I created Melissa Janis Consulting because I have figured out a better way to help managers learn faster and accelerate their impact.

Leading people is personal and learning how to do it is too. Every manager comes to their role with a unique combination of mindset, skill set, team dynamics and business challenges.

In my career, I have helped thousands of leaders at all levels become a better version of themselves while leading various Learning and Organization Development functions at companies including McGraw Hill, Capital One, and Lloyds Banking Group.

With a master’s degree in Social & Organizational Psychology from Columbia University and seven mediation certificates from Columbia, Cornell and CUNY, I have also helped leaders and employees resolve their differences at work and at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

I specialize in helping managers create thriving, high-performing teams within small to midsize businesses. My personalized, consultative approach focuses on fostering engagement and driving measurable results, providing homegrown managers with the tools and strategies they need to make a difference for them, their teams, and your bottom line.
