Houston's Leadership Training & Development Consultants
Since 2002, Houston companies have trusted Achilles Group to provide impactful leadership guidance and HR expertise.

Engaged Leadership Series
Engaged leadership is achieved when a team understands and embraces the principles that result in mutual growth, connection, commitment, and accountability. These characteristics produce profitable outcomes in business and in life, with and for people.
These facilitated sessions aim to bring a leadership team to a collective understanding and provide a common vocabulary. The ultimate end in mind is for the group to recognize and apply the pricinciples in every day leadership situations.
Feedback loops are like air in any leadership engagement discussion and is perhaps the most catalytic element of all leadership competencies.
Leadership’s influence is governed by the ability to achieve connection in relationships built upon trust, respect, and two-way communication.
Because most of our leadership profile is centered on how we establish clear expectations, we must cultivate our ability to work with each person’s reaction and perspective.
Instead of falling into the trap of allowing internal and external disruptions to capture our attention, adopt a way of working that prioritizes people and relationships rather than tasks and schedules.
At every level of leadership when faced with extraordinary challenges regarding people, key initiatives, and business priorities, we need confidence and techniques to make critical path decisions.

We started out as a new company in 2020 that emerged from a group of experienced leaders and employees in the flight services industry. We knew we needed HR support through a real partner so we would not have to figure things out on our own, and we were not going to bring that function in-house. The Achilles team has been vitally important given the many dynamics to HR. It’s reassuring and gives us the confidence that our questions, issues, and problems will be resolved.

Before we engaged with Achilles Group, our HR was more on the reactive side and we felt something was missing, and we didn’t know how to get there. We worried about many HR topics like compliance gaps, records retention, how to on-board new employees, and how to develop our leaders. Achilles not only guided in all those areas, but they spent a lot of time with us and provided the manpower needed to take that burden off our shoulders. It would have been very difficult to accomplish all this from a time standpoint without their team involved.
