"I hired Melissa to take me to the next level, that was a game changer!"

"After running my interior design business for 15 years, I hired Melissa to take me to the next level. One of the things she convinced me to do was to take the first of many business retreats for some deep thinking without the distractions of my work and family. That was a game changer!

She showed me how to create a comprehensive proposal with specific timelines and deliverables that has given me the confidence to pursue larger jobs. I now do time blocking and she consistently holds me accountable. Melissa is always to the point, calling me out on my excuses and keeping me from overthinking things."

Rachel Reider, CEO & Principal Designer
Reider & CO, Boston, MA

"Since Melissa started coaching me last year, I've increased my revenue by 500%!"

She encouraged me to charge what I'm worth and focus on my ideal clients, those who share my vision and trust my expertise. Her inspirational coaching gets me in the right headspace.

Thanks to Melissa, I'm moving into a high-exposure office and hired three new people. I'm working less, making more and no longer stressed. Melissa teaches interior designers like me what we never learned in school.

Melissa helped me navigate and master the social media world so I could use it to market myself most effectively. She knows all the right experts to refer to me that also support my success.

Melissa is the best combination of being direct and compassionate.  She's like a boxing coach, giving me proven strategies and cheering me on from my corner."

"I didn't start growing until I started working with Melissa."

Even though I've been in business for seven years and had a senior designer and office manager on board, I didn't start growing until I started working with Melissa.

Melissa has an amazing background and experience. She's warm and open and sets expectations that hold me accountable. She showed me what was going on in the industry and what I was worth. I rebranded with a new logo and website, invested in professional photographs, and changed the way I price my projects.

The clear letter of agreement Melissa provided covers all design and legal bases so there are no costly assumptions. I'm now attracting my ideal clients-those who want a luxury lifestyle and often have more than one home.

With Melissa on my team, I'm making the right decisions to grow my business.

"I knew she would change my life forever-and she did!"

"After working as an interior designer at Lee Meier for four years, I purchased it. In the past, we offered design services for free. Melissa coached me to charge a separate design fee. That first client project paid for Melissa's six-month coaching program and then some. I would never have had the confidence to do that on my own.

Melissa is so dynamic, and her positive energy is infectious. She's also patient and sensitive to when I have too much going on and need a break, so I never feel pushed. She loves what she does and enthusiastically welcomes the opportunity to help me solve any of my problems. I have a long list of great strategies from her to implement when I'm ready.

Some people might think coaching is an expense but, when you find the right coach, it's an investment in your growth. I am extremely grateful for Melissa and am always recommending her to others."

Natalie Rich, Principal Designer and CEO
Lee Meier Interiors, Cleveland, Ohio

"Melissa knows the best ways to run and grow an interior design business."

"From her own experience and working with so many other designers throughout the years, Melissa knows the best ways to run and grow an interior design business.

She inspired me to create a vision board with my goals for the year. Within six months, I hit them all!

Melissa is very energetic and excited about delving into my business. Her persistence keeps me on task. She showed me how to get clear on the scope of each project, listing everything out so I can confidently charge a flat fee that's much higher than I charged before.

At her encouragement, I hired a virtual assistant so I can focus on what I do best and have much more time for my family. I wish I had worked with Melissa years ago."

"Melissa has given me the tools to manage, grow and sustainably move my business forward."

I had been working hard as an interior designer of luxury homes in the Naples market for almost 20 years. I realized I wanted to work less, make more and enjoy my life. Melissa gave me the confidence and courage to do it.

Melissa looks at things differently. Melissa's network of expert resources, including a copywriter and a website designer, have been invaluable. My beautiful, new website speaks to the ideal clients I want to attract.

Our minimum project investment is $350,000. By working with ideal clients, I can attract and retain a team of top designers who appreciate the more rewarding, larger projects.

My clients trust me. I now charge a flat fee, instead of tracking and wasting time on detailed invoices. Since working with Melissa, I've had my best year yet, with a 25 percent revenue growth.

She's caring and understanding, another set of eyes, a true partner and friend who swoops in with the answers when I face challenges. I have more weekends and nights off and am spending more time with my friends. I have a sense of calm and peace. Melissa has given me the tools to manage, grow and sustainably move my business forward."

Nan Wright, Principal Designer and CEO
Wright Interior Group, Naples, FL

"If you're ready to prioritize growth in your business and confidence in your worth, Melissa is the coach for you."

"If you're an interior designer who's ready to prioritize growth in your business and confidence in your worth, Melissa is the coach for you. Melissa values herself and her services, and that makes her a great role model.

Since working with her, we have the confidence to ask for more money and are more selective about our clients. We expanded our team, enabling us to provide an even better client experience. Our updated contract is thorough and organized, leaving nothing to chance.

We're moving into larger office space that reflects our style and talents. Accountability with Melissa is key.  She shows you how to find the time to focus on your business and growth, not only the day-to-day of project management.

Every meeting together is productive. She has good business sense and conveys a level of professionalism and expectations that get results. We never want to disappoint her."
