Powerful Communications

“I met Melle when planning our department’s off site retreat. From the first phone call, Melle matched ideas with our vision. Since our off site, colleagues still reference some of the things they learned about each other…we were able to have a discussion that allowed us to dig deeper and make connections.”

“I was honestly blown away by this presentation. Bravo!! I have been a part of challenging conversations around equity. This is the missing piece, the human connection. You've artfully and safely created a space for us to communicate with one another and share human connection. Thank you, and I cannot wait for session 2.”

“Thank you for creating a warm space that allowed people to talk. You gave enough time in break out rooms to talk but not so much that we got stuck ... does that make sense? The time limit was given and provided structure to limit and focus thoughts. I was also glad that my breakout rooms involved different people than I had ever spoken with before.”

“I thought this workshop was extremely beneficial. Although I feel that I have at least been exposed to most of these topics before, the insights and methods of doing it with the examples were really eye-opening and I thought the entire thing overall was well done.”

“I think today opened up important, valuable, and slightly uncomfortable conversations about the realities of our world today. If we want to make each child feel like they belong in the classroom these conversations have to be a part of how we move forward. Melle and Melissa are extremely well spoken and informative. I look forward to continuing the conversation!”
