Everyday Leaders with Melahni Ake
Melahni Ake believes that every single person can be a leader in your life. As a child, she spent 12 years on a boys hockey team and learned early the value of having a giving attitude where she contributed to the well being of a team, not just look out for herself.
Melahni started the Everyday Leaders podcast in January 2018 with a 50 in 50 series to celebrate leaders and her 50th birthday. Three months later, she was eliminated from her corporate job, being told she was told she had no value in the company.
