Melodie Turk

“As the Regional Learning and Development Manager at Goodwill, Melodie was responsible for ensuring our non profit was a learning organization. She was my partner in developing strategic and functional training programs for my department. She is very skilled and knowledgeable not only in curriculum development, program development, and training development, but also at effective and engaging facilitation. Melodie is also extremely savvy to the tools that are available through online platforms to support the learning process. Not only was she my strategic partner, but she was a thought partner as well. As I worked through how to further enable my leadership team to raise our level of leadership acuity, she was instrumental in helping me to find creative and insightful ways to equip us to do that. She also found ways to bring to life idea's that were new and different for my organization. Melodie is intentional in her approaches and a true collaborator. I highly recommend her!”

“I enjoyed my experience working with Melodie. Her approach to learning is effective and inspired me to expand training tools and methods used by the Loss Prevention Department. Melodie assisted me on several occasions in the development of training materials for my department as well as training for the development of our entire retail management team. I look forward to the opportunity to work with her in the future.”

“Working with Melodie was often the best part of my day. I find her approach to learning and organizational development commendable. In my career, I have seen many people only consider decision makers. One of my favorite things about Melodie is that she considers the impact of her work across all levels, and insurers that every employee has to oppose learn, grow, and get exposure to new ideas. She is an expert bridge builder, and many projects on which we worked together were based on collaboration and bringing people together. She is ready for that next step in her career, and I hope that someone is smart enough to give it to her. ”

“She is a people person who wants to train the world. I had the pleasure of working with Melodie for that last two years at Goodwill, collaborating on several training-related projects. With very few programs in place, she was tasked with creating or revamping training programs for all levels of the organization: from retail store staff, warehouse production employees to our leadership team. This was a huge undertaking collaborating with subject matter experts to understand the skills necessary for each role, creating timelines for the training to take place and guides for managers to execute, along with methods for reporting completed training tasks and billing of training hours. I always appreciated Melodie’s ability to connect with people. She loves what she does and she wants to help as many people as possible be successful in their roles through training and personal connection. She was great at presenting her ideas to all levels of the organization in small and large groups, hosting brain storming or fact finding sessions, or just chatting about ideas one on one. Melodie was our office cheerleader – the one that loves to dress up for Halloween, secretly leave chocolates on your desk or plan a fun activity for staff. She’s the one in charge of the Fun Committee. If you are looking for a self-directed people person to develop your training initiatives, Melodie is your candidate. She is knowledgeable about the latest training techniques, is well read when it comes to leadership books and theories and has a passion for all things training. I would work with her again in a heartbeat. ”

“I had the honor of facilitating a very high profile event with Melodie. It was for a pending affilation comprising of the dyad executive leaders from finance, legal, human resource, retirement, investments and information services. There were many opinions, diverse perspective and fears. Melodie calmly and confidently lead in such a way that everyone involved was engaged, heard and respected. She has a stellar reputation for team building, collaboration and change management, most notably as someone who gracefully traverses difficult topics with tangible results.”

“Melodie is an outstanding facilitator, trainer and mentor to many. I observed her exceptional talents for two years during our time with the Continuous Healthcare Transformation (CHT) team. She has a passion for change, and a desire to help others become the best of themselves. Melodie is proficient, professional, and dedicated to completing any tasks that come her way. She also is extremely knowledgable in healthcare strategy and design. Melodie's many talents make her an obvious choice for any organization looking to hire a fantastic person with amazing capabilities!”

“Melodie Turk’s mission is to change the world for the better. She believes that she can do so. I agree. I hired Melodie to manage and coordinate the work of the most senior operational leaders across Providence Health & Services. She became such an integral part of their team that it is hard to imagine being successful without her. It is a rare junior leader that can hold an executive vice president accountable! Hire her fast, because I am actively looking for another excuse to work with her.”

“Melodie is a standout person and leader; hard-working, smart, energetic, and fun. I’ve had the privilege of working with her for over 6 years, collaborating on several projects and teams. Mel has a lot of skills, but her ability to bring a group of individuals together and get them to act as a team has always impressed me. She’s pushed groups of senior executives with seemingly disparate objectives to make difficult decisions together. She’s also started grassroots efforts for administrative professionals to collaborate while encouraging professional development. She was the heart of our team; leading us on picnics, volunteer activities, and reflective discussions. Mel would be an asset to any team; I offer my highest recommendation. ”

“Melodie brings joy to the team she is a part of. In addition to being a motivated and capable contributor, she brings a mood of cooperation, a strong sense of direction and meaning, and a high level of energy to all the work she leads. She is passionate about the mission. For me, working with Melodie has been a highlight of my time in the organization.”

“Melodie does not settle for the status quo. She has an amazing ability to think out of the box and find impactful solutions to time sensitive concerns. While extremely focused at the task at hand, Melodie also understands the integral balance relationships have on success. She goes out of her way to make people feel welcomed and valued. Melodie will make a great addition to any team who not only desire positive change, but also outcomes!”

“Melodie is a great asset to the organization. She keeps complex projects on-track, creates opportunities for constructive dialog, and facilitates decision-making. She has always been positive and proactive in her interactions.”

“I worked with Melodie as a fellow recruiter for over two years. She is great at building relationships with hiring managers and candidates alike. Melodie is extremely detail oriented, a master at time management and strong with troubleshooting tools and processes. I would highly recommend Melodie.”

“Melodie was a dedicated and conscientious employee who always put forward a very strong effort. Her upbeat, can do attitude was a pleasure to be around and she made a positive impact on all those in our group. I highly recommend Melodie. She would be an asset to any organization.”

“Melodie was an excellent employee who was able to take a project from start to finish with minimal direction. Melodie is extremely creative and has excellent customer service skills. I would happily hire Melodie again in the future if I were to have a position fitting her interests at the time.”
