In 2004, Melinda co-founded The Coaches Console, a pioneering software and business training company designed to eliminate the burdens and distractions that hold coaches back. What started as a vision scribbled on the back of a napkin became a multi-million-dollar business that has supported more than 100,000 coaches in building thriving, professional practices.

Over two decades of working with coaches behind the scenes and on the front lines, Melinda has seen it all—every kind of business model, every flavor of burnout, and every breakthrough that turns survival into sustainability. Her first book, The Confident Coach, offers the tools to launch your coaching business without the overwhelm. Her second, The Professional Coach, helps you step into your role as a serious entrepreneur. And now, in Sustainable Success, Melinda brings it all together, sharing the deeper mindset and self-leadership practices that allow high achievers to perform at their best—without sacrificing themselves in the process.

Melinda also hosts the podcast Just Between Coaches, where she candidly explores the real challenges coaches face—and how to overcome them with integrity and intention.

When she’s not writing, coaching, or designing transformational programs, Melinda and her husband Dave can be found skiing, traveling the world with their local ski and adventure club, enjoying concerts and music festivals, or cheering on their favorite football teams. Whether she’s on a mountain or mentoring a business owner, Whether she’s on a mountain or mentoring a business owner, Melinda is committed to living in alignment, expanding what’s possible, and embodying the kind of success that’s both sustainable and deeply fulfilling.
