Building Stronger Teams Through Alignment And Collaboration.


Aligned For Excellence


Building Stronger Teams Through Mindset, Alignment, and Collaboration

 

OVERVIEW


High-performing teams do not happen by chance. They are built through intentional alignment.

Coaching Reviews and Feedback

  • Oupa Masesane : Deputy Permanent Secretary, Tertiary Education - MOTE

    I've learned to start with myself if work isn't done. Take advantage of my flaws. Understanding my blind spot areas and how to work with others with different profiles was helpful. We can achieve ministry goals. I know myself, the traits I need to push from the grey circle on the PDA Wheel Chart, and the high and low-intensity traits that may delay my service delivery. I liked that the leader helps us follow his way.

  • Sandra Mokobi : Lecturer - University of Botswana

    Epic Coaching! It was my first experience with intense coaching, and it convinced me that coaching should be part of one's lifestyle because it structures how one lives and keeps you honest and accountable for optimal performance. PDA assessments and matching against colleagues helped us understand and communicate better. The PDA matching of natural and role behaviours revealed where I needed to change to perform well in my role.

  • Eddie Bayen : Director, Technical and Public Sector Accounting Services - BICA

    Executive Coaching helped me learn a lot about myself and how others perceive me. It summed up my personality and explained why I react the way I do. I've learned more about myself and my surroundings because of it. Now that I have a better understanding of people, I pause before responding to their actions to consider why they did it. Rather than simply reacting to their actions, I should think about why they do what they do. Now that I know them better, I'm more patient with my coworkers. I also know how to approach them to achieve team success. Because of my increased self-awareness, my family and friends have benefited from this coaching program as well.

  • Peter Mafokate : Chief Project Officer - MOTE

    It detailed my strengths and weaknesses, which have helped me succeed, and negative behaviours I need to change. It empowers, motivates, and supports successful team building. Team Alignment is a great idea that evaluates team members' behaviour in a large team. It examines a team's architecture and makes strong practical commitments to put the team on a top-tier collective path and create a high-performance culture.

  • Oarabile Sedieng : IT Manager - BICA

    The program taught me how to handle different situations, challenges, and commitments, which improved my self-awareness. It has also helped me get to know my coworkers and how to work with them to help BICA succeed. I now know my personal influence circle. My circle of influence covers issues I can control, while my circle of concern covers issues I can't. The sessions helped me understand my role profile. It showed me where to advocate for my role. The most crucial aspects of these sessions are practicality, the coach's expertise, and honest feedback. It's a tailored program.

  • Cleophas Samusodza - Director Training & Professional Development - BICA

    Leadership Coaching Program participant. A self-awareness questionnaire helped me scientifically evaluate my behaviour. Group and leadership coaching followed. I understood how my traits affected my work and personal life. Applying lessons. This report describes my interventions to address weaknesses.

"Executive Coaching Supercharged My Leadership Journey!"

Executive coaching was the catalyst that unveiled the hidden dimensions of my behavioral profile. It arrived at the perfect moment, illuminating my blind spots and empowering me to relay messages more effectively, especially within my team. The invaluable lessons of self-awareness and emotional control have transformed my leadership style, enhancing my ability to navigate challenges with grace and precision. The interactions during the coaching sessions have been nothing short of invaluable, providing me with profound insights and strategies for growth. I am grateful for this transformative experience, as it has enriched both my professional journey and personal development.

Testimonials

" Rachel can be classified as one of the top 5 PDA Analysts"

Corlia Nel - Psychologist

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!

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”

"I Feel Empowered and Excited About My Future"

- Hlengiwe Faku - CBT Life Coach and Training Consultant

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.

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 of Emotional Intelligence and her impactful delivery has greatly contributed to who I am today.

One of the greatest strengths Rachel has is that of 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 since 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 my 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 organized, planned for my day the day before and that helped me to be more productive at work and life in general ( I actually feel overwhelmed if I dont do that now). My behaviour changed too, I used to feel I am entitled to how I feel (my mood) so that 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 got see the importance of the golden rule - put yourself in someone's shoes, do to others what you would like them to do to you. I learned alot from Rachel and I am grateful for the training I received from her.🙂
