In this episode, Julie interviews Melissa McDow, a career coach for women in transition.

As a coach, Melissa focuses on helping people reach their full potential in their personal and professional development by helping them to clearly understand their goals so they can achieve them. During her career, she worked for several different organizations where she focused on sales, customer service, training, leadership development and coaching in both non-insurance and insurance industries. Her entrepreneurial spirit allowed her to start her own insurance agency in 2005, where she was able to apply the skills she learned in “corporate”. The knowledge she gained helped her be better at understanding all aspects of business and the perspective of the customer. Now, her primary focus is on guiding women who are in their early and mid-career stages to be their BEST SELF.

During her spare time, she loves to travel with her husband and spend time with her family and friends. She also enjoys giving back to her community in a variety of ways. She has been happily married to Joe for 15 years AND proud to be a Jersey girl.
