Welcome to a HEART-LED approach to marketing and running your business
It's time to radically rebalance how we work and do business. Our precious planet is tired and so are the people on it. Heart Leaders offers workshops, events and marketing consulting services that focus on building relationships and looking after your inner well 'being' as much as strategic 'doing' - for truly sustainable success.
Upcoming Workshops and Offerings
I invite you to experience a heart-led approach - where success flows through connection, collaboration and looking after our energy.
We've been conditioned to believe that success requires endless growth and that if we're not busy, we must be doing something wrong. Yet the introduction of AI and the saturation of social media is changing how we work and promote our business.
Learn how to navigate these changes in a way that works for you.
Hi, I'm Melissa Irace
Self proclaimed Business Hippy - peace, love and prosperity baby!
With over 30 years experience supporting regional economies and hundreds of small businesses, I am now a university lecturer and mentor, specialising in marketing, business start-ups and entrepreneurship. I am also an intuitive empath, and having spent 25+ years (and thousands of hours) devoted to deep inner work, connection to nature and spiritual growth, I share ways that people can change the energy of their business and their outer world.
Let's be the change we wish to see in the world.

Which one would you choose?
The way we work is inextricably linked to how we approach life in general. Our businesses are a mirror of our own belief systems, mindset and energy. Running your business can be a passionate and fulfilling journey - where you enjoy the highs and see setbacks as opportunities for growth - or a rocky road filled with obstacles.
I offer experiences, guidance and tools that I hope will empower you to feel:-
If you’re seriously weirded out by what feels like a digital takeover of how we connect and market our businesses, then I offer a different way. Not so much AI as HI (Heart Intelligence!)
You're not alone
Staying motivated and on top of everything when you run your own business can feel very lonely and stressful - especially when you’re just starting out or navigating change.
Procrastination creeps in, and it’s easy to get stuck, unable to see the bigger picture. Sometimes you just need a person to bounce ideas off, to help you recalibrate, or assure you that you're on the right path.
"Melissa's passion and energy for all things 'business' shines through this course. I benefited from her guidance, wisdom and enthusiasm greatly and I have already taken important steps to promote myself and my services.
I have realised how important it is investing my time 'a little and often' with regards to what I previously viewed as the mountain of marketing. Growing my business is my responsibility and with Melissa's support I am finding more pleasure and positivity in this role. I can hand on heart recommend."
Kat, Therapist
"Melissa’s strengths are gentleness, experience and bringing people together and I really valued having dedicated time to spend on my business, learning business & marketing frameworks and connecting with like-minded people.
I feel much more motivated and supported, especially being able to co-work with people that were also on the programme. From the very first session, I felt seen, heard, and deeply supported. The space was filled with genuine connection, soulful conversation, and practical insight that truly resonated with my values."
