Her goal is to help businesses and individuals achieve success, and that often happens through connecting clients with candidates who, on the surface, may not seem like a perfect match but who have the capabilities clients need. She listens, coaches and asks questions, so that she not only understand a person’s experience and skills, but also their individual talents, values and aspirations. Through this ability to listen with empathy, Melissa helps clients visualize their success and discover people and opportunities that bring more to their organizations than they’d ever thought possible.
