Women often don’t see themselves as leaders, maybe because it is not in their job title, or they can’t see the impact they are having in their role. This couldn’t be further from the truth, and is why I am on a mission to help women realise the leader within, and step forward into that power.
All women are leaders, and it is a privilege to coach them on their leadership journey and see the transformation. Leadership starts simply by being good at your job no matter where that job is in an organisation, and seeing the value you bring. Women demonstrate aspects of leadership through the delivery of their mahi and how they show up. Your job matters and is often where we can find brilliant examples of leadership. Create a win list to remind yourself of positive feedback, successes, and achievements, and consider how these demonstrate your leader within.
Recently I worked with the incredibly talented Kelly Borst. It was a pleasure shining a spotlight on that talent to empower Kelly to step forward, proactively manage her career, and develop her leadership. It’s so exciting to me when the women I serve dig deep, show courage and experience the transformation that they have within them.
Kelly achieved a promotion and a salary that recognised her value. Here’s what Kelly had to say about her experience:
Melanie’s advice and support has truly increased the confidence I have in myself as a women and my abilities at work. She showed me the importance of leadership at any level of the business and how we all have a part to play and valuable contributions to make. Melanie’s support and advice really helped me step out of my shell and feel confident to contribute my thoughts and ideas.
Melanie supported and guided me through new role negotiations and without her in my corner, I would never have felt as confident or prepared as I did. Melanie has the ability to cut through any uncertainty and see things for how they are. I feel extremely lucky to have someone like Melanie as a mentor who is incredibly quick thinking, creative and committed.
Melanie is 100% committed to her work and clients. Her passion and energy are so contagious. I can say without a doubt that she really gets the working environment for woman at all role levels. Melanie really understands people and how to strategically navigate career and life goals.
