the executive team by the time she was thirty. Now she coaches others to be purposeful about their own career and leadership aspirations, and be successful in their existing and desired roles. Melissa’s strengths include her innate ability to maintain a synergistic balance between big-picture vision and tangible action and results. Melissa is known for being direct and clear, and for asking powerful questions to achieve clarity, learning, and action. She challenges clients to look at other perspectives, and to move beyond limiting behaviours and beliefs. She is celebrated for combining playfulness with purpose, motivation, and results. Melissa’s 25-years of experience have taken her from Board Rooms to non-electrified communities in rural Argentina, and everything in between. Melissa loves coaching those interested in making a difference in the world, particularly in the social impact space: social justice, sustainability, climate change, diversity, inclusion and anti-racism, LGBTQ, and clean tech, to name a few.
