“Melna helped me uncover the challenges I faced in taking that next big step. She played a crucial role in pushing me beyond my comfort zone, encouraging my growth, and helping me understand the significance and impact of embracing new opportunities..” -JEFFERY
Transitioning from peer to a manager is tough. You are discovering pretty quickly that the dream role you signed on for entails a lot more than you ever could have imagined. You learn your time is not your own, and as a matter of fact, you might need to revamp your time management and other leadership skills. The fear of screwing up in your new role is real!
You feel like an impostor, despite years of training and preparation;
You’re struggling to gain the respect of your inherited team, some of whom used to be your peers;
You question your every decision, overwhelmed by self-doubt;
You’re letting your inner critic run amok while drowning in negative self-talk;
You see big chunks of your time being eaten up by someone else’s meetings, somebody else’s priorities.
I know because I was once that new leader – wanting to feel competent as a new manager, but instead feeling like an imposter, in over my head. I’d spent more than a decade training, taking classes and preparing for the role of leadership. And that first year as a new manager was the most exciting, the most demoralizing, and the most confusing time in my career. Let me tell you that, at this point, what you do or don’t do matters! Curiousity, hard work, great attitude, and a willingness to learn is what got you here. Let it be the reason you keep going.
Is the story of your leadership journey unfolding a little differently? Hmmm.

NICE TO MEET YOU
Hi, I'm Melna!
Your Leadership Resource and Executive Coach
My first year as a new manager was the most exciting, the most demoralizing, and the most confusing time in my career. Although I knew nothing about the concept of a professional coach then, I later recognized how much easier it would have been if there had been someone available to offer advice, or act as a crucial sounding board when needed. I’ve spent over 25 years in leadership roles, both in the Military and within multiple Federal Government agencies. Through my experiences with both, I developed a desire to help those who find themselves in places they never expected to be, with responsibilities they haven’t the skills to achieve – new leaders, new managers and supervisors. At this point, I commit to helping you to find focus, clarity, confidence, motivation, and the inspiration needed to reach the vision you’ve designed for your career and future. All that’s left for you is to take action.
