Imagine skyrocketing into your highest potential.
Every morning you wake up excited about the contribution you're making in the world. You know who you are and why you’re here. You know the value you bring simply by being who you are.
You know the next steps to take toward your vision. You trust that future steps will reveal themselves at the perfect time.
You celebrate every step, even the unexpected ones. You trust that it's ok to adjust your course as you learn and grow.
You have a big vision that motivates you for the future, but you're not waiting for that future to celebrate your success. Every day you already feel successful, fulfilled, and fired up.
THAT REALITY CAN BE YOURS
GIANT LEAP will guide you to discover and embody:
-
Who you are
-
Your Glorious Purpose (why you're here)
-
What you do (your soul work, not your job title)
-
Your core values
-
Your unique decision-making criteria
-
Future visions that truly inspire you
Through a process of self-awareness, coaching, collaboration, practice, and refinement, you’ll create a personalized, at-a-glance reference that captures all of the above and more so you can connect with your true essence daily, and reconnect whenever you need a reminder of how powerful, unique, and awesome you are.
The more you live it, the more you'll own it, and the more naturally you'll unleash the epic, radiantly alive, shining soul within.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Inside GIANT LEAP you’ll experience:
-
A safe and powerful space to be seen and heard
​
-
Celebrations of your awesomeness
​
-
Perspective shifts and concrete action steps that move you forward
​
-
The clarity, courage, and confidence to embrace your purpose, power, and passion
​​
-
Tangible answers to the most intangible and fundamental questions in the universe: “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?”
PROGRAM FRAMEWORK
🔥Module 1: Foundation
Set intentions for our time together. Celebrate your life journey with your unique Awesomeness Inventory. Grow in self-awareness with the tools of Energy Leadership™, Quantum Human Design™, and the Quantum Alignment System™. Identify where you are (not where you think you should be or where you wish you were) so you can take clear, focused, achievable steps toward where you want to be.
🔥Module 2: NO Muscle Boot Camp
Saying NO isn’t about the thing you’re saying NO to. It’s about liberating your HELL YES. So get ready to exercise your NO muscle. It is a muscle, and it gets stronger with use. In this module you’ll practice saying NO so you can create space to hear the voice of your inner wisdom. In that space you’ll connect with your deepest values and determine your most aligned decision-making criteria.
🔥Module 3: HELL YES Visioning
“Wait, doesn’t visioning usually come first?” Not here. The vision you came in with on Day 1 was limited by your frame of reference on Day 1. The first two modules have expanded your story of what’s possible in your life and in the world. NOW is the time to call in your next-level vision. A vision that fires you up and fills you with passion. A vision that honors the full power of who you are.
🔥Course Checks
Creating sustainable results takes time and practice. After you've completed all three modules, we'll come back together for three course checks over the next six months to celebrate progress, adjust course, and further align your life with who you're becoming.

"From our time together, I came across so many realizations about my current and future self, and Melissa helped me reach some HUGE aha moments: 1) I want to live my life with people like Melissa – anyone who shines their inner light with ease, grace, and joy; 2) with trust, faith, and an alignment with my purpose, I can boldly go wherever life leads; and 3) all of my awesomeness will share its full potential in divine timing.
​
It's hard to describe all my deep admiration, thanks, and appreciation for Melissa’s attention and energy in helping me grow, but I think what she does best is instill hope, love, and clarity in oneself to want to do more. If you’re unsure or hesitant about working with Melissa, I send you the knowing that whatever guided you to her was meant for a reason. She attracts individuals who are ready to take that Giant Leap, and from there, Melissa puts you on the path to create your wildest dreams."

"So often in the past I have felt stuck. I simply didn't know how to break out of the patterns I found myself in. This is a different kind of support than I've received anywhere else, and it's exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Instead of fighting to swim across a rushing river, working with Melissa felt like leapfrogging from step to step. I felt supported, I made forward progress, and it wasn't that hard. I see and understand my past patterns with more compassion, and I'm grounded in newfound hope for my future."

"Without a doubt employing a coach is challenging work, but Melissa's energy and enthusiasm fuel every session. She keeps the work interesting, sourcing the Universe and harnessing real-life situations to build an integrated strategy. I had never worked with a coach before and I can't imagine achieving a fraction of the results I did without Melissa's guidance and support."

MEET MELISSA
Dr. Melissa Corley Carter, The Barefoot Dancing Rocket Scientist, uses basic principles of rocket science to help rockstar humans reclaim their power, own their awesomeness, and take giant leaps of faith.
An actual rocket scientist, 7 continents marathoner, astronaut reject, speaker, award-winning author, and certified professional coach, Melissa will inspire you to celebrate the power of who you are and to ignite your passion for the life you live.
Before becoming a coach, Melissa spent twenty years aspiring to become an astronaut. In pursuit of that goal she earned two engineering degrees from Stanford University, a commission as an officer in the U.S. Air Force, and a PhD in astronautical engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School. Despite perfect vision after corrective eye surgery, her pre-surgical eyesight disqualified her and shattered her astronaut dream.
In the years since, she’s realized that her dream emerged from an intuitive knowing of her spiritual connection with the universe, from a desire to inspire people to greatness the way astronauts had always inspired her, and from the vision of a unified and harmonious world. In her daily dance with the universe now, she's truly living her dream.
​
Melissa is the author and photographer of the award-winning 2021 coffee table book, Running the World: Marathon Memoirs from the Seven Continents, and the companion wisdom card deck, Running YOUR World. In her book she shares her outer journey across the continents and her inner journey of recovering from shattered dreams and realigning her life with powerful purpose. Her wisdom cards will guide you to pause, reflect, align your own life with powerful purpose, and take inspired action toward your dreams.
A retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, Melissa served for 11 years on active duty and 10 years in the reserve. Her active duty assignments included laser test engineering, adaptive optics research and development, satellite acquisitions and operations, and aide-de-camp and executive officer to senior leaders. As a reservist, she served as an executive coach, strategic advisor, and leadership development facilitator.
​
Melissa’s journey has taught her that identity and goals are not synonymous, that even major disappointments hold gifts beyond imagining, and that every experience invites us to take a small step — or a giant leap — into greater alignment with who we really are.
