Building meaningful
careers & impactful work.

"Transitioning out of full time entrepreneurship to corporate Project Management seemed like an impossible task, until I met Melanie. In 60 minutes, I had a personalized step by step plan, detailed resume/LinkedIn feedback, interview prep questions, and job search strategy. The best part is she continues to make herself available even after the call. The best investment I've made in my career by far!"

"After 10 years as a business management consultant for one of the Big 4 firms — leading multi-million-dollar people initiatives for agencies like DHS, USCIS, and the CDC — I felt called to serve people in a different way. I knew I wanted to pivot into Marriage and Family Therapy, but with no direct experience, I wasn't sure how to make it happen. That's when I reached out to Melanie. She helped me see that everything I needed was already in my story — I just needed the right strategy to communicate it. She connected the dots between my consulting background, volunteer work, personal experiences, and passions, and helped me build a compelling narrative that truly reflected my purpose. Thanks to her coaching, I was accepted into one of the top Marriage and Family Therapy programs in the country. Today, I'm officially a Marriage and Family Therapist and actively working with nonprofits to support counseling and mental health initiatives in my community. Melanie didn't just help me make a career change — she helped me walk into my calling with clarity and confidence. If you're feeling stuck or unsure how to pivot into the work you're meant to do, she's the coach you need in your corner."

"Melanie is a multifaceted expert in project management, career strategy, and execution. I turned to her for career coaching after being laid off from a company where I worked for 20 years. She helped me reposition my experience, crafted multiple versions of my resume, and provided ongoing coaching — leading to a six-figure role at a top four accounting firm within months. She seamlessly stepped in as a project manager to manage my wedding and bridal shower on a tight timeline, coordinating vendors, handling payments, and ensuring every detail was executed flawlessly. Her detailed event and project plans kept us on track, on budget, and stress-free. On the big day, she managed escalations and logistics so I could fully enjoy the moment. If you're looking for someone who can bring structure, strategy, and results to any project, I highly recommend working with Melanie!"

"Working with Melanie was indeed a game-changer for me. Her career coaching session was incredibly impactful, giving me the clarity and confidence I needed to take the steps in my career pivot to project management. She can listen, assess, and provide thoughtful, tailored guidance that speaks directly to your goals. I'm beyond grateful for her attention to detail and personalized approach to our session. I walked away feeling motivated and with a clear, actionable plan for moving forward. If you're feeling stuck or uncertain or need expert career guidance, Melanie will help you navigate your path. Fast forward a few months, I landed a dream remote PM role, and recruiters today are still reaching out about new opportunities. Thank you again, Melanie, for your insight, support, and encouragement — I couldn't have asked for a better coach!"

"I love how Melanie goes above and beyond for her clients. When I asked for help with my resume and interview guidance, she really helped pull out all of my experience and really empowered me in my career transition. Even after our call, she helps me with any follow up questions. Fast forward to today, I've landed my dream role as Sales & Event Project Manager for MILK Cosmetics! I highly recommend her services to anyone!!!!"

"Melanie has provided so much insight that helped me rethink how I approach my career pivot. Her thoughtful approach—listening first, then responding with meaningful insights and solutions—was incredibly impactful. I truly appreciated the time she invested in reinventing my résumé and offering feedback on various revisions. When I faced a major decision, Melanie made herself available for a quick phone call. That kind of empathy and candor is rare—and clutch—during moments of professional transition. She's a stand-up woman, and I would absolutely recommend her to others seeking support through a career pivot or in need of a coach."

"Meeting with Mel was exactly what I needed at this stage of my career. I've been feeling a bit lost and unsure about my next move, and her calm, structured, and thoughtful approach helped bring so much clarity. She asked the right questions, shared realistic steps I can take, and gave me a roadmap that finally makes this career pivot feel possible. You can tell she genuinely cares and wants to see you win. I left our session feeling encouraged, informed, and actually excited for what's next. If you're on the fence, book the session!! You'll walk away with direction, strategy, and a whole new sense of confidence."

"Over the past few weeks, I have been looking into pivoting into project management. Like so many before me, I searched YouTube, Reddit, and AI sites to no avail. I was about to give up until I stumbled upon Melanies YouTube page. Her story and how she made the transition spoke to me. I finally found all what I was looking for. Not only is Melanie thorough, but she also has a wealth of knowledge and asked targeted questions during our session. I left with a focused and strategic plan to make my transition. I am invigorated and excited for the future, and to continue working with Melanie. If you are thinking about working with her, I recommend doing so."

"Melanie was a breath of fresh air! I spoke with her a few days before my first interview of the year during a power session. I am transitioning into Project Management from another industry and I knew Melanie would be the best person to prep me for some really tough questions. Long story short, I got the job offer! Even though I later learned it wasn't the role for me, I was able to use the information she sent me and her advice for my next interview, and I knocked it out the park!"

"The Strategic Planning session was phenomenal! My brain was all over the place before the call, but you helped me make sense of everything. I walked away with a plethora of action items! I also really like that there's a recording of the call sent afterward, and the support and help don't just stop after that. You make yourself available to your clients WHILE they're executing the plan & I find that extremely valuable!"

"Mel, thank you for all the work you put into our career coaching strategy session call today. It definitely exceeded my expectations, and I was shocked we were able to cover so many topics during the meeting and the amount of detail provided. I definitely recommend anyone needing a step by step personalized plan to book a call with you. I look forward to our next sessions, and I truly appreciate your support."

"Melanie is, without a doubt, one of the most impressive project managers I've had the pleasure of working with in my 20+ years in leadership. During her time as a Contract Senior Technical IT Project Manager for our healthcare organization of over 30,000 employees, Melanie managed over seven complex projects simultaneously with a level of precision, clarity, and leadership that is rare to find. Her ability to juggle competing priorities, drive initiatives forward, and bring alignment across cross-functional teams was simply remarkable. I often referred to her as Superwoman because that's exactly what she was to our team. She set a new bar for what I look for in a project manager. In fact, she's now the standard I use when hiring full-time PMs. Any organization would be lucky to have her on their team."

"Melanie's support throughout our business journey was truly exceptional. From the outset, we presented her with our vision and a demanding deadline, and she seamlessly handled the rest. Melanie not only provided invaluable resources and guidance but also kept us motivated every step of the way. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that everything stayed on track, and her regular meetings kept everyone aligned. Despite the tight timeline, Melanie orchestrated everything with remarkable efficiency, enabling us to achieve our milestone in record time. We owe a great deal of our success to Melanie's expertise and dedication. She's truly amazing! I wholeheartedly endorse her to anyone seeking top-notch support for their endeavors."

"Melanie provided Freelance Project Management consulting work for DailyMode Studio, while I was the Operations Manager there. She was fabulous to work with in every way! Always prepared, collaborative, curious, and instinctual. She takes the time to listen, learn and really understand the whole of a business so as to provide the best overall support. I would work with Melanie again in a heartbeat!"

"Mel is an exceptional talent and I was fortunate to have her on my team. She joined the Ambient Experience business in August 2022. In her 5 months with the business in 2022 she contributed SIGNIFICANTLY to the development and growth of the Behavioral Health program in NAM. She met or exceeded all of the objectives she was given for on-boarding, product commercialization and launch in the market, and business development and sales to support funnel growth, customer engagement and orders. In that short timeframe we grew the funnel by 78%. She was independent in supporting customer meetings and presentations immediately. Even traveling by herself to customer presentations and conference on our team's behalf. I would highly recommend leveraging her strategic partnership for your next venture."

"When I felt God calling me to start a podcast, I had so many questions. I had the vision but had no idea how I would get there. I looked into Mel's project management planning sessions, and it was exactly what I needed. Working with Mel was one of the best decisions I could have made in my early stages of planning! She was thoughtful, creative, gave feedback and asked me hard questions that helped me further mold my idea into a clearer picture. I had so many doubts and hesitations, but after my power hour session, I was left feeling motivated, empowered, and inspired to execute the vision that God gave me. Thanks to Mel, I got a step-by-step guide of how I should proceed in executing my Podcast, and am so excited that my vision has come to life!"

"I highly recommend Melanie to support project management goals. Melanie worked on a very complex quality program restructure project for us and showed herself to be collaborative, poised, and willing to learn from others. She interfaced with system leaders very well and collaborate with other project managers effectively to execute on a complex organizational transition. She listens well and cares about getting the job done right! I'm very proud of her continuing to pursue her goals as a project management professional."

"I recently attended Melanie Christina's LinkedIn Profile Optimization workshop, and it was incredibly valuable. Melanie's live demonstrations and real‑time feedback created an engaging environment where participants could immediately apply what they learned. Her willingness to review and update profiles on the spot made the session feel personalized and practical. Melanie also highlighted tips and lesser‑known LinkedIn features that many typical users aren't aware of, which added an extra layer of insight to the session. While the workshop was tailored to those considering a job search in the next year, many of the strategies and best practices she shared apply equally well to virtual networking maintenance and long‑term professional branding."

"I organized the NSBE Twin Cities Professionals Chapter "LinkedIn Refresh" workshop and hired Melanie as our experience career coach. It was an incredibly valuable experience. She broke down LinkedIn strategy in a way that resonated across all career stages and offered practical guidance on profile optimization, networking, and engagement that I could implement immediately. Participants told me after the session that the live walkthroughs, real-world examples, and candid Q&A made the session both engaging and impactful. Whether you're a student, early-career professional, or seasoned professional, Melanie provides clear tools to strengthen your professional brand and confidently leverage LinkedIn as a career-growth platform. I highly recommend hiring her for your next professional development event."
