Lead with clarity.
Communicate with confidence. Chart
a new path forward.

I believe that we are ALL leaders.

Whether we preside over organizations, teams, families, or our own precious lives, our success and happiness depend on our ability to make decisions from a place of integrity, courage, and strength.

“Who we are is how we lead.”
- Brene Brown

We’re all doing the best we can with the tools we have. But even the best strategies fall short when deeper patterns go unexamined. If you’re someone who’s self-aware, always striving, always learning — and still finding yourself stuck in the same cycles — this is why. Real change begins when we examine the stories and beliefs that are shaping our reality and create space for something new.

If you’re ready to let go of what’s no longer serving you and chart a new path forward, I invite you to book a free 30-minute discovery call today.

You can’t build on shaky ground.

Traditional coaching often focuses on addressing symptoms. I do things differently. As a holistic coach, I help you get to the root of your challenges so we can rebuild from the inside out. Together, we create a new foundation that makes real, lasting change possible. Then, we put together an action plan. Because once you shift the belief system running the show, everything else becomes easier: finding your voice, managing your relationships, cultivating your peace, and leading from a place of confidence and clarity in all areas of your life.

Hello and welcome

I’m Melissa Lorin Treuman, a Communications Executive and a Certified Adult Chair® Coach. 

I help individuals identify and transform the beliefs and stories that are keeping them stuck so they can break free of old patterns, learn to communicate with clarity and confidence, and achieve growth and success in their personal and professional lives.

I work with clients experiencing a range of challenges in their personal and professional lives including:

Communication challenges: You struggle to clearly express what you need or feel, especially when the stakes are high.

Navigating Conflict: You avoid conflict to keep the peace, but it costs you. Issues go unresolved, tension builds, and your silence starts to feel like self-betrayal.

People-pleasing and boundaries: You’re the go-to person—reliable, responsive, and always willing—but it’s at the expense of your own needs.

Codependency: You often take responsibility for other people’s feelings and problems, to the detriment of your own well-being and your relationships.

Imposter syndrome: No matter how much you achieve, a part of you still feels inadequate, and you worry that eventually, someone will find out you're not as capable as you seem.

Managing teams: You struggle to build the trust and cohesion you’re aiming for. You try to lead with care and competence, but something’s not landing, despite your best efforts.

Organizational culture: You’re a leader who is doing your best to set a strong example, but the culture still feels marked by confusion, disconnection, and resentment, and you're unsure how to shift it.

Work With Me

60-minute one-on-one coaching sessions virtually via Zoom to anyone across the globe. 

  • Thanks again, Melissa. I always feel better and more hopeful and confident about blazing a path after speaking with you.

    Mary

  • I loved so much about our session....from how well Melissa listened and how she caringly guided me to pause and quickly grounded me, to her acute and thoughtful observations, questions and reflections and follow up. Can hardly wait to meet with her again. A session with Melissa is a blessing.

    Cristina

  • Melissa helped me to peel back the layers of my perfectionism and reveal to myself a part of me I never knew existed, a part of me that had been hiding for so long. She then guided me through ways to help heal this part of me and encouraged me to incorporate these exercises into my daily life!

    Autumn

  • Melissa, thank you for a wonderful session! You honored the language that I needed to speak and allowed my truth to come through without any judgment. You also shared truth with me and gave me those gentle nudges to help me move forward!
