I am delighted to share our experience with Melanie Thorpe, who recently facilitated our company's Growth Strategy Workshop. Melanie's expertise and exceptional facilitation skills made the entire process both engaging and fruitful.
One of Melanie's most commendable qualities was her ability to tailor her approach seamlessly to our company's unique context. She took the time to understand our industry, challenges, and objectives, ensuring that the workshop was not a generic experience but a targeted and relevant one. This personalized touch made a significant impact on the overall effectiveness of the session, allowing us to address our specific needs and goals.
Melanie was also able to identify and adapt to everyone’s personality types and created an inclusive and dynamic environment where every team member felt heard and valued. This fostered a collaborative atmosphere that encouraged open communication, idea-sharing capitalized on the strengths of each team member which contributed greatly to the workshop's success.
In summary, Melanie's role as a facilitator surpassed our expectations, and her impact on our company's workshop was tangible. Her tailored approach, adept management of diverse personalities, and skill in drawing out ideas make her an invaluable asset to any organization seeking to enhance collaboration amongst their team.

I am eternally grateful for Melanie’s advice and support. The benefits were twofold. Not only did our discussions leave me feeling empowered and with confidence in my own abilities, she provided me with well informed advice as to how to present myself in interviews. With Melanie’s coaching, I felt prepared and knew that I was able to respond to interview questions in a manner that would present my skills and experience effectively. I left each interview knowing that I had performed of my best.
