Introduction: Choosing a life coach is a very important decision. It's your life after all! That's why I have a 15 minutes coaching consult with no fee. I want this to be a positive and productive experience for you. Then we talk about how to proceed. In addition to a coaching fee, there is also email and text support. Take the first step and let's talk and decide what the best approach is for you. While I have just started with Thumbtack, I have been coaching and speaking for well over 25 years. My feedback from clients indicates that I am easy to work with and while very focused make coaching a fun rewarding process. It's exciting to help people move forward in life and make progress in reaching goals. For Coaching: I am focused and results oriented, high integrity, supportive and professional. I work with both personal and business issues. My goal is to understand your expectations for a life coach and make sure I understand what goals you are moving toward. Please review my client list and my reviews for additional information. I have worked for over 25 years helping individuals obtain goals. Speaking: High energy, interactive and up to date content is a guarantee for speaking. Coaching and speaking are customized to fit each individual and group. It's important that it is a win/win. SPEAKING: Both nationally and internationally for small companies and organizations to fortune 500. See client partial list on website. I love helping people see their full potential. It's exciting to be able to support a team/group/or individual make decisions that will make life a bit easier. It is quite rewarding to see individuals make progress toward goals and enjoy a life that is rewarding and fulfilling. To affect the quality of the day, this is the highest of art. - Henry David Thoreau -

My agreement to contract with Maryellen began with a casual conversation during a visit with some friends where she shared her diverse background as a psychologist, motivational speaker and life coach. She assisted me in identifying for myself changes I needed to consider in my personal, business and spiritual life in order to enter into a new and satisfying phase of my life. As CEO of a development company, the coaching expanded to my business partners and staff. Maryellen helped the staff identify issues relative to their specific roles with annual coaching sessions at our office focused on goal setting for the staff and company. In order help facilitate my journey, Mel engaged my wife and I individually and together to assist with the "life changing transition" which we began developing together. I had no idea what a "Life Coach" really was. Was I in for a surprise! Engaging in this journey has helped me discover a great balance between church, spouse, family, career and just enjoying life more. Thanks, Dr. Mel! Jim P

We recently had Maryellen give a presentation to our group of customer service providers. She was engaging, interactive, informative, and professional. She has the ability to share life experiences that have the potential to enrich others lives. As a group, we definitely benefited after spending some time with this dynamic individual.

My experience with Maryellen as My life coach was amazing! I've been to several therapists and none of them were able to help me in the way Maryellen did. She gave me tools to use that were life changing. I have experienced social anxiety disorder, low self esteem and depression. With Maryellen's guidance I've overcome so much that held me back from being the person I always wanted to be. I will always be grateful and thankful that Maryellen came into my life. Linda

Dr. Mel is a blessing. She is someone who listens, analyzes and vocalizes in a manner that is easy to connect to so that you're able to hit the ground running in the correct direction. She has a huge heart and a great personality that leaves you feeling safe, cared for and appreciated. She knows how to bolster self esteem while giving you guidance on self improvements. She's able to express ideas in a way that helps you to connect, see and appreciate yourself and the world around you. I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone who wants to better themselves and brighten their future!!

Maryellen is my coach in both business and personal aspects of my life. Working with her has helped me to focus on what is really important in my business and personal life. Her advise on how to deal with people in stressful situations by controlling my emotions and acting in a professional manner has helped me tremendously. The DISC profile also helped me have a much better understanding of myself and the personality traits of others. She is a great sounding board, a knowledgeable coach and effective listener. Bryant P

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing depends on size of audience, distance to travel and amount of time for presentation. For coaching, it is by the individual session. Coaching is so important for individuals to realize their potential that I do my best to make coaching affordable for all.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is important that we know that we are a good match for services. Through a series of questions about the topic and company, this can be easily determined. If coaching, it is the same process. I offer a 15 minute session with no charge which will give you an opportunity to clarify what you expectations are from a coach and identify your desired goals for coaching.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a doctorate in education and counseling psychology and earned my CSP-certified speaking professional designation from the National Speakers Association. I was president of the Los Angeles Chapter. I had a private practice in Florida and have been working with clients for over 35 years with great success. I have been training and speaking on customer service, communication, change & balance for over 30 years both nationally and internationally.
