Melynda S. Benlemlih, MA
Founder & President, Cognitive Agility, LLC
I believe that our success or failure at work is a result of what we choose to focus on every day. I enable groups and leaders to develop strategies, goals, and implementation tactics that result in improved focus for themselves, their teams, and their organizations. My specialty is in designing and facilitating off-sites, workshops and meetings utilizing interactive and graphic approaches to foster creativity and innovative thinking.
I have over 20 years of experience helping organizations in the public and private sectors, both domestic and abroad, and have facilitated hundreds of programs and meetings for clients in a variety of expertise areas. I provide ongoing support in the areas of stakeholder communications, education and training, performance management, and measuring progress toward meeting goals.
I received my Master’s degree from The Ohio State University in Organization and Workforce Development, Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and International Studies/Chinese from Bowling Green State University, Specialization in Design Thinking for Innovation from the University of Virginia Darden School of Business and Co-Active Coach Training from the Coaches Training Institute.
About our Logo
Cognitive Agility's logo uses a tree as a metaphor, its branches representing the structures of the brain and the gears illustrative of the complex inner workings of the mind. We work with clients to move the gears and achieve breakthrough thinking!
Testimonials
"Melynda organized some very effective sessions for my team preparing for a strategic planning off-site. I was impressed not only with her grasp of the issues the team was facing, but also with the thoroughness and considerations she made while preparing and executing. While facilitating a very creative workshop, she got a usually-skeptical audience to open up. The post-workshop materials and deliverables were actionable, relevant, and "shovel-ready" for incorporating into our future work."
VP, Business Development
"First, let me begin by saying thank you, Melynda. Not only did you prove to be an invaluable coach, but you were also a mentor, friend and confidant during what was a difficult period in my professional life. There is a saying that there is strength in numbers and working with you, I felt like I had an armada of personal cheerleaders and business mentors behind me and walking alongside me- and you were all of them wrapped into one! I cannot thank you enough for your time, dedication, encouragement and energy. You were my partner in this and I will always be thankful to have met and collaborated with you."
Assoc. Dir. Operations
“Melynda did an excellent job addressing each participant’s specific goals while keeping it interesting to the group as a whole. She is impeccably professional, courteous, and gracious. She has a very warm and
productive approach to each group member and her colleagues.”
