Mel Lambert is our founder. An experienced strategic facilitator, co-design practitioner and coach, Mel specialises in elevating the voices of lived experience. She is driven by the passionate belief that people are the best designer of their own solutions, given the right conditions and support.

Initially founding Think Human purely as a consultancy, Mel found over the years that people sought her out for coaching and mentoring advice and support. Not only did they seek her out, but she really enjoyed the opportunity to invest in the development of individuals in this way, while supporting the system-level changes that impacted them over on the consulting side of the business!

As result, Mel began her from journey as coach in 2019 and is now a certified Organisational Coach (IECL Level2) and a Tiny Habits™ behaviour coach. She draws on the disciplines of human-centred design, change management (PROSCI™) and Narrative Therapy (Dulwich Centre) to offer 1:1 coaching and group coaching programs for individuals, staff teams and organisations at times of significant transition and change.

Mel’s particular passion lies in supporting people to be intentional about their ‘second half’ of life and work. She is recognised nationally as a thought leader in purposeful longevity and is the driving force behind our sister brand, Life Navigation Lab.
