Melissa employs Core Energy Coaching, a methodology focused on getting to the root (or “core”) of an individual’s challenges by identifying and shifting inner thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that block a success. Melissa says: “From this place, they can reduce stress, sustainably connect with their purpose and passion, and experience more fulfilment in all areas of their lives – both personally & professionally. As a result of my background, life experience and divine guidance, I am in the position today where I am partnering with individuals in various ways to help them increase their self-awareness, make changes to who they are being and living life, as well as have an impact on their careers, relationships, and clients.”Connect with Melissa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meljvr/Connect with us here: Website:https://www.thecoachingcatalysts.comWork with us:We are celebrating International Coaching Week from May 12th and hosting a series of free workshops - sign up here to join us: https://bit.ly/supervisionworkshops Find out more about our supervision service here: http://bit.ly/coaching-collectiveFor ICF mentoring see here: https://bit.ly/catalystsmentorcoaching To book a call: https://tidycal.com/coachingcatalysts/explorationcallFREE Supervision Experience for Coaches: Listening Partnerships, register here: https://bit.ly/supervisionexperienceSocial Media: https://www.facebook.com/thecoachingcatalystshttps://www.instagram.com/thecoachingcatalysts_ https://www.linkedin.com/company/thecoachingcatalystsSarah: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahbramallcoaching/Rebecca: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielrebecca/Produced by winteraudio.co.uk
