"Melinda has the academic credentials, the practical experience with client organizations, and the industry awards that underscore her extensive knowledge in the psychology of influence and persuasion. In short, she understands how to help business leaders use information to make a big decision and deliver a high-impact message. As I have observed her during the past three years, when she delivers a message herself, she does so with considerable effectiveness--whether counsulting one on one or keynoting."

“Friends were shocked at how quickly I landed a job in this economy. They didn't know I had a secret weapon – inPSYCHS! Melinda not only helped edit and design my resume, but also worked with me on my positioning, and prepared me for interviews. Since I was in New York, we did mock interviews via Skype. After my inPSYCHS training, all it took was one real interview to land a nice engagement with a PR agency. One interview. One job! That's impressive by any standard! I'd highly recommend Melinda for help with, frankly, just about anything, as her knowledge and expertise are vast."
– Sylvia Martinez, Public Relations Specialist

We were looking for more than just a “feel good” workshop, and this one resulted in the tangible benefits we were after.

Another great benefit is that the program continues to help us work better internally on a daily basis.”
- Sarah C. Nelson, Sr. Director of Policy & Strategy

I have had much more and better responses from major donors due to your inPSYCHS training. It has also helped in my voice mails and phone conversations. Now I have a better understanding on how to match my communications to the donor's style. This helped me develop better relationships with them.
I honestly believe that the value will be seen in a boost of donations and support. Thanks for this great workshop!!!”

“Meeting Melinda was life-changing . . . it has changed the way I listen, speak and engage people in my life! I first heard Melinda speak at an international conference. Her persuasive psychology workshop blew me and everyone else in the room away. That’s why I chose her to be the featured speaker at an event I organized for women executives in New York. Once again, she was awesome! There were more than 100 successful business women in the room and she engaged every one of them. It was a magical evening and Melinda was key to the success of the event.”
