This is my second time working with Heather. The first time we met I had just started my recruitment business, PKR, and she gave me a goal that seemed wild but with her help and guidance, I crushed it.

Kelly Robinson
CEO & Founder
Melanie & her team were nothing short of extraordinary. She took the time to get to know me, my brand, vision and voice. She expressed genuine care and interest in my business and what I was trying to accomplish which really meant a lot to me. It's very vulnerable to "let someone in" on your business - especially when you're new - but she put me immediately at ease and earned my trust. I could not recommend Melanie enough as she helped me so much. 10/10 recommend - very grateful for Melanie!

Rebecca Fitzsimmons
Founder
I had an incredibly valuable session with Melanie. Everything moves so fast with all the trends and what works and she has her finger on the pulse of all of it. She was warm, knowledgable , and gave me concrete follow up action items. It was a great investment! She came recommended to me and I will recommend her to my clients.

Whitney Otto
Executive Coach and Core Guide Facilitator
Every interaction with Melanie and her company is extremely informative and has helped me progress with establishing my personal brand. I have worked with Melanie 1:1 and I am a member of our course. Her approach is authentic and stems from her own personal success, so the guidance she provides is not only relatable but actionable. With just one meeting, I was able to make transformational updates to my LinkedIN/personal brand. I am excited to keep learning from Melanie and the Borden Group!

Online Educator, Coach & Consultant
I joined Melanie's Human to Brand Community + Course a few months ago. I wanted strategies on how to navigate LinkedIn and this experience has delivered! I'm no longer overwhelmed or reluctant to post. I'm enjoying being on the platform (which is something I had hoped for). The course modules are easy to follow and the feedback I've received on my profile and stories have been so valuable. I've felt supported and inspired. My engagement and impressions have increased dramatically! Thank you!

Amanda Hennessey, MFA
Founder, Public Speaking Coach and Workshop Facilitator
Melanie is an outstanding human being! I'm in the Human to Brand community almost every day, and I love to engage with others, re-visit the courses (amazing!), and read the resources her team shares regularly. I also had the opportunity to take a 15-minute call with Melanie 1:1, and I honestly believe I'd be still hiding in my shell if it weren't for Melanie's support, expert advice and cheering! Thank you!! I'll see you in the community!

Snežana Petrović
Story Architect
In the past couple of years, I found myself grappling with a loss of confidence as I navigated through various life and career transitions. It was a challenging period where self-doubt often overshadowed my ambitions and dreams. However, everything began to change when I joined the "Elevate Your Influence" program with Melanie Borden and Heather Monahan.
From the first day, I was encouraged to take messy, imperfect action—a concept that was both liberating and empowering. Where I once hesitated, now I am propelled forward by the support and insights from this incredible program. Melanie and Heather's guidance has been pivotal, providing me with the tools and confidence I needed to reclaim my voice and embrace my journey.
The transformation has been nothing short of a game-changer. Not only have I started to regain my confidence, but I've also begun to see substantial progress toward my personal and professional goals. Whether it's building a compelling LinkedIn presence or taking bold steps in public speaking, the positive momentum is undeniable.
This journey has taught me that progress doesn't have to be perfect—it just has to be genuine and continuous. I'm excited to keep moving forward, knowing I am supported every step of the way.

If it's been a while since you've updated your LinkedIn profile like it had been for me, I highly recommend working with Melanie. She's up to date on the latest trends, tips, and tools to help you refresh your profile. I gained valuable insights working with her and felt more confident in my LinkedIn presence afterward.

Ben Gilgoff
Sr. Director, Market Insights
Melanie and her team were very professional, and took the time to understand what I do, and how I would deliver messages. They then took that knowledge and expanded on it giving me a larger voice. Would highly recommend her and her team.

Matt Crinklaw
Senior Vice President
I like working with Melanie because she brings a straightforward approach to marketing. - You need more sales. - To get that, you need more people coming to you (inbound prospects). Melanie show you how to do this on LinkedIn. AND...if your stuck somewhere in the process, like not knowing your brand message or who your perfect client is, she'll help you figure it out. Melanie Borden is a walking, talking lead generation cheat sheet for LinkedIn. Want to get more sales fast? Talk to Melanie

Melanie is very resourceful. Her course is full of great and useful information which is well organized and accessible. During our live meetings she is very knowledgeable, helpful and well organized. She leads the call smoothly and is very upbeat and kind. She also has a great sense of humor and is really fun to work with.

These two rockstars, Melanie Borden and Heather Monahan, just led us through the most incredible entrepreneur bootcamp! The energy was electric, the learning was impactful, and the support was unmatched. If you're a female founder looking to uplevel your skills in a fun and safe environment, I can't recommend this experience enough!

Colleen Pimentel
Founder
This boot camp was the kick in the butt I did not even realize I needed! I love it!
The group discussion format is great. I love learning from others so this was perfect for me. Plus, I get so inspired by other women.
Melanie and Heather were fabulous at holding us all accountable. I have done so many things since I started the boot camp that I either never believed I could do or had been procrastinating doing because I was too scared.
Without this boot camp, I would never have realized that I had become too comfortable. Melanie and Heather challenged me in ways that I desperately needed.
Thank you to Melanie, Heather and all of the women in the group who helped me so much and truly have given me a renewed sense of what I am capable of being.
