Let me know if this sounds familiar…

  • You want people to love working for you

  • You want to bring the best out of others and help them get things done (with quality!)

  • You are confident in your technical skills, but want to be seen as a leader and really stand out

  • You want something more than traditional training and HBR articles. You want simple and proven tools.

  • speaking up for yourself can be hard - you sometimes question your place

  • You feel alone sometimes and the idea of a community of other women sounds amazing

  • ongoing growth is important to you and you want to excel and be your best


You're not alone, and luckily, there is a simple solution.

Truth Talk

70% of employee engagement is connected to how effective you are as a manager.

But typical leadership development programs are lacking.

They are too high level and you know they aren't relevant to your specific role or team.

When you leave the training you think "that was pretty good" but then there isn't any application back on the job.

Which means, there isn't a change. It isn't effective.

On top of it, who do you go to when you're doubting yourself and don't feel prepared to lead? You don't want HR and your boss to know.

You need a safe space to develop and grow.

True leadership development will give you practical and relevant tools and resources you can use when you need them.

DRUMROLL PLEASE... And that's why I'm so excited to invite you to

The Stand Out Leader Incubator

Be a confident and higher paid leader in Pharma/Biotech without playing politics or overworking.

"The Leader Incubator has been AMAZING! Thank you! I definitely became more confident as a leader in my team."

- Jackie L.

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.

You get access to everything you need....

simple. time saving. development that works

Stop leading through trial and error, and become a strategic and confident people leader

Yes, It Really Works:

Stacy is more confident and proactive with her team

Just join. I love it. It's positive. It's a safe environment. It's digestible and easy to apply to your every day life.

Oh, my God. I'm so confident. I feel like there's less of a line between my personal and work now. I look forward to going every week. If you're going to show up and apply yourself, there's no way that you cannot get more out of it than you expect.

Kavitha became a more effective leader

...coaching concepts are practically applicable at any level of leadership.

Melissa’s Stand Out Leader Incubator is a perfect guide to be the leader you want. Her coaching concepts are practically applicable at any level of leadership and beneficial to the team and the organization. I enjoyed being a part of the incubator and strongly believe it is worth the investment.

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.

This *is* for you if:

You direct the work of others as their line manager OR in a cross-functional team OR you are working toward management.

You care about the development and engagement of your team and want to develop them while also bringing in company results

You want a proven and simple way to be an effective manager without reading a bunch of books or attending random courses

You doubt yourself sometimes and don't want your mindset or lack of confidence to hold you back with your team or in your career

The idea of having a personalized, safe and private space for you to grow into the best leader you can sounds amazing

This is *not* for you if...

You don't consider yourself a manager (directly or indirectly) and don't want to be

You care more about the title, money and power that comes with management than you do the people

You aren't in the Pharma or Biotech industry

You are looking for a quick fix and don't enjoy self-development

You don't want to be in a community of other women leaders in the industry

I know what it's like because I was there, 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. There is also a huge gap in connecting women in the industry. 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.


Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a people manager?

No. You do not have to be a people manager, you just have to be working toward being one or already directing the work of others in some way (directly or in a matrix).

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.

Can my work pay for this?

Yes. Your employer may pay for your investment as it directly impacts your results at work. Here is a letter you can use to make your request.
Note: Your investment in career development is often tax deductible also. Check with your accountant.
