Excelerant

To the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country, and to the families who carry their memory forward, thank you. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

When a leader gets better, everybody around them feels it. Their team. Their peers. Their families. The impact goes further than you think. ✨

That's the ripple effect of coaching. And behind many successful leaders, there's a coach who created space for them to think clearly, act intentionally, and become the kind of person others actually want to follow.

This week is International Coaching Week. Here's to the coaches and the leaders brave enough to say, "I want to be better at this."

Today we’re celebrating every woman who has mothered someone. 🩷
The mom who raised you.
The aunt who always showed up.
The grandmother who set the standard.
The mentor who saw something in you before you saw it in yourself.
The boss who made you feel like you belonged somewhere.

Mothering isn’t only a title. It’s a way of showing up: with patience, with belief, with steadiness. And it shapes us in ways we usually don’t notice until much later.

To all the women doing that work, in all the forms it takes: thank you.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Excelerant.

✨ “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” - Yoda ✨

“I’ll try” feels like commitment to the person saying it. In practice, it’s a soft no dressed up as a yes.

Three honest answers beat one vague one:
→ “Yes, by Friday.”
→ “No, here’s what I can commit to.”
→ “I need time to give you a real answer.”

Clarity builds trust. Vague commitments quietly erode it.

✨ May the 4th be with you. ✨

Happy Easter from our team to yours. 🌸

The data doesn't lie. ✨Happy April Fools' Day! ✨
Great leaders are made, not born - but if you were born on a Wednesday, we see you!

We're so proud of Tracy Herman , one of our coaches and consultants here at Excelerant! Tracy just earned her EQ-i 2.0® certification, joining our four partners, Jennifer Adcock, Phyllis Arceneaux, Jill Meaux, and Christina Harper Olivier, who are also certified in this powerful emotional intelligence assessment. We're in the business of growing people - and that includes our own. ✨ Congratulations, Tracy! 🎉

Delicious lunch, a room full of fabulous women, and a conversation about workplace culture that kept us nodding the whole way through.

Our Excelerant partners had a wonderful time at the One Acadiana Women’s Networking Luncheon today. Dr. Mechelle Roberthon set the tone beautifully.

✨Leadership Vermilion Class 12 is officially underway! We had the opportunity to facilitate their opening session yesterday. Programs like this work because communities like Vermilion Parish choose to invest in developing their leaders.
🎉Congratulations to Class 12 on a strong start! We're honored to have played a part in launching this group.
