Mel Loy: change communication speaker and facilitator
I help leaders and teams communicate change, navigate uncertainty, and drive innovation. Practical, research-based, and anything but boring.

Keynotes your audience will actually use
Big change underway? Leadership forum or conference coming up?
I give your audience practical tools they can use on Monday, backed by behavioural science and real case studies. And I draw while I talk. My live sketchnotes turn big ideas into pictures people remember long after the event.
I've spoken to audiences across Australia, Canada, Malaysia and Indonesia, in person and online.

Strategy sessions that end with a clear plan
When a board or leadership team needs to agree on where it's heading, an outside facilitator frees everyone to take part. I guide the conversation, capture it visually and hand you a clear plan, plus materials to share the story with your stakeholders.
The books behind the talks
Change Isn't Hard: a practical playbook for people-centred change communication and Less Chatter, More Matter: the SKILLS to get your communication to cut through the noise. Both are available on Amazon, and bulk copies for event attendees can be arranged.
Coaching for leaders and independent consultants
For leaders: stepping into your first leadership role, or leading people through change? I coach new leaders to find their feet, build confidence and set their team up to succeed. I also help experienced leaders sharpen their communication, so people understand where they're heading and want to come along.
For consultants and freelancers: thinking about going out on your own, or just made the leap? I've been there. We'll get clear on your offer and build a practical plan you can start on straight away.
