Got a ?

I support professionals who are dealing with tough things at work—conflict, restructures, accusations, uncertainty. I don’t show up as your lawyer or your rep. Rather, I work behind the scenes to help you steady yourself, understand your options, and respond with dignity and strength.

Need help urgently?

If your HR person or manager at work has given you 24-48 hours to respond to a meeting invite or piece of information, do this first!

HR meeting invitations are issued each week. You’re not alone.
YOU’RE FACING A TOUGH TIME AT WORK

Maybe it’s unfair. Maybe it’s unexpected. Maybe it’s both.

Whether you’re facing a restructure, a complaint, any kind of work issue, one thing is for sure; there’s been a breakdown of trust. You might feel stressed out, confused, overwhelmed.

In this scenario, you need two things:

  • Clarity about what should happen in the process.
  • Emotional support to get you through this in one piece.
HERE’S YOUR SOLUTION

The ‘Off Record’ Guidance Package

I’ve built this package to help people like you get clear about what’s happening, what your options are, and how to stay upright and resilient while you go through this process. It’s a simple 3-step package that can kick off as soon as possible (depending on availability), so you can immediately know what to do next.

Step 1: 90-Minute Download

A 90-minute call where you tell me everything that’s happening and how you’re feeling. Don’t hold back.

Step 2: Document Review

Within 24 hours of the first call, you send through all documents relating to the process. I review them to get a full understanding.

Step 3: 30-Minute Strategy Session

For 30 minutes solid, we sit down and strategise. I lay out a clear framework for what to expect, and guide you on next steps.

THIS DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THE END OF THE WORLD

Hi, I’m Mel. For 30+ years I’ve been running processes just like the one you’re going through. Now, I’m on your side.

I use to run HR processes in a corporate setting. Now, I use that knowledge to help people like you one-on-one, empowering you to advocate for yourself at work (and in life).

I’m here to help you understand the process you’re about to go through, know what to say (and what not to), and act on how you feel about your own career.

Hear from some of the people I’ve helped get through tough times at work.

  • I contacted Mel for guidance through what seemed to be a rough patch at work. I was shocked at the idea of what was happening. Mel gave me peace of mind, space for me to develop and grow again, and helped me get my health back.
