Angaza school coaching programJan – April 2014
This serves to confirm that Angaza Life and Career Coaching have been having the Angaza Life Coaching program with our class 7 and 8 pupils.
Out of their interaction with our pupils we have found Coach Mercy and Coach Jacky to be mature and knowledgeable in the way they carry themselves and deal with the pupils. Our children have benefited immensely from the coaching program and always look forward for the next session.
Our pupils have gained confidence and become focused in their studies. Their work output has thus improved. As a parent in class 7, I have seen great improvement in my daughter not only in school work but also at home too. I do not hesitate to recommend Direzione Life Coaching (DLC) program to whoever wishes to see real change in their children. Sarah W. Kinyanjui, Head of Schoo, Muguga Heritage School- Limuru.

I also learnt the importance of always having a positive attitude towards all teachers and subjects……The topic on careers was an eye opener regarding the career that I want to pursue.

STEPping out 1- coaching program 20th - 22nd January, 2014; “…I learnt that having the right attitude will take me far and if I have the wrong attitude I will not progress. What inspired me most during the 3 days was: the clip on Ben Carson, topics on attitude, area of control and no control, great quotes like fake it till you make it... I really had fun, benefited a lot and hope to be with you guys again. Thanks a lot guys. You rocked my holiday had aloooot of fun, learnt new things and I am going to definitely teach others...” Maina Sharon, Student Kahuhia Girls, Murang’a
“…My greatest lesson was determining my learning style, how I should use and where I will apply it… All days sessions inspired me because the daily lessons taught covered different areas. The daily quotes emphasized the day’s topics. Some quotes that were really encouraging include; fake it till you make it, knowledge is power, Change what you can and accept what you cannot change…. Thank you coach Jacky and coach Mercy for the daily activities which were fun, fun, fun. Wow! Congrats. UR PERFECT GUYS! Continue with the same…” Joy Gathoni, Student Kyeni Girls High School, Embu

AKAD Mentorship Success Model
The Akad Education Group – Africa’s model is based on molding aspirations.
Research shows that low aspirations are an obstacle to long-term upward mobility - even when resources given (E. Duflo, P. Dupas & M. Kremer, 2012). Aspirations can be shaped through social interactions with successful peers and members of one’s community.
Learning about positive experiences of others in the community help change aspirations and, in turn, induce greater investments in education and income generating activities.
Our events include active student participation through robust question and answer sessions moderated by Dr. Weche and other professionals, with follow up networking, tours, Job Shadowing. We specifically tailor make the events to meet the expressed needs of the audience, based on their age; working with upper primary, high school and college youth and working class adults.
Testimonial
Career Coaching: Jacky’s unique experiences, training and gifts mean that she can address both the personal and professional challenges in life. "I discovered I needed a whole new approach with my job search and my definition of career success". Jacky as a career coach, saw I needed fine-tuning and constructed a process that yielded immediate, concrete success - a job where I apply my interests and talents daily. I continue to rely on her wise counsel. I am now aware what path I want to pursue, I know my skills and professional worth.” Doreen Gathoni, Equity Bank
