Melanie Colling: Connect and Grow Rich
Melanie Colling runs Purpose Driven Projects to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses through projects.
For me, that’s an instantly curious topic – lots of people are talking about purpose and we all have projects, but few are talking about ‘purpose-driven projects’.
Previously Mel had worked in the corporate world for over 20 years in various senior project management roles. She has also run and sold an online wedding business.
Melanie Colling has recently returned from a seven-month stint in Bali working with the Entrepreneurs Institute founded by Roger James Hamilton.
In working with entrepreneurs, she finds that the execution phase is where many people struggle. In particular, who can help me? From this insight, Mel is now working to help connect entrepreneurs with the people they need to grow their businesses.
