Mel Kettle works with leaders and organisations who want results without burning out their people.

She brings a rare combination of strategic clarity, deep communication expertise, and a human understanding of how work actually feels on the ground.

Clients choose Mel because she:

• Gets the reality of modern leadership — the pressure, pace, and complexity — and designs solutions that work in the real world.

• Bridges strategy and humanity, helping leaders communicate with clarity, lead with confidence, and create cultures where people can thrive.

• Delivers practical outcomes, not just inspiration — every session includes clear frameworks and tools that can be applied immediately.

• Balances credibility with warmth, combining decades of experience with lived insight, humour, and an engaging, relatable style.

• Focuses on sustainable success, helping organisations grow, perform, and adapt without sacrificing wellbeing or connection.

Mel doesn’t believe in one-size-fits-all leadership. Her work is always tailored, grounded in evidence, and designed to create meaningful, lasting change — for people and performance.

Mel is the host of podcast This Connected Life and the author of two books: the best-selling Fully Connected and The Social Association.

When she’s not working, you’ll find her cooking, at the beach, or lounging on her daybed enjoying a good book with a cup of tea.
