“Victory and Victim both start out the same; it’s up to you how it ends.”
       Melissa Houston

Melissa has a very thorough understanding of what is required to implement and run a successful and compliant Background Screening program. In addition she has a very strong set of customer skills that add value to her role.

Melissa is one of the hardest working people I know. She is intelligent, resourceful, kind, and helpful. Her skills reach far and wide and she is a very fast learner. She would be a great asset to any employer or client.

I was fortunate to have a conversation with Melissa while I was in the middle of a job transition. Her coaching gave me the guidance and confidence I needed to move forward with intention and clarity. If you are looking for someone good, move on because Melissa is GREAT!!! and with her help you can be too. I will be purchasing coaching sessions for birthday gifts from now on for my friends and teammates. Thanks Melissa!

Worked with Melissa on a COVID project. She was always reliable, ready to take on any work needed, and very professional. Excellent to work with and has outstanding communication and interpersonal skills.

Melissa Houston is a gifted and inspiring career coach. She's engaging and full of energy, and for many job seekers, this is the ticket! ?

I met Melissa when I was beginning to explore new career options in the wake/midst of a few extremely challenging years in academia, which were complicated by the COVID 19 pandemic. Things didn't seem to be resolving quickly enough.

Melissa was quick! She noticed me in a comments thread on #transitioningteachers, and she reached out. Her warm and generous offer to video chat with me, a lovely professional courtesy, came as a relief.

I had been spinning, and my chat with Melissa proved to be reassuring. She not only reoriented me to value my range of skills, but she encouraged me to consider that I have *many* skills. After some brief conversation during which we both shared a "big picture" view of our acccomplishments, passions, work histories, and career aspirations, Melissa felt confident in asserting that I need not go for the seemingly obvious jobs many teachers are currently taking on. Instead, she explained, I might more enthusiastically go for my dream job. ??????

Melissa has been a powerful force in rebuilding my career confidence. She brings her whole, authentic self to the work of coaching, and she actively guides many to feel more empowered and informed as they move forward. I recommend her coaching services enthusiastically!!

Melissa is a stand-out professional with an innate talent for coaching. Melissa is intuitive, kind, caring, professional and above all else - committed. Melissa's style is unique and refreshing. Her no-nonsense approach is my favourite.

Melissa Houston is a one-of-a-kind talent! She is exceptionally gifted at listening and reviewing your needs, goals and resources and assisting you with devising a plan for success. She is also up to date with all the latest trends and career facts, and she knows how to bring things together! I enjoy the fact that she can get me focused and intentional and that is a true aid. I know she is creative and brilliant, a true genius savant, but Melissa is also very caring and passionate about serving others and helping them live their best lives. Melissa Houston is the talk of the town, state and country, and she is the leader you need to put you on top!

When I hear Melissa Houston, I automatically think of these two important words: Informational and passionate. I have been in a couple sessions with her, and I have come out of them with mind explosion (in a good way of course)! She knows what she’s doing and she does it with great passion. You will not regret having great conversations with Melissa…she guides you with the utmost care, and pulls the confidence out in you that has always been there!

In the midst of frustration during a full-time job hunt, I turned to Melissa’s services to help me align my goals with the hunt and to ensure I was continually creating content and networking only in ways that directly spoke to those goals.

This helped me laser focus my job search, find motivation and momentum where I had lost it, and to start believing in myself again!!

I can’t recommend Melissa enough!! Spend just 30 minutes in her space and you’ll see what I mean!!

Melissa is immensely in coaching! She always gives more than expected and makes you see things in a different light. Stepping outside your box and challenging yourself. Not to mention she and I laughed through this whole process. She helped me figure out what path I want to take and that itself was a challenge! Thank you Melissa for all you’ve done for me! I’m grateful I get to call you friend, too!

Melissa is very thorough and professional in all she does. She will go the extra aor collaboration.

I worked with Melissa to stand-up a COVID response hotline in the early days of the pandemic. She was a tireless supervisor who brought great ideas to the table to improve our efficiency and training. As a supervisor, Melissa took the time to engage with agents, work with them one-on-one, and acted as a star role model. I've always been impressed with her ability to commit 100%, problem-solve, and tackle the unknown.
Would highly recommend!
