“My goal is to have clients experience a blend of recovery and business tools to create the foundation needed to maintain long term sobriety and life success.”
Melissa Killeen, MSOD, MPhil, is recovery coach that approaches coaching a person in recovery like a business executive coach would coach a CEO. Melissa has more than 25 years experience in personal recovery as well as 35 years as a small business owner and leader. She understands the life of a recovering entrepreneur or business person.
Recovery Coaching Philosophy
Her clients experience a blend of recovery and executive coaching tools. Every client wants to re-form the fruitful interpersonal relationships that are needed to maintain connections in recovery, with family and in business. She introduces clients to the tools required to build and maintain long term sobriety. The benefit is these tools also work at home and in the workplace. She helps them build strategies to improve their home life as well as optimize their businesses’ performance.
Melissa encourages clients to maintain critical relationships by communicating the ‘right’ messages. Through assessments she informs a client on how to deal with difficult people in a sober manner, she is certified Master Trainer of the LIFO® assessment survey. She integrates the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or Tapping) and Matrix Re-imprinting into her practice, bringing her clients a wide range of drug free recovery resources. She encourages new skills to develop intimacy. She opens multiple possibilities for spirituality. Melissa is an advocate of Bill W.’s quote ‘there are many roads to recovery’.
