What people are saying
“I depend on Melissa to shape my tech talks and coach me on their delivery, and I’ve also recruited her to coach speakers at conferences I organize. She works with scores of speakers for annual programming conferences around the country - if a speaker has a hardcore technical subject to explain, she can help them create a story around it and communicate their authentic passion.”
- A. Jesse Jiryu Davis, Staff Engineer at MongoDB, Inc., keynote speaker at PyTennessee and Plone Conference
“lt was fun and Melissa made me feel comfortable to be myself! She brought out the best in me. The positive and constructive feedback was helpful and provided in a supportive way.”
- PyGotham 2019 Speaker
"Melissa is very sensitive to the speaker goals and was able to help me focus on the things that will make the most impact on my talk."
- PyGotham 2018 Speaker
“Melissa not only provided a better perspective about the quality and level of my presentation but also talked about many small details that I couldn’t focus on when practicing the presentation myself.”
- PyGotham 2017 Speaker
‘I’ve been to several of Melissa’s presentations and workshops, and I always come away with simple, concrete ways I can improve my own public speaking. You will not be disappointed if you book a session with her!”
