Who is Who
Melissa Hausmann is a multiseven-figure business coach and former Executive Director who empowers coaches to transform their expertise into premium, scalable offers. Known for her strategic clarity and client-centered approach, she helps entrepreneurs break through income plateaus, build repeatable sales systems, and create businesses that honor both ambition and well-being. Her leadership is rooted in two decades of corporate, educational, and entrepreneurial experience.
There is a moment in every leader’s life when clarity arrives in a way that cannot be ignored. For Melissa Hausmann, that moment came on an ordinary day when she found herself overwhelmed by the demands of a prestigious corporate role, sitting quietly as her three-year-old son climbed into her lap and whispered that everything would be okay. That small voice awakened a truth she had long suppressed. A life defined by eighty-hour workweeks, never-ending pressure, and the slow erosion of personal well-being was never the version of success she envisioned for herself or her family. It was in that moment that Melissa decided her life’s work would be built with intention, not exhaustion, and with purpose rather than pressure. Today, she stands as a multiseven-figure business coach, a transformational educator, and a guiding force for aspiring entrepreneurs who want a life that feels as good as it looks.
The Visionary Leader
At the helm of Melissa Hausmann, LLC, she guides coaches and consultants to step into their fullest potential with clarity, confidence, and alignment. What began as a personal pursuit to reclaim her life became a thriving global business that empowers women to break free from the $3K to $5K plateau and step into consistent $10K to $20K months. Her programs are built on the belief that revenue should not be accidental. As Melissa often reminds her clients, “You don’t have an income problem. You have a no-system, all-hustle problem.” Her framework replaces chaos with structure and replaces guesswork with strategic clarity. Instead of chasing every trend, tool, or tactic, her clients learn to build a business that is intentionally designed to support their income goals as well as their energy and personal priorities.
Clients regularly praise the speed and precision of her coaching. One described her fifteen-minute laser session as being filled with immediate, high-value action steps that shifted everything. Another emphasized how Melissa’s expertise transformed her visibility and engagement on LinkedIn, tripling her post traction and helping her confidently step into her identity as a leader. Another business owner reflected on Melissa’s insight during a discovery call, sharing that her pricing advice alone changed the trajectory of her business. These accounts reveal a consistent pattern. Melissa’s blend of clarity, care, and strategic rigor allows her clients to rise faster than they ever believed possible.
Educational Leadership Mastery
Before building her high-ticket coaching brand, Melissa spent more than twenty years forging a powerful career in education and executive leadership. For nearly a decade, she served as a corporate Executive Director within Stride Inc., one of the country’s largest online education organizations. During her tenure, she led multiple schools across Oregon, including Insight School of Oregon, Cascade Virtual Academy, and the Destinations Career Academy of Oregon. She oversaw programs, budgets, academics, and compliance while directing teams across kindergarten through twelfth grade. Her leadership was defined by a commitment to data-driven instruction and a belief that systems create stability.
Those who worked alongside her frequently describe her as a mentor who balances professionalism with genuine compassion. A former direct report spoke of her as a caring, present leader who provided guidance, encouragement, and clarity during pivotal moments in her career. Under Melissa’s leadership, student achievement increased, career pathways expanded, dual-credit opportunities strengthened, and graduation outcomes improved. Another colleague admired her ability to blend business strategy with educational expertise, emphasizing how she consistently motivated teams to deliver excellence. Melissa’s approach to leadership is rooted in service, listening, and the conviction that everyone deserves a pathway to success.
A Career Built on Vision and Resilience
Melissa’s dedication to education began long before her corporate executive years. She spent nine years at Ashbrook Independent School where she served as Principal, Assistant Principal, Director of Development, and an elementary educator. Earlier roles at the Oregon Virtual Academy allowed her to deepen her understanding of online learning systems, academic design, and school-wide administration. These experiences provided a foundation not only for her leadership in education but also for her entrepreneurial philosophy. She learned that clarity is what propels growth and that leaders rise when they are willing to focus on what truly moves the needle.
This clarity informed the heart of her coaching business. As she often tells her clients, “Your next level is not hiding behind more effort. It’s waiting behind more clarity.” Her own journey reflects this truth. When she stopped building her coaching business on overwork and started building it on aligned strategy, everything shifted. Her first ten-thousand dollar month did not come from posting more but from simplifying her offer, refining her messaging, and stepping into the identity of a premium coach.
Educational Journey and Expertise
Melissa’s academic background mirrors her commitment to lifelong learning. She earned her Master’s degree in Education and Business from the University of Oregon, bringing together the perfect balance of theory and practical leadership. She later completed advanced administrative and superintendent licensure programs at Concordia University Chicago and Portland State University. Her education provided the foundation for her years as a school leader while also strengthening her business acumen as she transitioned into full-time entrepreneurship.
Impact, Influence, and Leadership Philosophy
Melissa is a trusted mentor to thousands. With a social presence of more than eight thousand followers, she shares powerful insights that help entrepreneurs understand the heart of sustainable, high-income growth. Her posts resonate deeply because they are honest, grounded, and drawn directly from her own lived experiences. In one of her most widely shared messages, she writes, “People don’t pay for your time. They pay for your conviction.” This principle guides the work she does inside her programs, where she helps clients build offers that reflect their true expertise. Another message that continues to strike a chord among her audience is her reminder that “Pricing isn’t about affordability. It’s about alignment.”
Her clients consistently describe her as supportive, strategic, and deeply invested in their success. One executive coach shared that Melissa helped her transform her storytelling into actionable content that consistently earns reposts and engagement. Another praised her as a leader who inspires confidence while providing step-by-step clarity. These testimonials reflect not only Melissa’s expertise but also her heart for helping others rise.

Her programs, including Revenue By Design, the High-Ticket Offer Lab, and her private coaching containers, are designed to help coaches step into their next level with confidence, clarity, and strategic systems.

You need to be seen as the coach worth investing in.”
