Mel's Personal Commitment to Learning

I am actively engaged in ongoing training in the various disciplines of coaching, mentoring, training, and specialized counseling so that I can always bring my "best self" to every client conversation and interaction. Please see my continuing education and personal certification roadmap as indications of my dedication to the tasks and disciplines that pertain to the coaching craft.
