“Melissa Briggs has been my teaching colleague at Stanford for over 3 years--she is simply one of the best acting teachers and performance coaches I have ever worked with. Passionate, detail oriented, supportive and highly skilled--a joy to witness! Please feel free to contact me about Melissa...she has my highest recommendation.”

Kay Kostopoulos, Stanford University, Department of Theatre and Performance Studies 

“Melissa Jones Briggs is a talented theatre artist. She excels at working with multiple types of learners. This skill was critical in helping to develop the integrated Arts Unite Us program at Youth in Arts that brought together students with disabilities alongside advanced theatre students to create original productions, written, directed, designed and performed by students. Melissa is a treasure who is deeply committed to theatre for social change and providing opportunities for young people to share their voice and vision.”

Miko Lee, Executive Director, Youth in Arts
 

Melissa is highly charismatic business coach with vast expertise in mentoring leaders tap into their hidden strengths. Among many talents, clear communication is one of her strong suit, if not her forte. Her unique ability to communicate not only verbally, but also through demonstration, all while using the student’s individual persona, is by far an awe-inspiring talent. She often made the most complex behavioral concepts understood with ease, as if only a ‘walk in the park’. Her charisma and character always brought along an energetic mood and as such, she always managed to uplift the entire group. Needless to say, Melissa takes a genuine interest in her student’s ability to reach their target goals. All in all, Melissa brings to academia a well-rounded approach to helping leaders balance their business acumen with awareness & compassion, a trait that some epitomize as a missing skill in an executive leadership setting.
