Know Yourself. Know Your Partner. Know Your Family. Be Happier!

Personality differences can be used to make relationships stronger.


This behavioural assessment intervention aims to assist couples and families acquire a better understanding of their own emotions, behaviours and ideas, which they are often unable to express in an everyday setting.


Why is Behavioural Self- Awareness Important?

In every relationship, challenges and problems typically arise. These challenges can make or break relationships. 

On the contrary, personality and behavioural differences can be used to make the relationship stronger when identified on time. Without self-awareness, both parties might give up on fixing their issues.

Problems vary in reasons, causes, and severity. To understand each other better, personal and family self-awareness is critical, and this can be achieved through our Personal Development Analysis (PDA) behavioural assessment.

What is PDA Behavioural Assessment?

PDA is a powerful online behavioural assessment tool that, through a simple, accurate and scientific methodology, allows you to describe, understand and analyse your behavioural profile, personality and that of your family.  

Rachel helps people improve their self-awareness as a life coach, cognitive-behavioural coach, PDA analyst, and transformational trainer. Rachel has real-life practical experiences that she incorporates into her coaching interventions, having been married for 27 years and the mother of two young adults.


Couples and families can lessen issues, settle disagreements, and overcome hurdles by increasing self-awareness.

How can Couples and Family Behavioural Assessment Help You?

Self Awareness is essential if a couple of family wishes to revive their relationship but do not exactly know how they will start resolving their seemingly unending issues and differences by themselves. 

Why Achievers  Couple and Family Behavioral Assessment?

1.  Determine and specify behavioural patterns and help you do something about it 

2. Through PDA behavioural analysis,  a life coach and PDA analyst can help specify behaviours, personalities and attributes in both parties’ conduct and reaction towards certain situations.

3. Once these patterns are analysed and assessed, the parties involved can better understand how they will react next time an issue arises, not to amplify the problem further.

4. The PDA behavioural assessment will create a more accurate picture of the individual is – It is common for individuals to develop expectations regarding the other person's personality and behaviour.

4.  While it is OK for individuals to hope that their partners become better persons, their relationship should not suffer because of misunderstandings caused by disappointments, which might have been eliminated if they had been more aware of the other person's individuality.  

5. This heightened self-awareness can help both parties see the positive aspects of the relationship and, most importantly, their partners.

6. The assessment will also determine tendencies that affect the relationship and develop an action plan to improve. Many relationship problems are brought about by unproductive habits such as not listening, interrupting while the other is speaking, or talking too much that the other person loses the privilege of talking back. The PDA assessment will identify a range of behaviours, both exceptional ones and those that need improvement. 

The PDA has been scientifically verified to have a 90% reliability rate, has ISO9001 certification, meets US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission requirements and has been internationally validated by the American Institute of Behavioural Psychology.

"Rachel Can Be Classified As One Of The Top 5 PDA Behavioural Analysts That I Have Ever Trained In This Methodology. " - Corlia Nel : Psychologist

I had the tremendous honour of meeting Rachel Nekati in September 2020. She attended accreditation in the PDA (Personal Development Analysis) Behavioural Assessment tool and the My PDA Coach (online behavioural coaching tool). I am one of two PDA trainers for the African continent and have trained over 800 PDA and My PDA Coach Analysts during my seven-year tenure. I can confidently say that Rachel can be classified as one of the top 5 analysts I have ever trained in this methodology. Her natural ability to connect to, and understand behaviour, has astounded me! It’s not just her technical skills that impressed me; she was a joy to work with because of her amazingly positive attitude and detailed, thoughtful questions, which allowed for open and constructive discussions throughout our interactions during training. Rachel has been welcomed to the PDA-Africa family, and although she feels that we blessed her with a new skill, I think it is us who have been blessed by having her become a Gold Partner!

" Rachel has passion for teaching, she is very focused and committed"

by Pascaline Sefawe - Deputy CEO

I have known Rachel Nekati for over 20 years. I met her at the University of Botswana in 1992 when we started our BCom degree. I found Rachel very energetic and committed to her school work. We used to study together and were constantly amazed by her quest for success, especially at such a young age. Our relationship continued building throughout the university; the highlight of that was when she started her training business. She did training for my team on emotional intelligence and me. This training changed my life and the way I do things in life. I became more self-aware and self-motivated. Rachel impacted my team and me significantly, and I thank her. Rachel later introduced me to the IF lifestyle, a fantastic lifestyle which I have adopted since 2018. Rachel has been my IF coach since then and has had a very positive impact on the way I relate to food. I have successfully lost weight because of her excellent coaching and teaching skills. In summary, Rachel has a passion for teaching; she is very focused and committed. She puts all the effort into everything she does and impacts positively on everyone she interacts with. Rachel has the right energy!

"I am in Control Of My Emotions and Feelings"

Merrilyn Cathy Thuso - Operations Manager DMSS

Having Rachel as my coach was one of the best things that happened to me last year. Her course changed the way I see life. Though it was focused on work, her lessons can also be applied in every aspect of our lives. I started being more organised and planned for my day the day before, which helped me be more productive at work and in life ( I feel overwhelmed if I don't do that now). My behaviour changed too; I used to feel entitled to how I felt (my mood), which made it difficult for my colleagues to work with me sometimes, I guess even people in my life🤔 but anyway, I got to learn to manage my feelings. I learned how to resolve conflict, and from all this, I saw the importance of the golden rule - put yourself in someone's shoes, and do what you would like them to do to others. I learned a lot from Rachel, and I am grateful for the training I received from her.🙂

Know Yourself. Know Your Partner. Know Your Family. Be Happier!

Self Awareness is important if a couple of family wishes to revive their relationship but do not exactly know how they will start resolving their seemingly unending issues and differences by themselves.
