Co-Founders
Mind Change Consulting brings together two different professional backgrounds with one shared belief: meaningful growth happens when people become intentional about how they lead, communicate, and connect with others.
Christopher and Melanie Witkowski combine decades of experience in leadership, law enforcement, nonprofit management, public relations, organizational leadership, and community service with professional training in leadership and marriage development.
Christopher brings nearly 30 years of law enforcement experience, including service as a Chief of Police, along with extensive experience leading teams, developing people, navigating difficult situations, and serving communities. Melanie brings her experience as a nonprofit Executive Director, with a background in organizational leadership, public relations, community engagement, and developing relationships that move organizations forward.
Together, we are members of the Certified One Extraordinary Marriage 6 Pillars of Intimacy Coaches and Chris is a member of the Maxwell Leadership Certified Team, which allows us to bring proven frameworks to the real-world experiences that have shaped us as leaders, professionals, and a married couple.
Our philosophy is simple: we don't believe growth comes from having everything figured out. It comes from being willing to learn, have meaningful conversations, take intentional action, and keep growing.
Whether we're coaching an individual, working with a couple, developing a leadership team, facilitating a Mastermind, or speaking to an audience, our goal is to create an experience that is practical, personal, and focused on growth that continues long after our time together.
Lead well. Love well. Live intentionally.
