Melinda has had a significant impact on my team with running a workshop on Edisc. Her professional approach and depth of knowledge meant my team have self reflected and improved their own influencing skills and leadership style. She knew how to get the best out of them and I have seen a difference in their day to day job. I recommend Melinda to work not only with you as a leader but with the team aswell. What Melinda achieved in two days in improving productivity, would take any leader a lot more.

We spend a great deal of time on the detail and assessing and analysing properties from all angles so that we are confident in what we recommend to our clients. We don't stop at 1 or 2 properties, instead we thoroughly research several areas and properties and hone in the specific attributes of a property.

Communications Coach
-
Feb 2011 - Nov 2014
As a communications coach & behavioural analyst I assess how people communicate with themselves and those around them and show them how to be more effective with delivering their message. As we all know, the tone you use, the speed of your speech, the words that you use and what you say can have a long lasting negative impact on the results you achieve in life, however many people do not know what simple changes they need to make to their behaviour and the way they communicate to achieve a more positive outcome. By being more strategic in your communication you can spend less time and effort getting your message across and more time and effort achieving the result you desire.
