Deskside with Melissa
Welcome to Deskside with Melissa, the podcast for ambitious professionals ready to go from invisible to influential. I help executives, business owners, and community leaders master their story and mission to build their own stages.
Inside each episode, you’ll learn how to pitch yourself with confidence, build a powerful personal brand, and position yourself as a trusted thought leader, whether you’re advancing a corporate career, running a business, or doing both.
We cover practical pitch strategies, visibility frameworks, and real-world examples that help you get seen, heard, and taken seriously. You’ll also hear from leaders who’ve done the work and built influence by design, not by accident. If you’re tired of doing great work behind the scenes and ready to claim your voice, your expertise, and your seat at the table—this is where it starts.
Pull up a chair. Let’s build influence that opens doors and has you stepping on to bigger stages. 🎙️✨
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
