Built to Lead 2026 Women’s Summit – Power, Progress & Presence in the Built Environment: Break Out session 3: Career Longevity in the Built Environment

Presented by Melissa Churchard Hannon, a certified executive coach and leadership development expert.

With over two decades in leadership development and eight years as an executive coach, Melissa has empowered hundreds of women and organizations to build authentic confidence, command executive presence, and rise into leadership on their own terms.

When she not coaching or consulting, she is a mother of four, pushing her limits as a competitive runner, and finding balance in the saddle as an equestrian.

Are you doing it all-but losing yourself in the process?

Melissa is the author of UNSCRIPTED: How Women Holding It All Together at Home, at Work, and Inside Can Start Choosing Themselves Again is a transformative guide for high achieving women who appear successful on the outside but feel stretched thin on the inside.

Whether you’re leading in a male-dominated workplace, managing a household, or juggling both, the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations can quietly erase your sense of self.

You’re following an invisible script-one that tells you to work harder, stay grateful, and never complain. But what if that script isn’t yours?
