Hello, I'm Mel Forsythe,

 

​For more than 25 years I've been guiding leaders through change at work by giving them the time, language and tools to understand what motivates them; the environments that support them and how to articulate and leverage the intricate symphony of skills, experience and knowledge that represents their unique contribution both at work and within society.

 

While much of my work during this time, focused on providing career coaching and career transition support for senior and key executives from ASX 200 companies, I now collaborate with a complimentary group of specialist to  support a broader range of clients navigating a range of life and career transitions and challenges. 

​​

While utilising traditional career, life and wellness coaching frameworks, models and assessments, I also bring my knowledge of the self-mastery philosophies and science-based natural therapies for those who are interested in leveraging alternative modalities to build resilience to change through improved mental, emotional and physical wellbeing.​
