Meet Damani...

Greetings! My name is Damani Akridge. As a Personal Life Coach, I’ve worked in Human Development for over 15 years. I help people with self-development, removing barriers, reducing stress, building stronger relationships, and achieving personal and professional growth. Working on oneself isn’t always easy but when you’re ready, it’s a powerful experience. I’ve led many clients on a transformational journey to life-changing outcomes.

My method helps you connect to what you want (not what you think you need). I’m here to show you how life coaching helps you set goals and achieve better results.

"Damani is a great guy and it was a pleasure to work with him when he was CEO/Country Manager for Samsung in Malawi. He taught me the value of strong spirituality, a good family life and a determined work ethic when approaching the challenges of a busy and demanding job. He can understand people beyond the office environment, advising and assisting on both work and personal issues that helped me to develop my professional capacity and improve and strengthen my character. Not only do I believe that Damani is a natural life coach because of his great communication skills, empathy and effective leadership abilities, he is an all-round good guy that genuinely cares about the advancement of others. He has taught me a lot that I still find very useful as I continue my professional path and as I enjoy my personal life today."

“I found my sessions with Damani to be incredibly insightful and I felt that I made tremendous progress in my personal growth. Damani was very patient coach and I felt that I was being listened to and heard. During our session, Damani had me do a visualization exercise where I visualized what it would look like if I went down a certain path. I think this was extremely impactful because it gave me permission to dream again. Our sessions were well structured, so it was easy to get inspired. I recommend Damani, he was a great teacher and I look forward to learning more from him. Lastly, I say to you working with Damani you will “Dream again”!

What is a Life Coach

Learn More
Start Assessment

My goal is to teach life skills that can be utilized daily. These life skills can help an individual reach equilibrium and regain control of their lives. It will help them to uncover the Truth behind the myths, so that they can live their best lives.

Many times, we find ourselves stuck in a mundane life and unclear how we arrived at an unhealthy destination. We are so busy with the hustle and bustle of life when things slow down we find ourselves feeling empty or unfulfilled. These feelings generally are the result of unresolved life griefs. My services will help you work through past and present challenges.

I am part advisor, part visionary, part cheerleader, as your coach it is my joy to help you gain more in personal development, self-discovery, clarity, balance, satisfaction, self-improvement, and success. I help my clients to align with their personal mission and vision and this will help them make better choices and live a more unique and fulfilled life.

Life coaching focuses on the here and now.  Unlike therapy you can go on for years (because it tends to focus on the past and/or why you’re feeling a certain way), life coaching often accomplishes that in a short amount of time. We start with where you are now and what you want – and work together to create that new life vision.

In life coaching, we start with the assumption that you are whole and complete – and that you have within you all the answers – even if you may not feel like it now. The life coaching work is to uncover those answers together. The good news is, you know it when you feel it – and we want to get to that place as soon as possible.

It’s kind of like having a best friend who sees the best in you and won’t let you be anything other than your best possible self. Nothing has to be terribly “wrong” to benefit! Even when things are going well, it’s often helpful to have an objective person in your corner to bounce ideas off of, touch base with and/or reaffirm that you’re moving in the right direction.
