What Our Clients Say About Us

“People say change is hard. It is, but it is much more achievable when you have Melva Holt as your coach and mentor to guide you through the process. Melva has been an inspiration for my development, which has had such a positive impact on me as well as my organization. I learned a lot from her on dealing with leadership challenges, building a high-performing team, providing a vision to guide and unify the team, as well as self-development and self-awareness. Once Melva helped me identify areas to work on, she was tireless in making sure those new habits stuck.”

– Jan Sykes, Director of Shared Services

“PAISE Leadership provided a deeper understanding for my associates on how to engage and provide feedback to their teams. Through the training, they gained more confidence to leverage the tools provided on how to give not only positive but constructive feedback that will drive results. I highly recommend the “Giving Feedback that Drives Results” training.”

Vice President of Chewy Sales, Leading National Pet Food Retailer

“After working with PAISE Leadership, our leader is not the same. She is a totally different person – more confident and contributing in a differential way. We are calling this coaching engagement a huge success!”

CHRO, Leading Manufacturing Company

“My coach helped me discover my natural “super power” which gave me the confidence to pursue a new role. I was promoted into a Director role during my coaching engagement. My coaching engagement taught me to develop sustainable goals that would set me up for success after my coaching engagement ended. I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an experienced, poised, results oriented coach. I enjoyed my time working my coach as I looked forward to each and every call.”

Tonya DaRocha, Director of HR

“I highly recommend Melva and PAISE Leadership if you are looking for high-quality leadership development experiences. Having worked alongside Melva previously, I was excited to partner with her and her team for a few development opportunities within my organization, specifically for early career managers during my time as CHRO for Sara Lee Frozen Bakery. The PAISE Leadership program, The First-Time Manager Intensive®️, helped my organization provide critical leadership development to some of our highest potential managers and they designed a custom program for front-line supervisors focused on delivering feedback and resolving conflict. In each case, our employees walked away from the programs demonstrating a higher level of leadership with their direct reports – deeper connection with their employees all while leaning confidently into necessary yet uncomfortable conversations.”

Matt Beliveau, CHRO

“When taking on a new role, I wanted to help the team navigate the shift quickly and effectively. I was able to gain 4 hrs/week in efficiency (or save 4 hours, either works for me) using conflict resolution techniques that increased the team’s collaboration and trust, ultimately improving our ability to navigate the organization. Highly recommend The First-Time Manager Intensive Program–great investment!”

Heavenly Johnson, Marketing Executive
