I hate coaches. Sorry. I’ve had such bad experiences with them. But Melanie Sodka isn’t a coach. She’s something special. She gave me insight into to my capacity, something I had NEVER thought about before. She made me actually think about what was important in my life, and gave me the power to resign from the things that really sucked my soul. Resignation is at the center of her philosophy, and it’s brilliant. When we take on too much we aren’t doing what we do best. Sometimes you need to leave things behind to continue on the right path.

Since meeting her my life did a 180. And I could t be happier with the clarity she gave me and guidance. I thought I was happy. But I’ve never felt so free in my life. If you’re looking for someone to guide you in clearing out the clutter of your life, and helping you find the focus to be your best, Melanie is your lady!

Melanie Sodka facilitated a planning session of the Angel One Board of Directors which resulted in a significant makeover of our focus and process. What really impressed me was that while my Board Chair and I met with Melanie and set some structure around the session, when things things started to take change of direction, Melanie adapted and helped crystalize the new directions. Her follow-up notes became the backbone of Angel One’s new process. I am pleased to say I have already referred her services.

Melanie is the consummate professional, with such amazing energy and passion for her work, and thoroughly supported by her technical chops! She as an MC at a recent 4,000 people event, and she not only delivered a comfortable, well-polished, spot-on introduction to my speech, but also to three other speakers on completely different topics. AND I watched her deftly manage, coordinate, and engage the crowd throughout her time on stage. Her flexibility, responsiveness, and as an MC, her concern for both speakers and attendees was palpable in every conversation. I am honored to have shared the stage with her, and look forward to doing so again! You want her MC-ing your stage if you are an event planner. You can turn it over to her with complete confidence that she will cover all of the details required to keep your speakers happy while providing your attendees an enriching experience.

Melanie delivers a compelling keynote address around identifying and respecting personal capacity. Her message appeals to a broad range of demographics and is applicable to people in all stages of life. The EgoCake framework is the perfect way to visualize the idea of capacity and will resonate and serve as a continual reminder when decisions impacting capacity are faced.

Melanie’s passion for coaching is contagious. She brings such vibrant energy that you can’t help but get inspired. Her genuine and warm style is one that immediately makes me feel at ease and comfortable in her presence. She has a keen intuitive sense and is always bang on with what I am experiencing. Just when I think we’ve hit the wall, Melanie forces me to stretch my thinking even further. I would recommend Melanie to anyone who is serious about stepping out of the box and exploring the world of new possibilities.

This course content is directly and immediately impactful on your relationships at work, with your friends and with your family at home. Melanie opened my eyes to what is very clearly the root of successful relationships with everyone in my life. I wish I had known this information years ago. It has made me a better Supervisor, subordinate, friend, husband and father. This is a must!

Participating in Growing Your Soft Skills was a great opportunity to understand and assess a variety of personality styles.  I was able to understand the concepts of emotional intelligence and to be mindful not only with others in my day to day life, but with myself.  This course was truly insightful and provided me skills to better relate with co-workers, the community and family members.  I highly recommend Growing Your Soft Skills to anyone who is looking to improve their relationships and personal growth.  Melanie is an outstanding facilitator and presenter.  This course will challenge you, and will definitely engage you every step of the way.

Melanie gave the keynote speech at our Women’s Leadership Network event in November 2024. She is equal parts insightful, inspiring, engaging, wise, and funny. She gave our group great and usable advice on combating burnout and preserving ourselves. We laughed (and cried) and received so much positive feedback. We cannot say enough about how great Melanie was for our event. Thank you so much, Melanie!

I will be recommending this program or delivery of its messages to the company I work for. The content would we perfect to empower employees at any financial institution!

Allocation of capacity while working from home is critical. Melanie delivers bite size concepts and vocabulary to say no without guilt. Fabulous course!

This course was a life changing eye opening class. It teaches me how to react to things in way I would never do and how to take a step back on my career and focus more on family and reducing burnout.

The best part was the grief session it taught me that it’s ok to grief and it’s ok to not do things the traditional way and for me to share that with a friend and be more open to understand that changes.

The Capacity Course provides attendees with essential tools to help anyone who is looking to improve the quality of their time and recalibrate their priorities. I was able to take stock of how I’ve spent my time, identify what boundaries I needed to establish & shift perspectives to make more beneficial changes.

I enjoyed this Capacity Course so much as it opened my eyes to the conversations I needed to have with myself to become a better version of me. I learned my strengths and weaknesses don’t define me and where I need to create boundaries to ensure I am well.

In October 2024, Melanie was our keynote speaker for our year end team event which included over 100 staff. Although the time we had with Melanie was short, the profound and lasting impact she had on us was immeasurable. Melanie navigated through complex themes with ease while paying appropriate attention to sensitive issues. Melanie was able to successfully master the paradoxical balance of opposing emotions that ranged from hilarious to compassionate, vulnerable to powerful, and anecdotal to factual!
