Organizational & Professional Leadership
Turning Vision into Structured Action
"I have big dreams, but they often stayed dreams until I started working with Meredith at MKO Strategies. Seeking clarity about the next steps for my small business, I found invaluable business consulting that provided the push I needed to move toward those bigger visions.
Through her professional coaching, Meredith helped me recognize the value in aspects of my business that I had always avoided—the backend work, goal-setting, and tracking. Remarkably, she made me enjoy the process! Meredith excels at analyzing what’s needed and developing systems that make progress feel realistic and achievable.
Working with Meredith feels like having a thoughtful partner who not only cheers you on but also keeps you accountable to your goals. Thanks to our collaborative effort, I’ve set realistic goals that challenge me to step outside my comfort zone. The tools I gained continue to support my personal growth and enrich my client experiences."
—Emily B., Business Owner
Creating Process Clarity
"I’ve had the privilege of working with Meredith both as a colleague and more recently in her role as a consultant. Meredith has an exceptional ability to understand goals, identify opportunities, anticipate risks, and map and standardize processes—even when she’s unfamiliar with the subject matter or software being implemented.
Most recently, Meredith helped our organization map a complex CapEx process that lacked clear ownership and approval workflows across multiple technology platforms. She meticulously documented the current process, identified redundancies, and proposed improvements that streamlined workflows. Her recommendations included both short-term and long-term strategies with clear timelines and actionable steps.
Meredith’s expertise, strategic thinking, and ability to bring clarity to complex challenges make her an invaluable partner for any organization.”
—Anna L., Senior Project Manager
Improving Efficiency Across Complex Business Systems
"I have had the pleasure of working with Meredith for more than seven years in the realm of business consulting. She possesses a rare ability to quickly decipher complex processes, ask the right questions, and effectively document not only existing workflows but also the bottlenecks that hinder efficiency.
When I needed an expert to help document and analyze a series of business processes, aiming to envision a better future and implement meaningful improvements, Meredith was the first person I called. Her talents extend across various departments and functions, consistently delivering thoughtful, practical solutions that enhance client experiences.
Meredith exemplifies professionalism—she is collaborative, communicative, and reliable. She consistently delivers on time and on budget while maintaining a calm, solutions-oriented approach that reflects her expertise in professional coaching."

Translating Interests into Career Direction
"The most meaningful part of working with Meredith in her professional coaching sessions was feeling that she genuinely cared about helping me find a path I’m excited about.
I came to our sessions feeling uncertain about what direction to take next. I had ideas about what I liked, but I didn’t know how those interests could translate into real career options. Meredith listened closely and took the time to truly understand me, leveraging her expertise in business consulting. She took a short list of things I enjoy and curated thoughtful possibilities I hadn’t even considered.
After our time together, I gained:
• Clarity about career paths that align with my strengths and interests
• Hope and motivation for what’s possible
• The reminder that even when I feel stuck, there are always steps forward
I left feeling lighter, more confident, and ready to take action, which is a testament to the impactful client experiences offered by Meredith."

Confidence and Career Growth
"I first started working with MKO in July 2025, when I was looking for help updating my resume. My company was going through a difficult downturn and had laid off around thirty percent of the workforce. Like many others standing in the dust, I felt impending doom about my own circumstances and realized it would be foolish not to prepare for the inevitable pink slip.
I turned to Meredith for help and was impressed from the start. By asking insightful questions about my work history, she helped me develop an accurate picture of my achievements as well as a positive vision of my potential. I not only felt relief from taking action, but gained greater confidence and pride in what I had accomplished in my career.
Once our work on my resume was finished, I continued working with MKO on my career search. Meredith helped me develop job-searching skills that felt fun and effective. I looked forward to our meetings and felt like I was the one in control of what could be—not the other way around.
At the same time, Meredith encouraged me to make the best of where I was currently working. As I took on more responsibility because of the company’s downsizing, she suggested I approach my manager and HR about additional compensation.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. We were laying people off, and I was supposed to ask for a raise? Although it seemed counterintuitive, I couldn’t deny that it felt right.
Meredith coached me on how to approach the conversation and document the value of my work. After three months of working with MKO, I received my first pay increase in several years.
As the company continued to consolidate, I had an opportunity to move into a new role. Thanks again to my work with MKO, I was prepared and received another pay increase. I realized I had now received two increases in six months while many colleagues hadn’t seen one in years.
Okay, let’s keep this train rolling.
I laughed when Meredith said, 'Let’s discuss a timeline for your next increase and promotion.' Three months later, my manager came to me with an offer letter for another promotion and pay increase.
That’s where I am today: challenging myself to make an impact in my career and understanding that, with this impact, I can be compensated.
MKO gave me the tools and confidence to make it happen."

Personal Growth & Self-Discovery
Building Emotional Resilience
"The most helpful part of working with Meredith was gaining tools that helped me build greater emotional fortitude. It’s easy to overlook how growth and change in life can affect how we feel, but Meredith’s calm and welcoming nature helped me understand that and learn how to better recognize, name, and work through my emotions.
Through this work, I’ve become more regulated, determined, and focused while still allowing myself to be human. It helped me reconnect with my core self and feel empowered by who I am."
—Michael H., Personal Development Client
Reconnecting with Purpose
"After retiring a couple of years ago and navigating several life changes, I found myself feeling unsure of what came next and weighed down by the heaviness of the world around me.
Meredith helped me reconnect with a sense of purpose and possibility. I now feel re-energized, more focused, and excited about what’s ahead."
