Melanie
DewBerry-Jones is
the
Soul Coach.
Deeply soulful, she speaks to businesses and organizations on the
bottom line relevance and practical application of your Soul Purpose in business
and in life.
In her keynote, “Think Like an Indian: What Native
American Cosmology Can Teach You,” she shows how the tried and true
wisdom can revolutionize your work and personal relationships, increase your
profitability and align you with your highest values.
And, in another keynote to over three hundred coaches on the topic, “Seven
Sacred Words to Revolutionize Your Life,” Melanie taught her peers the
power of connection through language.
Motivational and inspirational, sure, but what Melanie really brings to your
event is an understanding of the power of purpose, connection and integrity. Her
refreshing laugh-while-you-learn style keeps people engaged and excited. The
bringer of truth, depth and expansiveness, Melanie leaves audiences with ways of
sustainability.
Shifting audiences from the trying model of changing behavior to the native
wisdom model of internal transformation for greater success, Melanie makes
spirituality relevant to current reality. That's her distinctive brand - making
meaning and relevance your currency for success.
But What
Are Her Credentials...
Melanie began speaking to audiences in 2004. Her audiences include
corporations, universities, conferences, and women’s organizations. Believing
that audiences integrate what they learn when they are included in the
conversation, Melanie always engages with her audience, creating moments of deep
laughter, fun learning and “aha” moments. Whether speaking to an audience of
600+ or in an intimate group setting, Melanie’s persona is such that she leaves
audiences feeling personally touched. Speaking thought provoking messages,
she is brilliant at what she does because it is who she is.
A veteran and twice certified coach, she has worked with hundreds of
entrepreneurs, CEO’s, CFO’s and sole proprietors. She received her
training and initial certification from the leading coaching school, The Coaches
Training Institute. She later became a lead trainer for CTI and taught courses
throughout North America and Canada. A pioneer in the emerging field of
coaching, she was one of the first to bring coaching to inmates in the federal
penitentiary and state prison systems.
As an entrepreneurial woman herself, Melanie co-founded choice
magazine, the first magazine about coaching. Her column, The Soul of Coaching,
received rave reviews from the readership. Through it, she mentored master
coaches in the integration of the right brain skills of intuition, innovation
and creativity in the coaching conversation.
Melanie received her master's degree from Dominican University's Asian
Economic Development and Political Risk. She lived and worked in Wuxi, China
teaching graduate students, “How to do Business in Latin America,” while
simultaneously working with the Chinese government on the pricing and selection
of goods for sale in Latin America.
