About Melinda Weekes-Laidlow
Throughout my career, I have led and supported mission-driven teams and organizations to dream audaciously, solve the most complex problems, plan well, exceed goals, and enjoy the process along the way. It is my passion to design problem-solving, visioning, learning, and skill-building opportunities for colleagues at all organizational levels, for communities, industries, and across sectors. I possess exceptional talents in leadership, strategic advising, facilitation, management consulting, presentation, collaboration, planning, equity and culture building. As a multi-disciplinary professional, I have experience weaving and engaging networks of influencers across creative, academic, community-based, religious, business, legal, policy, and philanthropic sectors.Please feel free to contact me via email/inbox with any thoughts, comments, or questions about my work— I’m always interested in making new professional acquaintances.
