Dr. Melody A. Cofield

For more than 20 years, I have worked with individuals, families, communities, and organizations to help capture the legacies of ordinary people doing extraordinary things. I created Lifetime Coaching---a style of coaching that integrates coding and decoding your life story as a way to understand your inner landscape and life purpose. I am a lifetime coach helping people live a legacy life - one that touches, moves, and inspires others.

I became a personal historian after years of conducting oral histories to capture the history of some of Rochester's most extraordinary people. Each person touched my life as they shared the richness of their own. I believe stories are our access to the best of humanity and to healing the broken parts of it.

After earning my M.B.A., I started a career in marketing working with Fortune 500 companies. I earned my doctorate in Leadership Education to understand what thwarts and empowers human potential. In the process, I discovered Social Capital...the elements of human bonding.

I am the prinicipal founder of Divar, Inc., a Lifetime Story Production Company. I am a coach, consultant, author, speaker, mother, daughter, sister, cousin, second-cousin, aunt, grandmother, sister-in-law, entrepreneur, and more living a legacy life!
