Book Melody to Speak at your Next Event

My18 years of private practice has taught me that nobody has figured out how to help people understand ourselves and why we react to each other the way we do.  People in my practice come to me when they have lost all hope of figuring it out for themselves. My parents didn’t have a clue how to relate with each other either, they were no models for me. I am happily married now, but I’ve been divorced twice. Luckily, I have figured out some important things about how and why we relate with others and ourselves the way we do.  And as a result, all 5 of my kids are happy and “well adjusted” and my marriage is thriving.

Audiences describe me as: energetic, fun, playful, effervescent, a trailblazer and creative.

Ethics: What is the Right Use of Power?

Keynote (30 - 45 minutes) CEU

Right Use of Power is one of the most crucial needs of our time and one of the greatest challenges we face in leadership and in personal development. We have the capacity for wisdom, skillfulness, and service in our use of power. Yet we have all been wounded by misuses and abuses of power by those in positions of trust, and we have also inevitably misused or under-used our power. In this address, Melody provides an honest look at how we all have misused or at least, misunderstood power in our lives and our work. With humour and vulnerability , Melody allows audiences an opportunity to change their relationship with power by understanding:

Have you ever found yourself locked into a power struggle with someone and felt yourself or them losing it? This workshop leads us to understand how these struggles happen- in both our personal and professional lives - and provides a way out.

The Right Use of Power: The heart of ethics

Workshop (1½ to 2 hours) CEU

Power is simply the ability to have an affect, or to have influence, but the right use of this influence is profound and complex. Right use of power in positions of trust, far from being an automatic result of good intentions, must be learned and practiced. Using proven experiential methods for learning, this program develops a deep understanding of power and how it relates to ourselves, and our professional relationships. This workshop provides an arsenal for avoiding complaints and grievances. Through practical exercises, participants:

Creating a Culture of Playful Connections

Workshop (1½ to 2 hours) CEU

Now that we are all grown up most of us think that play is reserved for children. Even if we are wise enough to understand that play is a good thing, most of us have no clue how to go about it. InterPlay teaches the language and ethic of play in its deepest and most powerful sense. Through a step-by-step process participants open themselves to discovering connections to themselves and to others. If your employees struggle with anxiety over presenting, InterPlay is a fun way to relax into being in front of others and develop the confidence to present. If your team is struggling to connect and find mutuality, InterPlay overcomes the boundaries to connection.
