MEL SCHILLING – Confidence Coach, TV Presenter, Speaker, Author, Ambassador
Mel has built a 20 year career as a therapist, business consultant and leadership coach for high performing people. A thought leader in Confidence and Courage, Mel draws on her background in psychology, as well as stage and screen performance, to ensure her speaking and consulting engagements are highly informative, actionable (and always entertaining!). Mel’s work with NAB led to the development of the successful Start Counting program, a workshop series to empower women to make smart life and money choices. Her media presence has steadily built over the past decade, resulting in her becoming one of Australia’s highest-profile relationship coaches and experts. As a speaker, Mel educates and entertains with her unique combination of science-backed research, light-hearted story-telling and interactive audience participation. She has graced the stage for organisations such as Business Chicks, Financial Executive Women and What Women Want, earning her sea legs as she wobbled her way through a 5-part speaking series, The Thrive Series, onboard P&O Cruises.
Mel has appeared on Channel Nine’s Married At First Sight for the past nine years, and 2023 will see her once again return to Australian and international screens. Mel’s warm, yet direct style and colourful facial expressions have earned her a place in Australia’s heart. Presenting a balanced approach with a clear feminist perspective, Mel has a reputation for asking the hard questions, making people accountable for their actions and shining the spotlight on gender politics in relationships. In 2021, Mel joined the UK version of MAFS undergoing a massive makeover and adopting the Australian format, working alongside sex therapist Charlene Douglas and “the world’s most influential matchmaker” Paul C Bronson. What’s more in 2022, Mel has penned a new book and launched an online membership experience – The C Word. Themed around confidence, it’s expertly aimed at helping guide high-achieving women to live extraordinary lives without leaving their comfort zone. Mel says, “Courage emerges when what you want is bigger than what you fear.” With her depth of media experience spanning TV (from full programs to brief segments), radio, online content (video and written) and print as well as brand ambassadorships for a selection of brands that align with her values, Mel is available for speaking, MC, media, brand partnerships and ambassadorial work.
