Client Testimonials

“I would like to highly recommend Colleta Macharia. She supported me with executive leadership coaching as I was navigating a season of change at the organization whose Kenya office I lead, called Sinapis. Sinapis offers training, advisory services, and an ongoing community to equip entrepreneurs in emerging market economies to grow successful businesses that can create economic, social, and value-based impact.

Working with Colleta has been a revolutionary step up in my leadership journey. Colleta’s coaching really got me to think out of the box, make decisions with precision, and lead with greater clarity and impact. She has a unique ability to balance encouragement with accountability, which aided me in ensuring I creatively formulated solutions to key challenges I had. Thanks to our work together, I feel more confident in navigating complex challenges, inspiring my team, and driving results at an organizational level. I saw prompt results after engaging her on my action plans and realizing new ways to solve what I previously found very challenging.

I highly encourage you to work with Colleta as a coach to achieve all your goals and more!”

S. Ayugi, Kenya Country Manager, Sinapis

“Before working with Colleta Macharia, I felt stuck, unsure of my direction in life and struggling to move forward. I knew I wanted more from life but I lacked the clarity and confidence to take the next step. Through her coaching I was able to break through my mental roadblocks, gained a deeper understanding of my purpose and took actionable steps toward my goals.

My greatest shift came when Colleta guided me through envisioning my ideal self, empowering me to realize I had the inner resources to work towards my ideal life and be unapologetically authentic. Not only did Colleta provide questions and insights that helped me craft my strategy but she also provided encouragement and the accountability I needed to stay on track. Thanks to Colleta’s coaching, I now approach life with renewed confidence, clear goals and a sense of fulfillment I never thought possible. I am now confidently creating the life I want for myself. I’m truly grateful for this transformation and highly recommend Colleta Macharia to anyone seeking clarity and direction in life.”

L. Githae, Founder and Managing Director, Eat Healthy Now [Kenya]

“Colleta helped our staff find stability and focus in the aftermath of the Covid-19 disruption. Using her highly effective Career GAME PLAN Framework and very inspirational coaching, she brought about a settling and refocus that helped the school staff recover from the should-have-been-devastation of the pandemic.

Naturally therefore, I sought her out when I needed my own coaching as the CEO and leader of the enterprise. I have appreciated her laser-like insight and ability to stir me out of my complacency, erroneous assumptions and tunnel thinking without creating offence. Working with Colleta as my coach, I have navigated internal transitions in the organization and have both worked out and I’m implementing a very gratifying personal growth plan that is positively shaping my next decade. I highly recommend Coach Colleta for professionals in transition, leaders seeking their next level of growth and individuals needing to maximize their impact, grow their brand and cement their career satisfaction. Colleta’s depth of commitment is all the guarantee one needs when giving them assignment – she will more than deliver on expectations!”
