Coaching for Individuals
AKANI offers coaching for individuals who want to lead with more authenticity, navigate change with confidence, and deepen their awareness of self and others.
Our approach is grounded in powerful listening, reflective dialogue, and psychologically informed practice. It’s not about fixing — it’s about exploring what’s true, noticing what’s shifting, and unlocking what’s possible.
Coaching for Teams
We focus on how people work together, make decisions, hold tensions, and bring their best thinking to shared challenges, helping teams build psychological safety and relational trust, while surfacing unspoken dynamics and misalignments. Together, we improve how meetings flow, decisions are made, and responsibilities are shared.
Whether navigating conflict, moving through change, or wanting to collaborate more meaningfully, our sessions create space for the conversations that rarely happen during day-to-day delivery. Sessions are experiential, reflective, and practical — with a focus on both team insight and action.
How We Work
AKANI adopt a relational, humanistic and inquiry-based coaching approach — influenced by frameworks such as narrative coaching, transactional analysis, systemic thinking, and clean language. But most of all, we bring presence, curiosity and care.
This isn’t about giving advice. It’s about partnering with you to uncover your own insight, challenge unhelpful assumptions, and make the changes you choose to make.
We can work online or in person, with individuals, teams, and leadership groups to:
-
Create space to reflect on identity, values, and direction
-
Support transitions — role or personal life changes, promotions, leadership challenges
-
Navigate professional or personal complexity
-
Strengthen emotional intelligence and relational presence
-
Develop your leadership in a way that aligns with who you are
-
Hold space for tension, uncertainty, or stuckness — without rushing to solve
Each session is non-directive, collaborative, and focused on what matters most to you. You lead the agenda — we support the inquiry.
