We Develop Leaders & Teams People Love to Work With
 

Archova supports small to mid-sized businesses, startups, and non-profits whose HR teams need a strong partner who can lighten their load, deliver high-quality work, and create results that last.

Why Us?
 
Focused Experience
Archova prides ourselves in building effective partnerships with HR leaders and line managers. Archova understands intense work environments, the pressures leaders and employees face, and the support people need to be successful and develop sustainable high performance. Our HR services are scalable and flexible, whether you choose customized services, leadership coaching or one of our programs or workshops.
 
Measurable Results
Archova’s programs and services include assessments, goal setting, and progress tracking. When partnering with us, you receive progress reports throughout the engagement. 
 
Plus, we monitor and measure ourselves
Archova continually measure client satisfaction and results to keep us at the top of our game. Here are results from our recent client surveys:
 
Meeting expectations (average): 10.0
(Scale of 0-10, where 0 is not meeting expectations and 10 is fully meeting expectations of the program or engagement)
 
Percentage change on leadership effectiveness (average): + 33%
 
Likely to recommend program to a friend or colleague (average): 9.4
(On a scale of 0-10, where 0 is least likely and 10 is most likely)

Our Method

 

We ground our work in our proprietary “APS METHOD” to Leadership Development which includes building Awareness, developing Leadership Principles, and creating a Leadership System. More specifically, our APS Method helps leaders expand in the 3 most critical pillars of leadership:

  • Increasing self-awareness and awareness of others
  • Anchoring behaviors in values & principles
  • Action-oriented and systematic plans for sustainable results

This means that we take a results-driven approach to coaching while diving beyond just behaviors to develop a strong leadership mindset by understanding how our thinking fuels our actions.

And our approach to it

 
In addition, Archova believes that leaders learn and grow the most when programs incorporate these 3 elements:

Knowledge transfer

Not everything can be solved through self-discovery. As trusted coaches and leadership development experts, we equip our clients with frameworks, tools, and proven practices that support their effectiveness and ability to navigate new or challenging situations.

Personalized Support

A reason why leadership programs don't create lasting results is the Knowing-Doing Gap. Our work always involves personalized support to ensure every client knows how and when to use new tools or apply new insights and behaviors. Plus, we're on their side to help remove hurdles and challenges on their journey of growth.

Social Learning

Social learning fosters collaboration and diverse perspectives, which organically helps to enhance a leader's ability to adapt to various leadership styles and situations. It also enables leaders to acquire practical insights and real-world problem-solving skills through peer interactions and by observing other leaders being coached on relatable challenges.

Our Mission

 

Our mission is to support leaders in small to mid-sized companies through bespoke coaching and result-focused training programs. We are dedicated to fostering growth, enhancing skills, and promoting resilience, ensuring that every leader we work with experiences significant growth and inspires their teams to grow alongside them.

Archova's Values

 

Central to our mission are the values and principles that guide our actions, shape our culture, and define our approach to leadership development. These core values not only inspire our work but also reflect our commitment to excellence, integrity, and continuous growth.

High Standards

  • We adhere to the highest professional standards for client service.
  • We observe high ethical standards.
  • We preserve client confidence.
  • We maintain an independent perspective.
  • We put client interests ahead of our own.
  • We go the extra mile to deliver excellent work products but we always remember that more is not better.

Return Focus

  • We obsess over delivering high returns for our clients.
  • We build capabilities and mindsets that offer long-term returns.
  • We aim to create enduring, trusted partnerships with our clients.
  • We see failures as learning opportunities and will seek growth in all our mistakes and setbacks.

Growth Orientation

  • We see each other as equals and foster an inclusive environment.
  • We uphold the obligations to engage, dissent, and address the elephants in the room.
  • We embrace diverse and opposing perspectives with curiosity and respect.
  • We are constantly looking for ways to improve ourselves, our work, the company, and our relationships.

ALEXIS HASELBERGER

Time Management Coach
Alexis is a productivity, time-management and efficiency expert.  She spent the first 15+ years of her career managing operations and HR at several early-stage start-ups, where there was always way more to do than people to do it.  But she also believes that work-life balance is essential for everyone, even though the definition may be different for everyone. As a result, Alexis began to develop and implement productivity systems in the companies she worked for, and in her life, to ensure that goals were met, balls were not dropped, and that, most importantly, she and those around her were feeling good. Alexis' productivity and time-management systems, techniques, tricks and hacks can be customized to any team or individual.  Her aim is to help you do all that you want to do, with less effort and less stress.

Now What About the Name'Archova'?

There are 3 elements that inspired our logo and name.

  • Archon in Greek represents a leader and developing strong self-leadership and leadership is at the core of our mission
  • The Latin meaning of Nova is new. We not only closely support new leaders but also with conviction believe that a new way of leadership is required to address the challenges of our workplaces.
  • The lion in our logo is a representation of leaders who demonstrate courage, strength, and resilience, and leaders who are protective and caring. These are key attributes we help leaders develop so they are better equipped to navigate the challenges, adversity, and demands they are faced with on a daily basis and are embracing a leadership mindset that fosters trust, collaboration, a strong focus on the mission.
