Sylvia Melena

Hi! I'm Sylvia Melena.

I’m the Founder and CEO of Melena Consulting Group, a leadership and management training, consulting, and book coaching company.

I’m also a two-time international award-winning and #1 best-selling author of Supportive Accountability: How to Inspire People and Improve Performance and its Spanish translation, Responsabilidad solidaria: Cómo mejorar el rendimiento laboral por medio del apoyo. I'm also the former Vice President of the San Diego Book Awards Association.

I served four years as a Judge for the National Association of Hispanic Publications’ José Martí Awards.

In short, I know my stuff.

I have a passion for helping speakers, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs write, self-publish, and launch their first nonfiction book for impact, sales, and authority.

Because of my first nonfiction book, my leadership philosophy has been featured by the Society of Human Resources Management HR Today, the Human Performance Association, Entrepreneur, LEADx, My Quest for the Best, Fit Small Business, and other outlets.

You can write your first nonfiction book too!

I would love to show you how.
