Episode #127 - The Value Of A Best Friend: An Interview With Melody Taylor

There is no denying the importance of building relationships with others, especially ones that you can sincerely trust with being able to be there when there are good and bad times. Trusting someone with the utmost importance is key to also becoming the best version of yourself, as you give yourself permission to unlock the hidden potential that you otherwise would never see and have a "sounding board" when difficult conversations need to be had. Wrapping up our month of recognizing individuals that have positively contributed to the start of this podcast, along with the coaching business, Your Speaking Voice LLC, Melody Taylor, a personal best friend of our podcast host, joins us to discuss what it means to not only go through life with three amazing kids, but how being able to help others in their greatest time of need has been a life-changing experience for herself. The importance of having "a bestie" cannot be understated enough, even if that person is there to encourage you to keep going through, no matter what life may throw at you.Guest BioMelody was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Cumberland Valley School District, Melody has held multiple administrative positions throughout her career. Presently she is wrapping up supporting parents and their students that attend Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA), a K-12 Public Cyber Charter School located in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Melody has navigated a variety of different types of situations which include but are not limited to the diagnosis of her brother as autistic, and lingering symptoms of a concussion suffered as a teenager. Throughout her life, Melody’s beliefs about herself were always dictated by what others said and accommodating to their requests. Her recent discovery of her latent abilities have evolved her to provide inspiration to others that seek to find out what they are capable of achieving by having actionable goals and a plan in place to stay accountable. Melody has raised three beautiful children named Lissy, Logan, and Lilianna.Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Melody.Joy.da.SilvaToastmasters International -Home (https://www.toastmasters.org) - Toastmasters is an international organization that has allowed many of my guests to be on the show through personal and professional connection, combining all kinds of different types of communication and leadership development.
