“Empowered clients trusting themselves beyond what they thought possible creating exponential results”
After paying for college working in restaurants, I started at a boutique staffing agency as an office manager. Promoted to recruiter, then talent and account manager, I helped grow a 500-plus candidate roster with a 40 percent temp-to-hire conversion rate.
To fund my post-graduate studies, I worked in The George Washington University (GWU) budget office, supporting the CBO and preparing board of trustees presentations functioning as a junior analyst.
At GWU, I launched The Oshun Project, a nonprofit idea born as a Howard University undergrad. As executive director, I raised funds and partnered with engineers to install a solar-powered water filtration system in Camp-Perrin, Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake and cholera outbreak. It serves 10,000 to 15,000 people a year. That project led me to coaching.
I invested two years in a leadership development program to expand my skills. Today, I bring staffing, budgeting, fundraising, sales, and project leadership to every client engagement.
“You've been the most effective coach I've ever had in the course of my career. I like the group structure, the safety and intimacy you were able to create, and how you hold us accountable within the meeting and from meeting to meeting. I like your straightforward and honest approach. And you're a very skilled facilitator in general, but also specifically around the inclusion of people of differing cultures, races and backgrounds. I look forward to Chief meetings because of you and it is because of you that I continue to sign up for Chief. I would not do so if you were not the coach and if it were not for our group that we have developed. If Chief desires member loyalty they will really be attentive to who their coaches are and how they show up in the Core group space.”
General Manager and VP
“Sometimes you're just stuck in the mud, spinning your wheels, wishing for a magic wand to shift into higher gear. That's when Akeisha appears with her fairy toolbox—transforming you from an overwhelmed thinker into a bold, clear operator of your own life. ”
Global VP of Marketing
“As an executive coaching client, I felt listened to and understood, as well as deeply challenged to step outside my perspective and to broaden the range of tools in my kit. Our work together has focused on general skill development related to my role, and on specific issues, in some instances resulting in 5-6 figure savings for the foundation. Alongside her own professional experience, Akeisha also brings excellent resource recommendations from a wide variety of disciplines and subjects that have been both practically useful as well as perspective shifting. I would highly recommend her as an executive coach and management consultant to any person or organizations eager for transformative results and willing to receive honest feedback.”
COO/VP of Impact
“My team was the highest performing team (in my company) in 2023 and we are way ahead of our financial goals this year. We already exceeded our $16M contract acquisition goal and are at $17.6M going into Q4! Our staff retention rate has been strong again this year too. My leadership approach is working and strong thanks to your guidance!”
Regional Business Group Director
“I would like to share just how important that decision was to work with Akeisha, it has completely transformed my experience as a small business owner. I started the year, not sure how to progress nor how to set a structure for myself to achieve my goals. Now, I have more than achieved my goals with the structure that Akeisha has provided and with her insightful coaching and support along the way challenging me to really expand my horizons. This coaching has been very instrumental in my achievements. I highly encourage you to consider engaging Akeisha. If you are just starting out and a small business owner or solopreneur and you're looking for support...this is a valuable valuable investment and exercise really helping you structure your future goals and achieving those goals in record time. So thank you, Akeisha, for your continued support and I am looking forward to what the future brings”
