Spotlight on Success Show – Episode 5
Today on my show I had the pleasure of a conversation with Melissa Turner, Founder and CEO of Mainstream Services Medical Billing Inc, on her best strategies for how women can avoid getting trapped beneath a glass ceiling at work.
With over two decades of experience in Corporate America, Melissa understands how tough a work environment it can be for women. But she presents some effective ways for women to move past their circumstances all the way up the ladder to success. In our discussion, I ask Melissa –
- How can a woman truly tell if she has reached the glass ceiling?
- If she hasn’t, what strategies can she use to move forward?
- What can a woman do if she is feeling held back?
- And, why is it so important to build a network around you?
If you would like more information and would like to purchase a copy of Melissa’s book, please visit her website. Enjoy the show!
Thank you Melissa for sharing your valuable insights and taking the time to teach us how to avoid getting trapped beneath a glass ceiling in Corporate America.

Insightful interview with a calm & confident Melissa Turner, who shares solid strategies from her obvious wealth of experience. Lots of this applies to guys too, glass ceiling aside, & it was a total pleasure to listen to her wisdom & expertise. Excellent
Thanks, Grant! Glad you enjoyed the video and topic. I agree that Melissa’s savvy tips can easily be implemented by men in the corporate environment. Like I regularly suggest, we should always take the best nuggets of information out there and customize them to fit our business model to rise to the next level. 🙂 Shannon
