Words of Endorsement“Much like a composer, Melanie has an aptitude for discerning the unique rhythms of individuals. She can meet you and intuit “your song” immediately. This special gift directs her professional success. She is an executive who can see the vision before it unfolds and therefore have a large hand in manifesting it. Melanie has that rare ability to put feet to dreams. Finally, I have found that she epitomizes Malcolm Gladwell’s connector archetype mentioned in "The Tipping Point." Her circle of acquaintances pulsates with life and she delights in introducing individuals to their benefactors. This is a woman you must get to know! Your life will change for the better because of it.” August 14, 2008 Susan Kavanaugh, Asst. Vice President, Communications and Marketing, A.T. Still University “I've worked with Melanie in
various arts partnership development projects, both as a PhD candidate and
as a faculty member. She has a particular ability to listen to
individuals, to attend to project goals, and to weave these elements
together into a working partnership that demonstrates relevant outcomes to
the communities and people involved. Her work connecting community-based
groups through the arts has led to long term and systemic change.” "In the brief time I have known Melanie,
I can already say that she is passionate, engaging and zenfully motivated.
In other words, you can expect an incredible professional work ethic,
mixed with joy, laughter and a sense of purpose. All the ingredients one
needs to be a true zentrepreneur." "Melanie Ohm is the type of person who
comes immediately to mind when I think, "What type of person would I most
like to work with, on any project?" She is personable, incredibly
talented, conscientious, thorough, easy-to-get-along-with, and absolutely
passionate about everything she does (which is a lot!). I experienced
these qualities first hand when I participated in the ArtVentures in
Engineering program that she helped administer at Arizona State
University. From beginning to end, she was totally professional, yet
approachable and not at all "stuffy." After a while, she became more of a
friend than "just" a professional colleague, which helped to make the
entire "Venture" a totally satisfying experience, with very warm and
lasting memories. Ours soon became a truly rewarding relationship that I
hope will endure for years to come!" July 3, 2008 "Melanie is a knowledgeable and talented
leader and advocate for our community. Her work consistently demonstrates
her personal and professional goals to pursue excellence as a Consultant
regardless of the subject matter. I highly recommend her and believe we
are quite privileged to have her work with our organization as a
Consultant, Facilitator and Trainer." "I have known Melanie since 2000 and she
is one of the most professional and wonderful people I have had the
pleasure of working with during my ten-year career at Arizona State
University. We have partnered on numerous projects including our
co-creation, the ArtVentures in Engineering Program… Melanie has always
been one to forge partnerships, freely collaborate and create connections
between people, departments, and organizations. Her knowledge and
experience regarding community relations, funding opportunities, project
management and education are phenomenal. She is highly creative individual
and passionate about the arts, science & engineering, and education.
Melanie is a marvelous individual and I highly endorse her company and her
future endeavors!" "Melanie is an innovative thinker. She
broadens the experiences of many who are involved in business with her by
building collaborative environments, being trustworthy, hardworking and
creative. She inspires others to see how their work matters in the larger
scope of community." |
