Leadership is a skill.
 
 
I believe the greatest business opportunity lies in imagination and reimagination. From this belief, revolutionary ideas are ignited, and creativity happens.
The highest understanding the most informed humans have on most subjects is at the elementary level. - Not because brilliant minds do not exist, but rather because we cannot keep up with the speed of change - within ourselves, in others, and around us. Therefore, we must push the envelope and grow fast.
However, we have made more progress in understanding and improving robots than in reimagining how to hone critical human abilities and skills, such as vulnerability, empowerment, and leadership. In this era, our opportunity is to imagine and reimagine, not recreate and add.
More of something is more, not necessarily better.
Each of us will leave a stitch in the fabric of humanity. Together, we will make an imprint.
Welcome to the new era!

Coaching... A Better YOU.

Coaching is a series of meaningful conversations that enable insightfulness, unlock opportunities, and enable transformation.

I do not offer a prescribed blueprint or suggest a predetermined path. We grow by knowing ourselves, learning from others, and charting our course.

Growth, not perfection, is the goal. The ultimate value of coaching is growth, knowing yourself, and meeting the capable person you are that you might have never known existed. 

Growth is often challenging. However, coaching need not be morose. It is an opportunity to dream and realize your dreams.

Leadership... A critical skill.
Leadership is not an announcement or a serendipitous proclamation. – It is a skill.
Many leaders fail due to a lack of know-how and understanding.
Today, organizational leadership often boils down to meeting targets and not breaking the law. While vital questions such as “How do I know if I am a good, great, or inadequate leader?” remain unanswered.
Furthermore, many organizations do not adequately equip leaders to perform successfully. The effect on the individual and organization is dire!
Is this your story?
If so, it doesn’t have to be!
Rather than settle for mediocrity, equip yourself. Become the leader others need.
Culture... The Glue.
Wherever two or more reside, a culture exists.
If you want to cultivate the right culture to drive your business forward, let’s talk!

Culture is everywhere. The impact of culture cannot be overstated.  And every organization has a culture, whether created intentionally or haphazardly.

We experience it in what is said or left unsaid.
We see it in what is done or omitted.
And we know it by observing what is condoned or rejected.

To enable success, behavior must align with beneficial beliefs and principles.

In organizations, leadership development is essential to building a healthy culture and fulfilling the mission. – It is critical to setting goals, meeting goals, growing, and sustaining growth.

Culture is set at the top but spreads from the bottom.

Strategy... The Roadmap.

 

Great organizations pursue a robust strategy, and what they are truly after is synergy. However, neither is found in a Rubik’s Cube, a crystal ball, a framework, or a toolkit. 

Synergy is the outcome of aligning an effective people strategy with a compelling business strategy. When this exists, leaders recognize it, employees know it, and customers feel it.

A robust strategy enables synergy. Does your organization have synergy, and is your strategy enabling you to reach your desired destination?

What People Say About Us

“When Aké Satia shared the great news that she had written a book, I was elated because each time I consulted with Aké I always wrote copious notes to help me capture as much as I could from this wise soul, a friend, and a sister. In her book “Adversity Brings Balance,” Aké Satia invites the reader to her professional and personal experiences that help to unleash knowledge, meaning, and tools for self-understanding. While I believed that I had a good enough understanding of myself, the twists and turns in life pushed me to look deeper to find my true self. On this journey, Aké has lifted me, supported and cheered me on by her honesty, love, and professionalism. Her voice and skill to articulate complex situations with clarity and simplicity for comprehension are golden! Adversity Brings Balance is an important resource for me as I continue on my journey, where I am now attentive to identifying my superpowers, excited to thrive and stay courageous to allow my God-given unique gifts to blossom. Thank you, Jessie, for bringing Aké into my life as a friend and coach and inspiring this amazing book!”
