Leadership Coach Melissa Bloom is innately curious, adventurous, and a keen observer and celebrator of the nuances of human individuality.
Born with an insatiable wanderlust, Melissa is energized by diversity – of people, cultures, perspectives, and ideas – and especially by finding innovative ways to synthesize these in the service of exceptional leadership and team development.
Melissa attributes her comfort with new people, new settings, and new challenges to two things: profound insight into team dynamics and group goal setting developed through years of competitive athletics; and a successful 20-year career in tech, during which the application of these insights brought her many of her most gratifying leadership experiences.
Melissa founded Full Bloom Coaching to focus her organic strengths and passions where she can make the greatest impact. Built on a three-pillared foundation, Melissa’s practice leverages her training in Coaching Psychology, Neuroscience, Positive Psychology, and Mindfulness, allowing her to successfully serve a wide variety of individuals, and to effectively address the unique range of needs within each. Through this highly customized and human-centered approach, Melissa expertly guides her clients to new professional heights with authenticity, approachability, empathy, and humor.
Melissa holds a Master's of Science in Positive Psychology & Coaching Psychology from The University of East London and a BA from The College of William and Mary. She is a Certified Brain-Based Coach from the NeuroLeadership Institute, is a Senior Practitioner with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), and an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with ICF (International Coaching Federation). Melissa has also completed certificates in Applied Neuroscience and Brain Health, Neuroscience Coaching, Psychological Safety, and is a Mindfulness Instructor.
