Missy and Melisa have spent their careers building teams, growing leaders, and walking through the moments people don’t put on LinkedIn. The wins. The missteps. The hard conversations. The layoffs. The promotions. The Sunday-night dread. The Monday-morning hope.
Their path has run through classrooms, HR, executive leadership, coaching, and culture transformation. Along the way, one pattern kept showing up: people are talented, people are tired, and leaders often want better, but need a clear way to build it.
TGIM became that way.
Find work that fits strengths, values, and season of life
Turn avoidance into clean, honest conversations
Build coaching habits that stick
Create teams where accountability feels fair, not sharp
Design culture that keeps energy from leaking out of the week
Missy Forlani works where people and performance meet. Her background in HR, leadership development, and coaching has shown her how culture quietly shapes motivation, trust, and growth.
She is known for clear, compassionate leadership and
honest conversations that strengthen trust. Missy believes feedback should be frequent, human, and useful, not saved for formal reviews or avoided altogether.
TGIM reflects her conviction that leadership is learned through practice and that work can be challenging without losing its humanity. Mondays, she believes, can be a place to begin again.
Melisa Soydinc has built her career helping organizations manage growth, change, and the pressure that comes with both. With a foundation in human resources, executive leadership, and coaching, she understands the real constraints leaders face.
Her strength is turning insight into action. Melisa helps people see what is happening beneath the surface and make intentional choices that create alignment and momentum.
TGIM carries her belief that when people know who they are and how they contribute, work stops draining energy and starts giving it back.
