NADL has collaborated with Melissa Laughon of Catch Your Limit Consulting to create the NADL Leadership Development Series. This series will cover a variety of topics over a five-week series, which will strengthen leader's confidence, and will also equip leaders with the tools they need to create a culture of engagement, where team members are confident with their skills and eager to contribute. Topics will include communication strategies, leadership styles, creativity tools for innovation, and methods for constructive conflict.

Committed to turning inspiration into inspired action, Melissa is curious to the core so she can help leaders cut through the confusion of what to do next and provide them with consistency, clarity and results-driven deliverable.
Melissa brings her collaborative and participatory approach as she guides leaders and teams to define and design their successes. Though data-driven and strategic-minded, Melissa’s true superpower is to connect the head and heart of an organization and build trust so that leaders can let go of mediocre results and generate limitless rewards. She knows that prosperity and sustainability comes from trust…and that starts with the courage to try a new approach.
