Greg Lowe recently sat down with Leah Akoka, a distinguished entrepreneur and the founder of Wall Street and PeopleEconomics. Her journey is one of resilience, innovation, and the belief in the limitless potential of individuals. From overcoming a life-changing car accident to becoming a leading sales professional and a Master Practitioner in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Akoka’s path to success is inspiring.
Leah Akoka’s story begins at the age of eight when her family immigrated to Australia. This early life experience was transformative for Akoka, who recalls the moment she realized that anything was possible and that she controlled her destiny. This revelation has guided her throughout her career and personal life, fueling her passion for helping others unlock their potential and achieve greatness.
At 18, a car accident derailed Akoka’s plans for university studies. Despite this setback, she turned adversity into opportunity by entering the sales field. She quickly rose to become the number one salesperson at Yellow Pages Australia, demonstrating exceptional skill and determination. Her outstanding performance in sales was just the beginning of a journey marked by continuous growth and success.
In the interview, Akoka discusses her transition from sales into training and management, highlighting how her mastery of NLP played a pivotal role in her career progression. She talks about her significant contributions to Dodo Internet, where she led the people arm and helped shape the company’s culture and growth.
In 2001, Akoka founded Wall Street, and through her innovative PeopleEconomics methodology, she has been able to drive success and foster greatness in others. PeopleEconomics, as she explains, is the backbone of her approach to business and personal development. It emphasizes the potential within every individual and the importance of believing in oneself.
