Hi, I’m Melanie A. Sears, Executive Coach and Founder of Soul of Business. I work with CEOs and leadership teams to address the real challenges of scaling—misalignment, resistance to change, leadership blind spots, and team burnout.
With over 30 years of cross-functional business experience, I guide organizations through personalized leadership journeys that integrate 360 assessments, executive coaching, and team development strategies—all embedded in the day-to-day rhythm of work.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting small and mid-sized companies as well as multinationals—helping them build stronger leadership pipelines, increase engagement, and scale with clarity and purpose.
I’m based in sunny Costa Mesa, just outside Los Angeles, where I live with my surfing husband and our COVID puppy, Happy. I’m passionate about helping leaders create thriving, future-fit organizations—where people and performance grow together.
Warmly,
Melanie
