Move Through Uncertainty. Especially when the World makes you want to stand still.
As an award-winning foreign journalist for BBC News, I was often witness to the hardest days of someone’s life.
Now, as a Keynote Speaker, I share why that work made me an optimist and how the ‘accidental bravery’ of the people I’ve met can teach us all to see through the darkness and create the future we want.

As a speaker -
...Mel is a uniquely entertaining and engaging communicator, bringing a warm and playful energy to any environment she steps into.
Both emotionally and intellectually sharp, she’s able to tailor her sessions in-the-moment to whoever she has in the room, capturing imaginations, easing fears, and leaving her participants feeling lighter, clearer, and more confident to tackle whatever lies ahead.

As a coach -
Every session with Mel is uplifting and perspective-shifting. She brings compassion, creativity, deep presence, and humor to every interaction and has helped me to become clearer about my truest needs and desires, as well as how to live into them.

As a filmmaker -
Melanie Marshall is one of the most talented filmmakers I have ever worked with.
Melanie has a terrific eye for a great story, how to structure it, tell it. She has very clear and creative ideas and pursues them with passion and resolve. She also has a wonderful commitment to the quirky and humorous too.
As one of our best camera persons put it “she has that rare skill to have the entire film already worked out in her head."
