20 YEARS HAVE TAUGHT US SOMETHING.
For 20 years, Achievement Enterprises, founded by Dr Rachel Nekati, has helped adults learn, unlearn and develop essential skills in mindset, emotional intelligence, self-leadership and leadership.
Dr Rachel, a Cognitive Psychology & Neuroscience Psychologist, coach, trainer and author, has written four books spanning self-leadership, emotional intelligence, leadership and nutritional intelligence, predominantly for adults.
Across two decades of training, coaching and writing, one truth has become increasingly clear:
“Many of the skills we help adults acquire, correct or relearn could have been nurtured much earlier.”
From Correcting Later, To Equipping Earlier.
This is Why We Created...
JUST AMINA & BEN
Mind Management & Emotional Intelligence for Children and Young People.
Just Amina & Ben makes powerful ideas about the mind, emotions and behaviour simple, practical and engaging for children.
Through relatable stories, colourful illustrations, activities and personal reflection, children begin to explore:
What am I thinking?
What am I feeling?
How is this affecting what I do?
What can I choose next?
Our 20th Anniversary Mission
20 Years, 20 000+ Books, 20 000+ Young Hearts & Minds
As Achievement Enterprises celebrates 20 years of changing people’s lives, we want to mark this milestone by investing in the next generation.
Our goal is to put at least 20,000 Just Amina & Ben books into the hands of children and young people.

For Former Students, Alumni & Individuals
Give Back to Your Primary School — or Any School of Your Choice.
Remember where your story began?
You can put these learning tools into the hands of another generation by sponsoring a class, grade or whole school.
For Schools
Equip Your Students.
Bring practical Mind Management & Emotional Intelligence tools directly into the hands of your learners.
Equip a class, grade, multiple grades or the whole school.
For Parents & Families
Gift a Young Mind.
Give Just Amina & Ben to your children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, godchildren or other young people in your life.

WHY ONE BOOK PER CHILD?
Every child needs their own book because they work directly in it. They write, draw, reflect and complete activities as part of their coaching. It becomes their personal workbook and reflection journal to use, keep and revisit. Mind Management is learned through practice, not just reading.
THINK ABOUT ONE CHILD.
One child holding their own book.
One Child Beginning To Understand:
My thoughts matter.
My emotions matter.
My choices matter.
My values matter.
My goals matter.
Now imagine a class.
A school.
A community.
Now Imagine 20,000+ Young Hearts & Minds.

I am happy to recommend Rachel Nekati as a Coach and Trainer. I first met Rachel 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.
" Rachel has passion for teaching, she is very focused and committed"
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 I was always 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"
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.🙂
Testimonials
" Rachel can be classified as one of the top 5 PDA Analysts that I have ever trained in this methodology."
I had the tremendous honour of meeting Rachel Nekati during September 2020. She attended accreditation in the PDA (Personal Development Analysis) Behavioural Assessment tool, as well as the My PDA Coach (online behavioural coaching tool). I am one of two PDA trainers for the Africa continent and have trained over 800 PDA and My PDA Coach Analysts during my 7 year tenure. I can say with utmost confidence, that Rachel can be classified as one of the top 5 analysts that 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 3 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"
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 practiced and nurtured…for Rachel understands what personal growth means, what personal leadership means, that without internalizing these you cannot grow others, you cannot influence, you cannot lead…
Rachel has this amazing ability to motivate and help others grow, to influence in a positive way, to build and nurture, she derives joy, happiness from seeing others grow and prosper…..As they say, its what makes her “tick”
" A powerful soothing injection "
I've learned life changing lessons from this empowering program. I came to realize that we sometimes exaggerate and make small issues in to big things which causes us unnecessary stress. I feel so empowered and as if I've been given a powerful soothing injection.
Thank You Rachel.
"I am now able to articulate my dream with a clear vision, confidence and direction"
In a noisy world of solutions, guidance and information overload, all without filter, available at one's fingertips, what a perfect time to have a meticulous and grounded voice of reason with Rachel Nekati. A Critical Thinker and Listener, Rachel jealously protects and has personally steered my Creative Mind and empowered me to make my passion a sustainable way of life. I take pride in the fact that in the process of engaging with her excellent service, I am now able to articulate my dream with a clear vision, confidence and direction, a skill i found rather complex and unachiveable prior to engaging with Rachel.
My heartfelt and sincere gratitude for your patience and robust understanding of the world we live in today. I am because you Are. Thank you very much.
"I wish I did this course sooner"
I took this course aiming to empower, inspire and motivate myself moreover Rachel exceeded my expectations. The Course was easy to follow, descriptive and highly interactive. I wish I did it sooner, anyone who wants to effect a positive change in themselves should gift themselves this program.
"I Feel Empowered and Excited About My Future"
I’ve just finished my stress and anxiety on-line self- coaching course by Rachel Nekati and Achievement Enterprises and what an amazing experience this was.
I signed up for the on-line course because everything in my life was just too overwhelming. I was spiraling out of control; I had no control over my stress and anxiety. Prior to starting the course, I was not aware that the symptoms that I was presenting with “feeling panicky and sometimes out of control” were signs of stress and anxiety. These were made clear to me when I commenced with my on-line self- coaching course.
Whilst I was busy with the course, it never felt like I was doing an on-line course – the support that I received from Rachel was amazing, she was with me all the way. It felt like she was physically 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 course has brought peace in 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 is 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 will highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to manage their stress and anxiety better and empower themselves. I’m really amazed and overwhelmed with the changes that I’m seeing in me.
I just want to say, thank you very much Rachel for this life changing course. I wake up every day having a purpose and drive to do the things that I enjoy and love. Thank you for reintroducing me to my life again.
"This Is The Best Course I have Ever Done"
This is the best course I have ever done. I have learnt to acknowledge, recognise and use my emotions where appropriate on a positive
way. As human beings we are created with emotions which in most cases can be a hindrance if they are not properly managed. l am now in a position to understand my emotions and control my feelings, I know what to do with my emotions. I know how to separate emotions from decision making. My life is different.
"I wish I had Met Rachel 20 Years Ago"
It takes only one conversation with Rachel to realise how motivational and inspiring she is. Rachel has the ability to read people and situations immediately therefore able to give sound advice. Her workshops are full of life changing practical solutions to our hectic work and personal life. Rachel leaves you feeling energised, positive and motivated. I highly recommend one to take time to out and attend one of Rachel's workshops. I only wish I had met Rachel 20 years ago! You wont regret talking with Rachel her inspiration gives you so much confidence. Go for it!
" My Life Has Transformed. I am More Focused and Alert"
Nekati through her platform Just Talk with Rachel and her personal development programs has been able to help a lot of people to understand their emotions and manage their thoughts. I have personally benefited from her teachings and I have seen my life transform for the better. I have become aware of my thoughts and emotions and have been able to change my behavior and attitude towards life. Through the positive changes, I am more focused, alert and see results in everything I do.. There is no doubt that Mrs Nekati is committed to making a difference in the lives of other people.
