The Secret Resume
Everybody has an official resume or CV that documents their qualifications and experience. But we also have an unofficial or secret resume that is made up of key people, experiences and places that have influenced how we see the world, what is important to us, and how we approach our work. Our host, Melody Moore is a coach, consultant and practitioner in developmental trauma therapy. Join her as she skilfully encourages each guest to take a deep dive into the untold stories behind successful leaders and entrepreneurs, and uncovers the life-changing moments and personal experiences that don’t make it onto traditional resumes. Each episode brings a fresh perspective as diverse guests share their challenges, successes, and defining relationships that shaped their leadership journeys. This isn’t just about careers—it’s about real, raw human stories that inspire. Whether you’re looking to advance your career, develop as a leader, or gain a deeper understanding of personal growth, The Secret Resume is your key to unlocking success.
