What type of leader do you work best with?
At Achata Coaching, we work best with leaders who are humble enough to learn, grow, and change. We’ve found the best success helping task-oriented leaders find people skills, and task-oriented organizations find ways to develop their executive leaders to their fullest potential. We’ve also found success helping people-oriented leaders learn to talk straight and practice accountability.
We do this through coaching and development workshops, executive retreats, and team coaching for Leaders, Teams, Organizations, and Faith Based Leaders.

Do you offer life coaching services?
No. Our focus is on executive leaders within an organization. In our work coaching leaders, we see personal issues come up regularly. Part of the leadership coaching process is to coach the person, not just the problem.
Therefore, we help leaders work through any personal questions that may be impacting their performance in the workplace. If we can help an individual get healthy and focused, their leadership development will improve.

What does your program look like?
We don’t have a program. We have a process for team development and executive leaders.
- First, we listen to discern your needs.
- Second, we provide solutions and co-create a program that will work in your context.
- Third, we meet your outcomes.
Some organizations simply need an executive strategy offsite to get clear on vision, values and strategy. Others need a full-on leadership development program. These programs combine fun and interactive training with follow-up systems to ensure participants apply what they learn.

I’m interested in finding the right service, how do I know what is best for me or my business?
Click here to schedule a 30- or 60-minute consultation. We would be happy to meet you. 30-minute consultations are enough time for individual leaders to share their goals and learn what kind of process we might create to follow.
This shorter timeframe is also enough time for a leader to share the context of the team they are leading and begin a discussion on creating an executive offsite experience. Sixty-minute sessions are needed for leaders of organizations who want to explore creating a leadership development program.
