Mel is a principal of Consulting-Coaching, Inc. and Change Your Life Coaching. He is an avid supporter of coaching as a means to achieve one's most precious goals in life. His own very positive experiences with coaching have led him to integrate coaching into his consulting practice.
Mel is an entrepreneur. He has founded and run a software company, an independent consulting (and coaching) practice, an Internet-based vacation rental company and an e-learning company.
He has worked for consulting companies such as Booz-Allen & Hamilton, Andersen Consulting, and KPMG, in addition to working with Fortune 500 companies on topics ranging from business strategy to the strategic deployment of technology. As an independent consultant and coach, he has assisted companies in moving from an idea to cash-flow-positive operations. He has coached business executives through difficult times and laughed with them in the great moments.
Philosophically, Mel believes in the process of coaching. People can achieve their dreams: lose weight and keep it off, build a life-long relationship with the right significant other, overcome major obstacles to achieve personal success, or conquer a debilitating addiction. All things are achievable in life, particularly with the help of a great coach.
Mel holds a BA in Physical Sciences from Harvard University and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.
