Tell us about your life before the venture/leading up to your venture?
I’m Melissa LaPlante, quickly becoming known as The Boxless Business Coach & Consultant℠, a globally recognized keynote speaker, author, thought leader, industry expert, and CEO of The CELLF Awareness Project, LLC. A visionary leader, I empower unconventional thinkers to thrive in building authentic, purpose-driven, and socially conscious careers and businesses, guided by my signature philosophy: No Boxes, No Labels, No Limits.
Notably, I earned recognition as an honored listee of the Marquis Who’s Who in America—the original and oldest “Who’s Who” list—before my LLC had even celebrated its first anniversary.
My mission is deeply rooted in my personal journey. Growing up in one of the most dangerous areas in America, I faced significant challenges, including poverty, an unstable and unsafe home life, and surviving s**ual, mental, emotional, and psychological abuse. Undiagnosed as Neurodivergent for 30 years, I navigated a world that often misunderstood my unique way of thinking. Leaving high school at 16 and moving across the country alone at 17, I charted my own path to success—unbound by conventional expectations.
Everything I have achieved—building a thriving business, inspiring others, and becoming a global voice for unconventional thinkers—was accomplished through the very methods I now teach. My lived experience has made me a powerful advocate for those who feel like they don’t fit the mold, proving that authenticity and a purpose-driven mindset can create profound impact and success.
Today, through my coaching programs, change management workshops, business consulting, and global keynote speaking, I equip others to unlock their unique gifts, embrace their authenticity, and create lives and careers or businesses with NO BOXES, NO LABELS, NO LIMITS! With a blend of science, spirituality, and lived wisdom, I help my clients realize that true success lies outside the box—and that’s where they belong.
