Hi, I’m Melissa Wetzel—Executive Coach, Leadership Strategist, and Founder of Waivilo Coaching & Consulting LLC.
With over 20 years of leadership experience in the federal government, I’ve led high-performing teams, driven major organizational change, and built a reputation for getting results. But for a long time, I led from a place of obligation—not alignment. I was successful on paper, but something was missing.
Coaching helped me change that. Through coaching, I found clarity, reconnected with my values, and learned how to lead with authenticity and purpose—not just productivity.
That transformation inspired me to become a coach and create Waivilo—a name inspired by my daughter and a reminder that we are all allowed to define success on our own terms.
Today, I partner with individuals and organizations who are ready to move from autopilot to intentional growth. Whether you’re navigating a leadership challenge, career transition, or personal turning point, I help you reconnect with what matters most so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
I believe growth starts with self-awareness, and that every client already holds the answers—they just need a space to discover them. That’s what I create. A space for truth-telling, reflection, and action.
Let’s explore your alignment, unlock your potential, and chart your next chapter—on purpose.
