Melody Elkin

Melody’s communication and training work is broad-based, encompassing many different industries and organizations, here in the USA and Internationally. She instinctively knows what makes a great coach because she attributes much of her success to the great coaches she’s had, who have helped her win PAC-10 championships and reach the pinnacle of women’s athletics when she was drafted by the WNBA. Her drive and enthusiasm extend to her clients for whom she is a coach, mentor, and trusted advisor.

Her success, experience, athletic drive, and exceptional relationship skills, along with her formal communications training, makes Melody a sought-after trainer to deliver The Speech Improvement Company’s 58+ years of communication skills training, tools, and techniques as both one-on-one coaching sessions and leading group workshops.

Melody has provided coaching and training to business professionals who want to truly connect with their listeners by speaking persuasively and with confidence, and to professional athletes, coaches, and staff who need strategic communication coaching and media training.

She has extensive experience helping both for- and non-profit corporations, educators, and multiple public service organizations. She was an entrepreneur, launching her own successful small business in the Phoenix area and appearing in multiple interviews on local news channels.

Over the past 15 years, Melody has consulted with and taught professionals from well-known and diverse organizations such as COX Communications, Edward Jones, Thrivent Financial, Arizona State University, Keller Williams, and the Virginia G. Piper Foundation.
