Engagement Reviews

I learnt how to work on my role profile to match the leadership I come across

- Silas Sehularo: Public Relations Officer

I benefited by getting a lot of clarity on personal traits and unique behaviour.

 - Gosego Pilane, Chief State Counsel and Legal Advisor

It made me aware of my blind spots, and strength and also to think more about the future as opposed to the past, which is not serving us. More importantly, I learned how to buckle up.  How to deal with challenges. To initiate solutions,, not lament problems or justify why things cannot happen. –

It helped me to understand exactly who am I. 

- Oarabile Nkwe. Coordinator of Ministry towards Improvement

It assisted me in discovering myself, knowing that I did not know what I thought I knew about myself

 - Kgangmotse E. KGANGMOTSE- Chief Economist

I've become more self-aware. I have learnt my strengths and weaknesses and have been equipped with skills of balancing myself. The facilitator was high energy and very engaging. I all around had a fantastic experience.

 - Lone Gabalebatse, State Counsel

I have learnt to start with me before I could finger point if work is not done. Identify my weakness and use them to create opportunities. I appreciated knowing my grey areas and how best I can work with others with different profiles. Together we can achieve the objectives of the ministry. –

I know myself fully, the traits I need to push from the grey circle in the PDA Wheel Chart, and the high intensity and the low-intensity traits which may cause delays in my service delivery. I appreciated knowing that the kind of leader helps us align with his way of doing things.

 – Oupa Masesane. Deputy Permanent Secretary - Tertiary Education

It gave me a detailed description of my strengths and weaknesses, which have contributed to my success in a positive manner and also pointed to my negative behaviours, which i need to work on. It is a very empowering, motivating and supportive strategy geared towards building compelling and succeeding teams. Team Alignment is a phenomenal concept that diagnoses the behaviors of each team member in the context of a big team. It also introspect the architecture of a given team and comes up with robust practical commitments to place the team on a collective path of top notch and a high performance culture.

Excellent, I managed to see myself through the eyes of my Team Members. I am looking forward to Emotional Intelligence plus Couple Mentoring when it is offered.

The assessment has exposed my behavioral style.   I now know my area of strength and I know my motivators. It gives the team profile and show areas we need to modify to achieve the best out of our team.

By: Ruth Maphorisa (Director of The Drive PTY LTD)

I am happy to recommend Rachel Nekati as a Coach and Trainer. I first met Rachel back in 2010, delivering a course on Emotional Intelligence, and her impactful delivery has contributed significantly to who I am today. I have known Rachel as a Transformational Leader who has always led by example. One of Rachel's greatest strengths is following through and taking a keen interest in the achievements of her clients/mentees. One notices that all her deliveries are on transformation as opposed to maintenance. These are the qualities of an effective coach/trainer. I have followed her and recently enrolled in her Just Eat Intermittent Fasting Program. Rachel continues to positively transform people's lives with her excellent Coaching and Training work.

"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.🙂

" Rachel can be classified as one of the top 5 PDA Analysts that I have ever trained in this methodology."

By 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 the three day training period. 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!

"Leaders have energy, Leaders are multipliers, Leaders have patience, Leaders are self motivated and they motivate, this describes Rachel"

Neo Bogatsu - CEO - Botswana Insurance Fund Management (BIFM)

Leaders have energy Leaders are multipliers; they have patience Leaders are self-motivated , and they motivate Leaders are influencers Leaders touch lives Leaders have no shame; leaders are visionaries   That’s how I describe and see Rachel Nekati, whom I have known for more than 26years now…. Over the years, I have seen and witnessed all these qualities in Rachel, qualities that are almost natural but are also practised and nurtured…for Rachel understands what personal growth means, what personal leadership means and that without internalising these, you cannot grow others, you cannot influence, you cannot lead… Rachel has this fantastic ability to motivate and help others grow, influence positively, build and nurture; she derives joy and happiness from seeing others grow and prosper…..As they say, it's what makes her “tick.”  

" A powerful soothing injection "

Angelina Ramogobya - Chika - Snr. Assistant Commissioner of Botswana Prisons

A Critical Thinker and Listener, Rachel jealously protected and has personally steered my Creative Mind and empowered me to make my passion a sustainable way of life. I take pride in engaging with her excellent service. I can now articulate my dream with a clear vision, confidence and direction, a skill I found rather complex and unachievable before engaging with Rachel.  My heartfelt gratitude for your patience and robust understanding of the world we live in today. I am because you Are. Thank you very much.

"I Feel Empowered and Excited About My Future"

- Hlengiwe Faku - CBT Life Coach and Training Consultant

I’ve just finished my stress and anxiety online self-coaching course by Rachel Nekati and Achievement Enterprises, and what a fantastic experience this was. I signed up for the online course because everything in my life was just too overwhelming. I was spiralling out of control; I had no control over my stress and anxiety. Before starting the course, I was unaware that the symptoms that I was presenting, “feeling panicky and sometimes out of control, " were signs of stress and anxiety. These were made clear when I commenced my online self-coaching course. Whilst I was busy with the course, it never felt like I was doing an online course – the support I received from Rachel was excellent; she was with me all the way. It felt like she was physical with me holding my hand, readily available when I needed assistance and clarity What have been some of the benefits or take-outs that I’ve gotten from the course:  The course helped me manage my stress and anxiety better  The system has brought peace to my life, I feel quietness on the inside, and I’m very calm  I can now understand my triggers and how to deal with them  The course made me realise that stress and anxiety are not something that I need to face on my own. There are people out there to support me.  I feel empowered and excited about my future  I have taken my life and the purpose I have in this life back I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to manage their stress and anxiety better and empower themselves. I’m amazed and overwhelmed with the changes I’m seeing in me. I just want to thank you very much, Rachel, for this life-changing course. I wake up daily with a purpose and drive to do the things that I enjoy and love. Thank you for reintroducing me to my life again.
