About Missy
Hello, my name is Missy Riley. I am a Florida resident, a proud dog mom, a children's book author, and I believe fun and laughter are good for the soul.
For over 20 years, I also held various roles in corporate recruiting and talent acquisition (TA), and I helped thousands of candidates to land dream job opportunities. My greatest satisfaction was witnessing individuals thrive in their careers. However, as I worked hard to navigate my own career, I often neglected my personal self-care. In 2017, I began to experience signs of burnout. I suffered from anxiety and exhaustion and by 2018, I had an accident that totaled my car. It took me seven more years to address my personal needs. I had suffered so long, I struggled as a leader and sacrificed the career that I loved and took decades to build. It even became difficult to recognize my own identity outside of a corporate title.
As a result of my experience, I was determined to empower professionals to avoid the painful and costly impacts of burnout and help leaders to support these individuals to create solid teams. I became a certified Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP) and Personal Development and Performance Coach. In 2025, I started my own company, Melissa Riley Consulting. I leveraged my 20 years in talent acquisition and recruiting, and I also became certified in assessment tools that provide powerful insights for transformation.
​​
Burnout only happens when there is misalignment. Therefore, through coaching, consulting, speaking and my fractional talent acquisition/recruiting services, I help both individual professionals and leaders create alignment in all areas of life. By gaining clarity, prioritizing self-care, and implementing intentional personal and professional strategies, my clients thrive.
"If you achieve every academic and professional milestone but you are burned out physically, mentally and emotionally, I would ask, what have you really gained?"
