#131 - Melissa Ford: Living Service, Staying the Path, and the Long Game of Learning
Melissa Ford is a Master Business and Life Coach who helps people grow their leadership, impact, income, and joy. Her clients range from highly committed coaches and entrepreneurs to executives and career changers. Her approach spans both the practical and the spiritual. Melissa invites clients to slow down and question the stories that feel real—to get honest about what’s actually true, where they are (or aren’t) taking full responsibility for their experience, and what unconscious patterns are creating their reality and driving their behavior. This is where real change begins. With more than 20 years of coaching experience, her way of working has been shaped not only by her clients, but also by years of being deeply coached herself. She knows firsthand the power of this work and the unexpected and extraordinary results it makes possible. Currently, Melissa co-leads with Coach Levina Li, The Service & Leadership Game, which is a program for coaches who are ready to strengthen their leadership and client enrollment to create thriving businesses. —-------------- Interested in joining the Search For Meaning Community?
