"So," you might wonder as a massage school owner, director, or executive, "the one-on-one coaching services described on this web site don't seem like brain surgery - can't I do this type of strategic planning for my business on my own? " Great question - and maybe you can. But, if you already knew exactly where you wanted to go and how you wanted to get there you probably wouldn't be reading this web page.

If you're like most people, when you're making strategic changes in your business it helps to have an objective person to bounce things off of to get clear about what you need to do and how you want to do it. Melanie Rubin has worked with all types of business owners and has found this coaching process to be effective for all types of businesses.

The specific benefits and changes I took away from coaching with Melanie included clarifying what changes I wanted to do make immediately in my business. She also helped me clarify what I want to do creatively in the long-term future, and how to begin making this happen.

But aren't YOU the best expert in how to run YOUR own business?

Yes. Absolutely. Hands down with no question. My job is not to tell you what to do - it's to be a very clear mirror for you - to help you find your OWN answers for yourself. I do this by listening extremely carefully to everything you say, and asking you questions based on what I hear.

We were stuck. You helped us understand what was truly important to us, focused our thinking, and worked with us to create an effective strategy. The process is great!

Melanie listens with complete and total focus. She lets me know that she wants to hear what I'm really thinking and weeks later can repeat, verbatim, exactly what I said.

"But," you may be thinking, "is this going to help me make my business extremely financially successful?"

My goal is to help you get what you want - and if part of that is a business that's incredibly profitable, that's where our focus will be.

Melanie helped me reduce my stress level as a new business owner by identifying real and achievable goals for my practice. Now that I have a long-range view of where I want to go, I'm able to take small steps each day toward that vision.
