The Story Behind Becoming Bold

With a background in Human Resources, Talent Development, and Manufacturing, Melissa spent decades inside the systems that shape team dynamics, leadership effectiveness, and workplace culture—especially in high-pressure, fast-moving industries.

Now, as the founder, life coach & leadership/team workshop facilitator of Becoming Bold, LLC in Ozaukee County, Wisconsin, she helps individuals and organizations confront the real issues holding them back—so they can lead with clarity, communicate with confidence, and build cultures that actually work. Melissa is available locally, virtually, and willing to travel anywhere.

One of Becoming Bold‘s core specialties is improving team effectiveness. Through facilitated workshops, we guide teams to get everything out on the table—the unspoken tensions, the frustrating patterns, the misalignments—and work through them openly. We then prioritize the real needs, assign ownership, and set clear deadlines so that every team member has skin in the game. This isn’t just about having a good meeting—it’s about creating real traction and building layers of accountability that stick.

This work empowers leaders and teams to:
• Strengthen communication and emotional intelligence
• Navigate conflict and hard conversations with courage
• Develop practical solutions with the team, not for them
• Replace workplace drama with direction, ownership, and follow-through

Whether you’re a leader rebuilding trust, a team stuck in misalignment, or an organization ready to elevate performance— we help turn insight into action, and action into impact.

Let’s connect if you’re ready to build a team culture that performs, communicates, and leads boldly.

Our Values

• Empowerment: We believe in the power of self-discovery and the ability to shape one’s destiny.
• Authenticity: Embrace who you are without fear or judgment.
• Growth: Continuous self-improvement and learning are key to living an elevated, bold, life.

Empower. Embrace. Elevate.

-Manager, Manufacturing Company

“Melissa is an enthusiastic thinker with the ability to use successful coaching techniques for complex situations on the spot. When I was stumped or overwhelmed with a situation and I would go to Melissa for creative ideas, help on influencing others or just to re-energize and I’d come out of those conversations with better solutions. I also had the pleasure to have her cross train me or work together on team effectiveness training or development sessions, which were successful in helping our teams at the time work better together utilizing strengths and opportunities. Melissa is a natural at delivering on the spot or brainstorming unique approaches to enhance team effectiveness using stories and specific examples to influence others. She also appreciates knowledge sharing and is continually open to learning new skills.”

I would recommend Melissa without reservation”
