Turn your sensitivity into your leadership edge — and double your confidence at work in just 90 days.
Next cohort starts May 22nd
Work was all she talked about with her husband. Work was all she dreamed about at night. And work was all she thought about as soon as she woke up.
Sure, she had a long list of accomplishments as a Director of Analytics. But she wasn’t happy or proud of what she had achieved. It never felt like enough
A high-achiever who’s more attuned to their emotions, the world, and others’ behavior. Being part of the 20% who think and feel everything deeply doesn’t have to feel like a curse.
The premier 90-day group coaching program for Sensitive Strivers who want inner peace — and greater control in their careers.
Go from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, and lacking confidence…
Clients take our proprietary STRIVE Diagnostic™ before coaching begins and again at the end of 90 days. They report …
I’ve helped thousands of professionals at the world’s most successful Fortune 500 companies get out of their own way. Named one of Business Insider’s “Most Innovative Coaches,” clients say my approach is unlike anything they’ve tried before.
That’s because not only am I a licensed social worker and human behavior professor who has been working with Sensitive Strivers for over ten years…
But I’m also one myself.
I know what it’s like to feel like an oddball, and not be able to put a finger on why.
But the 3am spirals, constant second-guessing, and Sunday night dread followed me everywhere.
It wasn’t until my body literally broke down that I finally understood…
My sensitivity wasn’t the problem. How I related to and managed it was.
When I used tools from my psychology background to work with my heightened awareness instead of fighting it, everything changed.
I found my voice in difficult conversations. I advocated for my value. I made decisions from clarity, not fear.
This is what RESILIENT is about: mastering your inner psychology so you’re ready for any opportunity – not as someone else, but as your most powerful self.
You’ve tried books, podcasts, and perhaps other programs. But without real-time input, there’s a limit to how much you can develop into becoming the confident, grounded professional you want to be.
Our alumni call our Tuesday/Thursday 3pm ET group coaching sessions “profound” and “transformational” and “life-changing.” Because you get direct access to me and my coaching team on every call for hyper-practical solutions to your workplace challenges.
Unlike other coaching programs, RESILIENT hasn’t been hastily slapped together. Drawing on my decades of research and experience coaching thousands of top performers worldwide, I’ve distilled the most effective techniques into one focused system.
I partnered with a learning designer for hundreds of hours to create an experience grounded in neuroscience and behavioral psychology. You’ll gain practical tools to tame your inner critic during high-stakes meetings, regulate your emotional responses to criticism, and channel overthinking into strategic decision-making when pressure mounts.
My proprietary STRIVE Diagnostic™ reveals the exact behaviors that are holding you back at work, so you can stop wasting energy trying to figure out which patterns are blocking your progress.
Use your visual snapshot to hone in on what to tackle first to escape the endless loop of insecurity and emotional exhaustion. Watching as your confidence scores rise and stress indicators drop.
Maybe you’ve joined groups where dominant personalities took over all of the calls while you sat silently, never getting your voice heard or your questions answered.
RESILIENT is different. Here, you’ll find your people – seasoned professionals who serve as your braintrust. Our private Circle community becomes many members’ favorite place online because, for once, you’re not the only one who processes deeply, feels intensely, and holds yourself to impossible standards.
As one alumna put it: “Finding others who think like me was worth the investment alone.”
Nine modules with 40+ focused video lessons released weekly in manageable ~30-minute segments. Each provides practical tools for making decision fast and managing your emotions in high-pressure meetings and challenging interactions.
All lessons are concise and available on-demand to fit your schedule. With six months of classroom access, revisit specific techniques as new workplace situations arise.
Every Thursday at 3pm ET, we dig deeper into the lessons and discuss your action steps and key takeaways. Because information without implementation is useless.
These aren’t boring lecture-style sessions – they’re dynamic discussions where we coach you on putting new strategies into practice and workshop challenges together.
Get unstuck ASAP! Bring your toughest workplace challenges and get real-time solutions at Office Hours, Tuesdays at 3pm ET. No more stewing for days or struggling alone. The format is Q&A style and you can submit questions in advance.
Get immediate guidance when your boss drops a surprise project on your team (push back or prove yourself?), a colleague takes credit for your work (how do you respond?), or your quieter style isn’t landing in a team of “big” personalities (how do you get respect without changing who you are?)
Hosted securely on Circle, this is your confidential space where career-changing connections happen – far from the noise of social media or the politics of your workplace.
Access a curated braintrust who can help you think through that tricky situation with that frustrating stakeholder, workshop your approach to a tough conversation, or validate that you’re not overthinking things. Share your wins wither others who genuinely celebrate your success. Get accountability to keep moving forward.
Our clients call this proprietary, one-of-a-kind diagnostic tool “a real game changer” because it helps them decode their specific stress triggers with speed and clarity.
We’ll revisit your diagnostic throughout the program so you have objective data to on track with your goals. Add on 1:1 coaching sessions with our expert team to break through specific roadblocks holding you back and create detailed action plans tailored to your situation.
Shipped straight to your door, this isn’t just a blank journal – it’s a carefully crafted companion with reflection prompts, implementation worksheets, and more for each module.
Every page helps you turn insights into action, capturing your most powerful takeaways for easy reference long after the program ends.
My celebrated treasure trove of 80+ scripts, worksheets, and templates for everything from saying no at work, asking strategic questions in meetings, and working with different personality types.
Get access to a library of past Q&As with me as well as never-before-released talks and mini-trainings. Covering topics like thriving as a highly sensitive person in the workplace, overcoming fears of speaking up, and more.
Complement the content in RESILIENT and extend your insights even further with a list of career and leadership books and podcasts. I’ve done the work of curating best-in-class content that I recommend most often to my private coaching clients.
I know you’re busy and would like the option of taking your RESILIENT learning on the go. That’s why I’ve added a private podcast feed as well as transcripts of all the lessons inside the program. That way, you can continue discovering the curriculum while cooking, traveling, and more.
Next cohort starts May 22nd
Before you even dive into the core content of RESILIENT, I’ll walk you step-by-step through how to get the most out of the course and how to set yourself up for success. Week 1 is dedicated to Orientation. Week 2, we complete your STRIVE Diagnostic™.
Break free from the mental loops that keep you questioning your abilities and staying late at the computer. Transform your emotional awareness into a source of insights instead of exhaustion and end the workday with energy left for the things you love, rather than feeling completely depleted.
Build the inner toolkit to thrive amid workplace challenges – from dealing with difficult coworkers and bosses to adapting when priorities shift overnight. Learn to take feedback without spiraling, speak up with quiet confidence when pushed, and stay grounded even when everything around you feels unstable and overwhelming.
Since 2020, over 500 Sensitive Strivers have used RESILIENT to earn skip-level promotions, 6-figure bonuses, and become happier and more secure in themselves.
While it might feel like your self-sabotaging patterns are ingrained and unchangeable, data from our proprietary diagnostic shows that members achieve big results in just 13 weeks:
Next cohort starts May 22nd
Let’s face it: work is more complex, demanding, and stressful than ever before. The higher you rise, the higher the stakes. And the more important it becomes to channel your sensitivity and ambition to work for you instead of against you.
Over the past twelve years, I’ve leveraged my background as a therapist and professor of human behavior to teach thousands of Sensitive Strivers just like you how to turn those pressures into your power, transforming stress into strategies for peak performance.
Named one of Business Insider’s Most Innovative Coaches, I’m the best-selling author of Trust Yourself: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions for Success at Work, contributor to Harvard Business Review, and Linkedin Top Voice.
You’ll also receive support and guidance from my executive co-coach, Wendy Cary.
With three decades of corporate experience in fast-paced organizations, she knows firsthand the same pressures you’re feeling and the complexities you’re navigating. Her own journey through burnout stoked her desire to help others through professional coaching.
Wendy received her International Coaching Federation certification from the prestigious Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. She’s worked closely with Melody for over two years – so she’s not just familiar with Melody’s tools, but she’s mastered and developed them further through hundreds of hours working with professionals like you.
You’ll be guided on a 90-day journey to apply strategies that help channel your sensitivity and ambition for success.
These 90-minute calls every week on Thursdays at 3 pm ET are your opportunity to take action and find accountability to reach your goals.
The live office hour sessions every week on Tuesdays at 3 pm ET provide an opportunity for real-time coaching on challenges you're facing.
The private community hosted on Circle is your safe space to share action steps, goals, and insight.
You’ll get access to my proprietary STRIVE Diagnostic to identify your unique opportunities for growth, prioritize your energy, and craft a personalized path toward transformation.
Your custom workbook will help you apply the theory you’re discovering and practically put it into action.
Implement what you’re learning with dozens of actionable worksheets, templates, exercises, and scripts.
Get access to a library of past Q&As with me as well as never-before-released talks and mini-trainings.
Extend your insights even further with a list of career and leadership books and podcasts.

That’s right. You can enroll in the program without paying a dime of your own money. Instead, your employer can sponsor the cost on your behalf.
You see, most companies have professional development funds for employees that cover programs like RESILIENT.
Because an investment in YOU means positive ROI for their business, and shows you’re motivated and committed to enhancing your performance.

It’s up to you, but consider the risks…
That last point is a BIG one.
Carnegie Mellon University estimates failing to negotiate for a higher income can cost you over a million dollars during your career.
No one ever taught you how to navigate the workplace deep thinking and feeling professional.
Is it any wonder you struggle with overwhelm, self-doubt, and feeling misunderstood?
You don’t need a bootcamp to knock the sensitivity out of you. You need a step-by-step roadmap to harness its power.
RESILIENT gives you the tangible tools, science-based strategies, and award-winning coaching to do just that.
Next cohort starts May 22nd
The next cohort of RESILIENT starts May 22nd, 2025 and runs through August 14th, 2025.
Live office hours (where you can get real-time coaching) are weekly on Tuesdays at 3pm ET. Live group calls to discuss the lessons are every Thursday at 3pm ET. Everything is recorded and posted in the classroom and on our private podcast feed within 24 hours.
We recommend investing around 3 hours per week in your participation in RESILIENT. As with most things though, the more you put in, the more you’ll get out of it. You will only get results if you are willing to be proactive, utilize the resources, and actually apply what you’re learning.
Also think of the tools in this program as something that can save you a lot of time in the future – time you currently spend overthinking, beating yourself up, and saying yes to things you don’t want to do.
❌ You tell yourself you’ll wait to speak up in meetings until you feel more confident. Meanwhile, your colleagues get credit for ideas you’ve been sitting on for months.
❌ You decide to wait to ask for that promotion until you’ve nailed a big accomplishment. But that target keeps moving, and you’re still in the same role a year later.
❌ You wait to set boundaries with your boss, enduring late-night emails and weekend work. Your mental health suffers, and you’re teetering on burnout.
❌ You wait to invest in yourself, telling yourself you’ll focus on it when work is less hectic. But there’s always another project, another deadline, another reason to put yourself last.
Life doesn’t slow down – especially for driven professionals like you. And waiting costs you more than you think.
Your tendency to take things personally isn’t going away. Neither is your habit of ruminating or saying “yes” excessively. These traits won’t magically become easier to handle “someday.”
In fact, without the right tools, they might just intensify, moving you further from the confidence you crave and the compensation and recognition you deserve.
The only thing waiting guarantees is more of the same.
You don’t have to wait for the life and career you want. You can’t afford to. Your future self is counting on you to take action NOW.
We’ve had many students have success getting their companies to pay for the program. After all, investing in you is an investment in their future success. I know asking your employer can be nerve-wracking so I’ve created a sample letter you can send your manager to request sponsorship along with a PDF overview.

RESILIENT brings together Sensitive Strivers from around the globe. We chose our calls times to accommodate as many international time zones as possible – from Australia to the West Coast of America. Many alumni initially felt uneasy about the time slot too. Then they realized – this is the perfect opportunity to practice a key skill you’ll learn inside RESILIENT:
Most participants find success by approaching their manager with a compelling case: “I’d like to reserve Tuesday and Thursday at 3pm ET for professional development between January and April. Here are the expected outcomes in terms of my performance and skills… And of course, I’ll ensure all my work gets done.” Most leaders eagerly agree!
If you’d like help having this conversation, book a time to chat with me here.
Last, there are other ways to get support in the program including through our private community. Plus, don’t think of our live calls as time away from work. They will have a disproportionate impact on your . No more spending your entire evening ruminating over a colleague’s comment. No more paralysis when faced with a tough decision. Instead, you’ll be able to move through your tasks, conversations, inbox and more with a new sense of confidence, lightness and ease.
Our alumni say this program is unlike anything they’ve tried before because:
Since 2020, over 450 Sensitive Strivers have used RESILIENT to earn skip-level promotions, 6-figure bonuses, and become happier and more secure in themselves.

→ 77% increase in regulating their emotions at work

Melody’s book, TRUST YOURSELF, and RESILIENT are great companions to one another, but they are distinct.
RESILIENT goes into much more depth and covers additional topics Melody didn’t have space to add to the book.
RESILIENT encompasses Melody’s entire body of work around the best tools, strategies, and teachings about Sensitive Strivers and overcoming challenges they face like overthinking, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and more. It is significantly more comprehensive than her stand-alone workshops or courses.
With RESILIENT, you get the biggest return on investment through more content and tools and accountability, and support. You have more structure and accountability, which, of course, isn’t available with a book (where you’re left to implement everything on your own). You’ll make progress faster because you’re not doing this alone.
Melody is actively involved as the head coach and leader throughout your entire RESILIENT journey. Unlike programs where the founder steps back after enrollment, Melody personally leads all coaching sessions and is a regular presence in our community. She directly teaches every live session, responds to questions during office hours, and actively participates in group discussions.
Working alongside Melody is Wendy, her trusted right-hand coach. Wendy helps ensure you get maximum value from every aspect of RESILIENT by co-facilitating coaching calls, fostering meaningful discussions in our community, and helping you stay accountable to your goals. She also offers private coaching options if you’re looking for additional 1:1 support.
Together, Melody and Wendy create a powerful support system focused on your growth and success throughout the program and beyond.
Alternative shorter version: How much access do I get to Melody?
As head coach, Melody personally leads every aspect of RESILIENT – from teaching live sessions to answering questions in office hours and engaging in group discussions. She’s supported by Wendy, her right-hand coach, who helps facilitate calls, foster community discussions, and keep you accountable. Together, they ensure you have consistent, high-quality support throughout your RESILIENT journey.
I take privacy very seriously. All RESILIENT members agree to a confidentiality clause upon signing up. There is a zero-tolerance policy for violations.
RESILIENT is best suited for established leaders and professionals who want to advance in their careers. That could mean growing within your current role or moving to a new one (within your company or somewhere else).
RESILIENT is right for you if a lack of confidence, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure is holding you back from stepping into new opportunities. Many of our members enter the program feeling stuck, unbalanced, and held back from pursuing new opportunities because of fear. As a result of the confidence and skills they gained through RESILIENT, some members end up changing roles or companies because they finally have the courage and conviction to be more assertive, value their abilities, and believe in their potential.
Here are two testimonials from members of the last round who are changing roles as a result of the program:
– K.M., District Leader
– N.M, Student Communications Officer
Please keep in mind that we do not discuss job search strategies in this program. Review the curriculum carefully. This program is NOT a great fit for those who need support figuring out what to do with their lives or those who want help with the tactical side of job searching such as resume, interviewing prep, etc. If you’re already clear on the next step you want to take and just need the confidence to get there and the tools to be successful in your role, then RESILIENT can help. If you have a question about your particular situation, please reach out to hello@melodywilding.com
Absolutely! While some examples in RESILIENT might be framed in an employee/ corporate context, the teachings, tools, and tactics in RESILIENT are highly adaptable to business owners.
The strategies in RESILIENT are just as effective for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and consultants as they are for corporate professionals. We’ve had many business owners participate in the program, including:
These business owners have found RESILIENT particularly valuable for:
The live coaching sessions provide an opportunity to apply the tools directly to your specific situation as a business owner. You’ll be able to get tailored advice and strategies for your unique challenges.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been running your business for years, RESILIENT can help you develop the mental resilience and emotional intelligence needed to thrive working for yourself or running a small team.
When you join this program, my team and I commit time and bandwidth to be available to serve you. That affects how many others can join the program. For that reason, there are no refunds.
