When I first met Melissa Overton, she was teaching ACLS and PALS. I had taken these courses many times before, always feeling a bit anxious about whether I would pass. However, Melissa’s approach was a game-changer. She broke the information down into bite-sized, palatable pieces, making it easy to understand and remember. I felt confident and knew I would pass the test. Her teaching was so impressive that I asked her to dinner. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Melissa speak at numerous events. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what sets her apart is her dynamic presence. We all know someone who is knowledgeable but lacks the ability to engage an audience. Melissa combines both qualities, making her absolutely amazing at her craft.

I have had the pleasure of partnering with Melissa to support safety and leadership training for hundreds of employees from various backgrounds. After each session, the feedback was always exemplary. She brings a level of expertise and energy to the classroom that genuinely engages attendees and leaves them with actionable items that they can immediately apply to their work.

I have learned an incredible wealth of knowledge from Melissa that can be immediately applied to every type of relationship in my life. I can truly say I understand people better and can hone my interactions to create more harmony and productivity in my day-to-day interactions thanks to her course. This is one of the most valuable trainings available and I encourage anyone looking to create more harmony in the work  place and in their lives to take advantage of everything Melissa has to offer!

I am fortunate to have experienced Melissa’s leadership and coaching skills firsthand as a participant in the Leadership Johnston 2023 program. She is an energetic, entertaining, motivating, and captivating instructor. Most employees dread day-long training sessions, but she makes it fun and empowering.
