Igniting insight and engagement for purposeful performance
ABOUT US
Akins & Associates was founded with a single mission: to activate transformation of the leader's heart through insight and engagement. Our vehicles include leadership and team coaching, workshops, training encounters, and retreats.
My associates and I build on a foundation that combines neuroscience with the research of leadership, learning, change, and human performance technology. We approach each individual and organization with fresh eyes to introduce unique and actionable strategies.
WHY WE DO THIS WORK
I believe that what we do makes a difference. I believe that our passions and personal design are our gift to the world.
I also know what it is like to bring your all to the game but feel outside our your sweet spot...to not quite make the impact that you know you could.
The heartbeat of our work is to free people and organizations to be their best. To honor their design and lead in line with their deepest held values.
We do this by unlocking insight and stirring truth in the hearts and minds of leaders, equipping them to lead from the heart and be more who they are meant to be.
