Truth Talk
You know that being a great leader is important for your employees and for your career.
But the truth is, the typical leadership development programs are lacking. They aren't customized to you or practical. It's too little, too late.
There isn't a safe space for you practice, or share that you're doubting yourself or fear you will screw it up. (Who wants their boss to know that?!)
Typical programs are surface level and don't talk about the fact that you worry you'll sound dumb with other leaders.
But we know that people managers are critical.
You impact whether an employee works hard and delivers, or scrolls LinkedIn looking for a job. You are the strongest indicator in an employee's satisfaction with their job.
Let me know if this sounds familiar…
- You want your team to love working for you
- Development is important and you want to help your employees be their best
- You are confident in your technical skills, but want to improve as a leader and stand out as the best
- You try to keep up with books, podcasts, and HBR articles, but it's hard to keep up and apply it all
- You want to give critical feedback without feeling bad about it
- Advocating for yourself and your team can be challenging
- You would love a community of other women leaders in the industry who get it
You're not alone, and luckily, there is a simple solution.
"I am truly mind blown by my progress in just a few months!"
- Jenna B.
I know how frustrating this is because I was on the inside, too.
Hi, I'm Melissa Lawrence.
I am a former leader of Talent & Development for a large Pharma company and have 20 years of experience developing women in the industry.
I know the strengths and the gaps of the training that is available. The problem is that you aren't properly prepared to apply what you learn and to lead from a human perspective. It's time to step out of textbook and academia learning, and into development that works.
This is people mastery. So you can be the leader you want to be and propel your career forward.
This is where people managers become people leaders.
DRUMROLL PLEASE... And that's why I'm so excited to invite you to
The Stand Out Leader Incubator
This group coaching community is like nothing you've ever experienced before. Join a curated leadership team of other women like you in the industry who are becoming confident people leaders. This is your secret weapon. Development that works.
Enroll in july. The investment is $5000. Join the waitlist to get first access to join.

Yes, It Really Works:
Angela now shows up for herself and her team
Since working with Melissa, I've been promoted twice, and now have a job I love with a team I cherish.
Having a professional, unbiased, and fearless coach to guide me through my decision making and practice real life conversations with before they happened left me better prepared and confident to advocate for myself. Best money I ever spent on myself!
Tugba found her full potential... and her dream job
Thank you for helping me open the doors to my "Zone of Genius"
At the start, I was feeling ready for my next leadership role in the Healthcare Industry. However, I did not exactly know where to start. As soon as Melissa helped me align my goals with my values and passion, all the synchronicities worked together and that dream job found me like a magic. Working with Melissa changed my life!
Rachel overcame fear and doubt as a leader
This process was so worth it & I'd recommend Melissa without hesitation.
I had a lot of doubt and fear going into a new leadership role. Negative self talk was really a problem for me. The changes I experienced in coaching influenced the entire way that I work and the way that I interact with people, respond to emails, hold meetings, it bleeds into everything. This process was so worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to be a people manager?
This program is for those that are people managers or actively working toward becoming one.
How do you define manager/leader?
Most development programs separate managers from leaders. Not here. You can lead from any level. Managers direct the work of at least one person.
Will it work for me?
Yes. It is impossible to fail at this program. As long as you show up and apply what you learn, you will be successful. When you have a misstep, the coaching is there to help you. This is one of the ways this program is different from others.
When are the calls
Calls are three times a month on Tuesdays at 11:00am. The first call is August 8th. Replays are made available within 48 hours.
Is this tax deductible?
Yes. Confirm for your unique financial situation but generally career coaching and education is a tax deductible expense. Further, your employer may reimburse for you for your investment as it directly impacts your results at work.

This program is the only leadership development community for the industry that...
is exclusive for women
This program is unique not only because of the material you will learn but because of who is learning with you.
You are surrounded by other women in Pharma/Biotech who are working with the same challenges as you. You will build a network and community that can last you for the rest of your career.
Imagine being in a space where you can bring your mess, your doubt, and your knowledge of what works. Where you can discuss real challenges women face. You will be a part of something that is bigger than your title.
And is designed to support your continued growth as a leader
BEING the leader you want to be is more than taking a few courses or reading a book. To change how you think about your self and learn and apply the skills needed, you need more than a quickie ;).
This is why The Stand Out Leader was created. There are new workshops or challenges every month. You will decide on one action to implement and you will take action and evaluate until you master it. This is the only leadership development program you need.
One more thing
You want to join but you just have a quick question or two. Schedule a quick call with Melissa to ask any outstanding questions you have about the program.
