A Curated Community for Established Experts Ready to Collaborate & Lift Each Other’s Success
You’ve done the work.
You’ve built the business.
You’ve honed your expertise.
But you know that the next level of impact, income, and recognition doesn’t come from sitting behind your laptop or posting more content — it comes from being in the right spaces with the right people.
Welcome to the Rising Tide Collective — a curated, collaborative community for established coaches, experts, service providers and thought leaders who are ready to expand their visibility… unlock high-value opportunities… and rise together inside an uplifting circle of leaders who get it.
This isn’t another noisy Facebook group.
This is your expert-level ecosystem for connection, momentum, and visibility opportunities.
Why The Rising Tide Collective Could Transform Your Business
A rising tide lifts all the boats…
but only when you’re surrounded by the right boats.
Most experts stay stuck because they’re isolated, or surrounded by people who can’t match their speed, their vision, or their level of mastery.

up-leveled, intentional, aligned community designed
to help you:
Spark meaningful strategic alliances, that speed up referrals and cross-promotions
Get seen by aligned audiences, where your ideal clients are searching for solutions like you
Amplify your authority and build trust by "borrowing" the credibility of partners
Accelerate 6-7 figure growth by unlocking proven strategies that's working right now for your peers
Feel supported by peers who are walking a similar path and "get it"
This is where leaders rise — together.

"She Doesn’t Just Connect People; She Curates Spaces Where Everyone Rises Together"
The moment I stepped into one of Melanie’s spaces, everything in my world seemed to open up. It was as if connection itself suddenly had more color, more texture, more possibility. We met in October of 2024, and from that point on it felt like a cascade—summits, speaking spots, podcast conversations, interviews, collaborations I never could have orchestrated on my own. We kept passing opportunities back and forth, introducing each other to powerhouse women building remarkable things, and the whole ecosystem kept expanding in ways that felt organic and generous.
What I love most is how grounded she is in integrity. She doesn’t just connect people; she curates spaces where everyone rises together. She carries this commitment to creating experiences where service providers, clients, and every single person touched by our work feel supported, elevated, and genuinely seen. Being connected with her has been one of those rare gifts that keeps unfolding, and I find myself truly excited for everything we’ll build as we move toward 2026. If you’re considering joining one of her communities, I can say with my whole chest: step in. It’s absolutely worth it.

"If You Value Collaboration as a Serious Growth Strategy, Melanie is Someone You Want in Your Corner."
Melanie is a core growth partner in my collaboration ecosystem. I’ve been growing businesses through connection and collaboration for over 32 years. I’m a natural connector, and most of my biggest opportunities have come from the rooms I’ve been in and the people I’ve partnered with. Very few people truly get collaboration at a high level like Melanie does. From the moment we met in 2020, she’s been one of the top people in my collaboration ecosystem. Not just because she knows a lot of people, but because she’s intentional about who she brings together and why. The introductions are smart, the rooms are curated, and the conversations actually lead somewhere.
Since being in Melanie’s world, I’ve experienced:
* High-quality connections that turn into real opportunities
* Spaces where generosity and ambition co-exist (without ego or weird competition)
* A community that actually plays the long game with relationships and business growth
If you value collaboration as a serious growth strategy, not just a buzzword, Melanie is someone you want in your corner. Her masterminds and communities aren’t just “nice to have”; they’re true leverage.

"Looking to Level Up Your Collaborations? These Mini-minds Are Worth Experiencing"
Melanie Benson’s Mini-Minds and Mixers have quickly become one of my favorite collaborative events. It’s networking on a whole new level. Every time I attend, I walk away feeling uplifted, energized, and deeply connected. I’m making amazing connections that are enriching not only my business, but also my life. It’s a very welcoming and supportive community of six figure leaders, visionaries, coaches, speakers, authors, and podcasters who are sharing similar missions and values. Melanie has a remarkable ability for curating a beautifully aligned group of participants, creating an atmosphere that is both fun and profoundly meaningful.
Everyone in the room is showing up intentionally and genuinely leaning into collaboration. Conversations are flowing effortlessly, and opportunities are emerging naturally because the group is so thoughtfully matched. If you’re looking to level up and want to plug into a circle of high-caliber, heart-centered experts, Melanie’s Mini-Minds and Mixers are absolutely worth experiencing. Each gathering is leaving me feeling inspired, supported, and excited about what’s possible next. I highly recommend joining us in this collaborative opportunity.

"Working with Melanie Through Her Programs and Attending Her Events Has Been Truly Transformational"
The clarity I gained around my lighthouse message — combined with the powerful connections she facilitated — have ignited my visibility in ways I could never have achieved alone.
The introductions she made — and the opportunities that opened up through Melanie's community — helped me gain clarity on my message, own it fully, and amplify it in ways I hadn’t imagined could be possible.
I’ve connected with incredible speakers, coaches, podcast show hosts, and thought leaders, and those relationships have already led to meaningful collaborations, expanded reach, and greater impact. I’m so grateful for the way she champions her people and creates spaces where leaders rise together. The ripple effect of her network has been huge — for both visibility and growth.

The Rising Tide Collective Is Best Suited For Experts ...
Like established coaches, experts, and thought leaders who already have an established business and clear expertise
Who book other high quality experts to teach in their masterminds, interview on their podcasts and speak on their stages
Who conduct business with authenticity, generosity, and high-vibe communication
Ready to be active in rooms that stretch and elevate them
That recognize aligned connections + strategic visibility = exponential growth
Committed to making a big impact, and big income.
Would benefit from joining a community to access the right network built by me (and my 20+ years of building a “million dollar visibility network.”)
The Rising Tide Collective Is Not A Good Fit Right Now If You Are...
Still figuring out what you do in business (or you’ve just gotten started and don’t have any audience or reach built yet)
Unsure of your niche, message, or expertise
Looking for a place just to "work the room" and sell to other members
Expecting collaboration opportunities without contribution and reciprocity
Wanting free visibility or instant results without building win-win-win relationships
Practice any type of deceptive, manipulative or otherwise questionable marketing practices
Are more interested in live masterminds or customized 1:1 coaching (ask me about my Built To Lead Mastermind.)
We protect the vibe and quality of this container — because the magic is in the people. And people tend to collaborate with other people that they know, like and trust.
A Little Bit About Me
Hi friend, I’m Melanie Benson. I’ve been building my business through the rising tide effect of aligned collaboration since 2002, at which point I realized that joining forces with other influential leaders in my space was the fastest way to grow.
By supporting each other — sharing audiences, promoting each other’s offers, and creating win-win opportunities — I quickly expanded my reach, filled my programs, and multiplied my revenue in ways I could never have done alone.
Over time, I built what I now call my Million-Dollar Visibility Network — a circle of aligned, trusted partners that continues to compound the ROI of visibility and strategic alliances over and over again.
Today, I’m known as The Authority Amplifier, host of Amplify Your Success (a Top 1% podcast), and a coach who helps established experts become the Un-Ignorable Leader in their industry. My long-time clients would say that I’m part woo, part strategy, and 100% about aligned success without the hustle.
On a personal level, I live just outside of Los Angeles in the hills above Malibu, California with my hubby, two bonus sons, and two fluffy fur babies. On a sunny day, you’ll find me at the beach with a lavender and honey latte, or having a catch up with one of my local pals. I’m a bit of a coffee snob, and pretend that I’m a gourmet paleo chef.
But you’ll get to know that side of me inside The Rising Tide Collective!
Here’s What The Rising Tide Collective Can Unlock For You...
Imagine attracting ideal clients, speaking opportunities and exclusive visibility because you are part of a Collaboration Ecosystem where your network leads to aligned, potent opportunities.
In today's economy, being an active part of a community of high-vibe catalysts who are growing and expanding through strategic alliances is your best growth short-cut.
Here's why...
Trust Is An Essential Currency
People are 70% more likely to buy from someone to buy when it's a referral from someone they already trust. Your alliance partners can shorten the buying cycle as you become part of their trust circle.
Top Hosts Invite Guest Experts They Know
As podcasts continue to grow in popularity, podcast hosts turn to those that they already know, like and trust in their network. The fastest way to fill your podcast guesting and speaking slots is through an aligned community of experts.
Access to Behind The Scenes Strategy
One of the most valuable perks of being in The Rising Tide Collective is the generous spirit of successful people who share what's working (and what's not) as well as connect you to valuable resources.
