Introduction: Forbes’ Coaches Council / One of Creative Click Media's Successful Women of 2019 / Influence Digest Media’s Top 15 Coaches in Tampa in 2022 / Bestselling Author Hi, there! I’m Meridith Alexander. Fair warning: my coaching options are “not your mama’s” generic, entry-level, low-budget cookie cutter coaching programs. They will require an investment, but as you'll see from my testimonials, I hear over and over again from clients that the investment was definitely worth it. BEFORE YOU REACH OUT: until we establish what would be the optimal number of sessions for you, please click "one time only" when you express interest in contacting me. Once we have discussed your objectives, we can select a program/time frame that will be a great fit for you. What you experience will be more than simply "career" or "life" coaching. I’m known as the one that top professionals hire when you are ready to turbo charge the momentum in all aspects of your life — personally and professionally — by learning some of the most cutting edge strategies for both the inner and outer game. Yes, my programs specialize in upleveling not only the actions you take, but the way you think as you are taking action because it’s your inner narrative, beliefs and perspectives that inspire these actions. I’m the ideal coach for you when you are ready to invest in programs that will SIGNIFICANTLY move the needle. My mission is to help you achieve not only career excellence but also personal growth and inner game harmony in the process. Because true success is not a quick, one size fits all process, I'm probably not the right option if you're tight on funds, just "curious" or expecting to make a minimal commitment. Even if you're looking specifically for my renowned Interview Ninja™ prep strategy, expect of the process to require 3-4 sessions. I have a reputation for being a "do-er" so respectfully, I'll expect you to show up ready to play full out. Although I do offer some shorter programs, if you have big objectives, maximum impact often requires the willingness to commit to 2-6 months of consistent coaching in order to really solidify your results and progress. Who are my typical clients? Even though many of my clients are highly accomplished in their field, virtually all are looking for some kind of important change, transformation or promotion. For some, it’s a career change or help with securing an elusive promotion. Many are exactly where they’d hoped to be in their careers but they don’t feel like they thought they would be feeling. Some are young professionals who are committed to giving themself an edge right from the start. Many struggle with communication and conveying an image that captures their full potential. Others are simply feeling stuck, frustrated and in need of guidance so that they can figure out what’s next and how to get excited about the days ahead. In other words, my programs are for you if any (or in some cases MANY) of the following apply: You feel like everyday keeps you stuck on the same hamster wheel and you realize that if you stick to your current approach, you’ll be in this same place months, possibly years from now. You want to believe that you have the potential to go further than where you are right now, but you want to achieve great results without sacrificing a healthy, thriving personal life or your own personal development. You want to feel like you are making a greater impact. You want to feel financially successful yet at the end of the day, you want to feel like you are helping others in a way that expands your energy rather than leaves you depleted. You want to reignite a sense of passion, play, joy and pride in who you are and what you are doing. You want to feel more in control of your destiny and rekindle your ability to dream and expect great solid results from the action that you take. You want be able to get more clear on your “big why”/ calling and bring that more into alignment with your livelihood. You want more clarity on your full potential of what’s possible for you with a clear strategy for how to get there. You are time crunched, perhaps not where you thought you’d be at this point and you realize that you need help finding a better approach so that you can collapse years into months (and in some instances days). You realize that your current approach and habits play a role in the time/ financial overwhelm that you may be experiencing right now and you realize that no trial and error/ Plan B / quick fix approach is going to change this. Don’t have enough time? Now’s the time to learn how to change that. You want to progress beyond the place where you know that you are showing up as your own worst enemy and allowing that critical voice to rule. You want to learn how to communicate so that you are seen, heard, understood and recognized for what you have to offer. This communication includes the dialogue within your own inner narrative. You want to have the unshakeable confidence that comes from knowing who you are, what you want and what you’re meant for and that deep sense of self that creates trust, faith and security regardless of the circumstances. You are realizing that the reason that you have been saying “I can’t” is precisely the reason why you should. You are realizing that coping methods have become simply bandaids that are keeping you where you are personally and professionally. You know that you must get help and make important changes, even when they seem at first to be hard or scary. You appreciate the power of outer game strategies but you realize that they rarely come to fruition without learning how to play your inner game to win. You want to show up consistently with more confidence and self-worth, leading by influence and a force to be reckoned with. You are ready to unleash the most EPIC (Empowered, Purpose-Driven, Innovative and Collaborative) version of yourself so that you can look back one day knowing that you have truly lived. You want more than a novice accountability coach. You want experienced coaching combined with expert mentoring backed up by decades of training by some of the world’s top experts in numerous diverse fields ranging from mindset and NLP to branding, marketing and corporate leadership. The common thread here is that all of my clients are (or evolve into) top 1%-ers (whatever that looks like for them) who are willing to take a leap of faith by believing that what they hope to achieve is possible, that they can do it and that it will be worth it. And they realize that they need expert guidance, new strategies and a new approach if they want their success to grow and their potential to blossom. To be totally transparent, for my programs to be a good fit for you, you MUST be willing and able to invest enough time and money into getting results that you may be having difficulty getting on your own. Again, this is not entry level coaching or for someone who is “just curious”. This is not for the person who is looking for a magic wand to create massive results with minimal investment or pattern disruption. These programs do require commitment and investment. The numerous testimonials on this platform came from clients, many of whom arrived skeptical and afraid, who ultimately took the leap and played 100%. I do have some specialty programs that are smaller (3-5 sessions) and I encourage you to visit my site so that you can get a feel for what I offer. However, even when you enroll in one of my targeted programs such as Interview Ninja, these programs are cutting edge so they are priced accordingly. I’ll emphasize again though that, as you can see from the huge volume of 5 star testimonials, when clients do invest and dive fully into their chosen program, the results for many, many clients have been dramatic. In the past 4 years alone I have helped hundreds of clients makeover their lives both personally and professionally in a way that prior to learning my unique approach they believed to be impossible. My clients have grabbed promotions including C-suite positions (even one woman who fulfilled a life dream to become the CEO of a top advertising agency). They have negotiated incredibly favorable terms into new offers. One client landed a C-suite position with a top retailer and managed to negotiate an “in person” role into one where he could primarily work remotely from another state. Another client, thanks to learning the Interview Ninja approach to interviews, made herself so irresistible to an organization that they increased their initial offer to her by more than $40,000. The results speak for themselves. So many clients have gotten both tangible and intangible returns on their investments. They have shifted to entirely new careers, launched new business, reinvented themselves, boosted their income by tens of thousands of dollars and most importantly discovered just how possible it is to live a life that speaks to both your purpose and your passion. And they have usually learned how to have a whole lot of fun in the process. As one of my clients said, “When I finally stopped expecting the best training to be the cheapest and the cheapest to be the best, my results immediately began getting better…You don’t train in a few months to coach the world series. Why would I want anyone with only minimal life experience to coach ME?” ABOUT ME: I like to say that I’m in the business of helping my clients (and corporate teams) come even more alive. Our mission is to get them out there achieving more influence, impact and income while rediscovering the surprise and delight in their own life. And in some cases, maybe even accomplishing things that previously felt impossible. I’ve poured my heart, soul, and a jaw-dropping $400,000+ into personal and professional development, investing over 24,177,600 precious minutes into honing my skills to be of the highest service to my diverse range of clients. I’ve studied at some of the finest educational institutions in the US and worked with some of the top coaches, mentors, teachers and trainers in the world. However, it has been my life experiences that have given me some of my biggest, most insightful “aha” moments. Over the decades, my “School of Hard Knocks” training came in the form of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the constant need to prove myself, battling every fear that stood between me and my quest to understand that one critical question that no one seemed to be able to sufficiently answer: “How to Choose to Live”. I’ve navigated the shark filled waters of life as a single mom. I’ve thrived beyond an abusive spouse, crippling anxiety and panic attacks, the unyielding pressures of entrepreneurship and business partners who betrayed me (leaving me on the line for $100,000 in payments owed within the following 7 days). I’ve weathered periods of extreme financial stress — all culminating in 2016 when my youngest daughter was crushed by a boulder and not expected to live. It was then that I learned just how NON-NEGOTIABLE it is to know how to play the inner game to win. For months, doctors worked their magic on her physically. But it was all those years invested in learning how to emerge from challenges as a bigger bolder version of myself that led me to show up at my daughter’s side as a force to be reckoned with. Yes, she survived the unsurvivable and to this day, those neuro-surgeons say that we are a true miracle family. (You may even have seen us on one episode of the Miracle Show.) After months spent with my daughter in the ICU, we returned home to a life that had been changed forever. There I was suddenly thrust into the role of Schuyler’s (Sky-ler) 24/7 caregiver and forced to entirely reinvent my career path at the same time. I had never expected this. It was a formidable challenge, but you know what? It was also a profound gift in many ways that I also never would have expected. Why? Because in the last 5 years, I've had the incredible privilege of helping thousands of people embark on their own journeys of growth and transformation. Our story and my EPIC YOU formula has been featured in major media worldwide. I have published two books (The Sky is the Limit and 100 Days of EPIC) that critics have called a “must-read if you want to evolve in the best version of yourself”. I have appeared on numerous stages and podcasts. I’m a member of Forbes’ Coaches Council, A one of Creative Click’s Top Women in Business (2019) and Influence Digest Media’s Top 15 Coaches in Tampa (2022). It’s been a wild ride, filled with ups and downs, but seeing the impact I've made on my clients’ lives makes every moment, every dollar, and every ounce of effort absolutely worthwhile. THE NUTS AND BOLTS: All coaching sessions are with ME (via Zoom). I do not delegate you to "my team". Because of this and the obvious limitations on how much time is available each day, I cannot accept everyone into my program and I cannot offer refunds. The fees associated with my services, while not cheap, are fully aligned with those charged by highly experienced Premier Level Coaches offering Top Tier Coaching Programs.   If you are not sure that this is the right time for you to invest in yourself or to break through the blind spots and impasses that have frustrated you, if you still think that through trial and error, you might find a way, if your partner is not ready to support you on this opportunity, I totally respect that. Please understand that in that case, my program probably is not an ideal fit for you at this time. On the other hand, if you are exhausted by “coping “mechanisms” and have tried the lower investment/ “Do It Yourself” fixes to no avail, if you are committed to making this the year that you finally take action toward making your hopes and dreams come true, read on… And if you’re someone who already knows that you are ready to invest in your maximizing your potential and achieving your destiny, get excited… Because this is exactly the place where some of my biggest success stories began their journey... right here... quite possibly feeling some of the same blend of cautious optimism and (even) skepticism as you…  MY PROCESS: My EPIC YOU formula begins with a foundation drawn from some of the most high impact strategies from neuro science, top business mentors and "inner game masters" ranging from Tony Robbins to Esther Hicks, this process is much more than simply upgrading your resumé and interview skills (although I help you with those too). From there, we move into creating tangible plans, strategies and new skills to help you expedite momentum and excel in all aspects of your life. These skills can range from interview skills, resumés and LinkedIn to processes that allow you create your own Personal Empowerment System™ for daily habits. For others, the outer game skills focus on business growth strategies, side hustle development even personal brand and speaking training. Yes, this process definitely teaches you the "how" (based on the "how" that is right for you). Whether your focus is on a promotion, a new job, a side hustle, a passion or a completely new YOU, my programs are designed to help you uncover and unleash the most EPIC expression of YOU! If you are ready to finally makeover your life — whether it’s personally, professionally or both — and make these forward strides on your terms, it is time to take action. If you have debating whether you are ready, I would emphatically say this: Your “Some Day” has arrived and you do NOT have to do this alone. This can be your year to take ownership of your future by learning to obliterate the behaviors that stand between you and your success while transforming your dreams into your destiny with the unshakable confidence, purpose and passion that you have always deserved. You cannot miss the boat because you ARE the boat — but you do have to captain it. So let’s go make some waves. Join us today and let’s start designing YOUR epic destiny!

I did a single session with Meridith to go over interview techniques and skills, and chose a single session just to get a feel for coaching and where it fits in my life. I am so happy I did. She gave me great talking points and helped me come up with genuine answers to those hard and uncomfortable interview questions. I was very happy for all the help!

This has been one of those experiences that changes everything! I’ve just had a handful of session so far, but I can already tell that Im feeling stronger and extremely encouraged! Motivation is up! Energy is up! Confidence is up! And best of all, my daily joy and thankfulness is changing the way I see my successes. My husband and kids are also very excited to see this version of me. I have been a stay at home mom for 14+ years and have always carried with me some big personal dreams! Meridith is helping me cut a new path to finally making those dreams a reality! I’m learning the tools and rediscovering my passions that will take me into the next stage of life. I did a lot of research on available coaching, therapy, etc … and I’m pleased to say, the 5 star reviews are true! Meridith is extremely talented and has a special gift of helping others see the value in themselves. With practical solutions and thought provoking discussions, she is truly helping me turn my fears into determination! I will be forever thankful for this experience! Meridith is a true gem!

I Highly reccomend Meridith, she did interview coaching for my hubby at an executive level and opened his mind to a new way to interview at that level! She was so easy to get in contact with, always checking in to see how things went and very easy to work with! We would work with her again for sure!
Confidence/Communication /Career Path Excellence's reply
Ayana and hubby... what a dream team you are!! LOVED seeing you ("hubby") dive in and adjust so that you could BOLDLY step forward at this new level! It is evident that you are just at the beginning of your chapter of EPIC influence, impact and income... Embrace your full potential, keep focusing forward and blow past the belief that your skies has ANY limit! LOVED working with you both and what a fantastic team you make! xoxo Meridith

I hired Meridith to work with my 18yr old daughter who was in her first semester of college and a little hesitant about career path. Meridith helped provide her the extra confidence she needed to get herself pointed in the right direction. Meridith helped her set short and long-term goals to get her on a good path to be successful. After just 4 sessions I noticed a huge improvement in her confidence level, she is more focused, driven and determined. Was absolutely worth every penny we spent. We plan on continuing coaching check-ins sessions to aid in the support of her goals and what she would like to achieve. You are never too young or old to have a life coach!! Meridith is top notch!
Confidence/Communication /Career Path Excellence's reply
Deb, thank you so much! Your daughter was absolutely a delight to work with and it's so true that with some clarity, direction and a bit of positive nurturing it's possible (even at 18 years old) to go from feeling a bit overwhelmed and insecure to feeling ready to create a life that you love -- and have a whole lot of fun in the process. I'm excited to continue working with you all! Looking forward to watching her thrive in the years (and decades) ahead!
