Leading from Every Angle with Special Guest: Dr. Miki Edwards

Jeremy Melton & Maddie Atkinson Season 1 Episode 20

What is your Impact?

What does it really take to lead with impact—at work, at home, and in your community? In this powerful episode, Jeremy Melton and Maddie Atkinson sit down with educator and nonprofit leader Dr. Miki Edwards for a conversation filled with wisdom, warmth, and wit.

From her early days as a 7th-grade teacher to her time as a high school principal and now as the Executive Director of The Wheelhouse, Dr. Edwards shares what it means to motivate others, build trust, and plant seeds of impact that ripple across generations.

You’ll hear about:

  • Her three-legged leadership philosophy
  • Why transformational and servant leadership go hand-in-hand
  • Hilarious (and heartwarming) senior pranks
  • The challenges (and beauty) of guiding over 1,000 students and staff
  • How every great leader must be willing to lead from the front, side, and back

This episode is a reminder that leadership isn’t about the spotlight—it’s about enriching the soil so others can grow.
