Wouldn’t it be great if there was PRE-executive coaching?
Like, the kind of support top executives get: coaching, career mapping, skill refinement, access to industry leaders & mentors, a community of peers to compare notes with, get feedback from, find support among…
… without the high-end, top dollar, hourly rates that only the c-suite affords.

What if you could learn to – and afford to – stand out earlier, develop sooner, invest in yourself more effectively?
What if there was a safe place to build your confidence, leadership presence and skills before you went for that dream position? What if you could actively prepare to get, and excel once you get, the next promotion? What if there was a way to work – right now -- on becoming the most authentic, inclusive, inspirational leader you have the potential to be?

Your (pre-executive) Executive Coach, Melissa Marcelissan
Over 20+ years in corporate finance and insurance I’ve seen the impact coaching can have on confidence, capability and success. I believe every leader should have access to this transformational experience – future leaders included.
In 2021, I launched Vision Leadership CG to help corporate leaders unlock the power of their diverse teams. I introduced Lead Up! for aspiring leaders to provide support as they rise to the leadership challenges that are part of a fulfilling career.
I’m a graduate of the Ivey School of Business’ Executive MBA program, a Fascinate Certified Advisor, and Character Based Leadership Practitioner.
