The Top Co-active Coaches
A Co-Active Coach is someone who believes that the coach and client are equal partners in the coaching relationship. This type of coach takes a holistic approach to coaching, focusing on the whole person rather than just on specific goals. Co-Active Coaching is founded on the belief that everyone has within them the wisdom, resources, and ability to achieve their own goals.
Each Co-Active coach, with their unique style, tries to help the clients and asked them what’s extraordinary about their coaching and what has endorsed their massive success.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
Co-Active Training Institute (CTI) has been instrumental in shaping my coaching journey. The unwavering support, invaluable teachings, and the enduring sense of community they’ve fostered are my cornerstones of success. When in doubt I return to the CTI model and find my way. The strength of their community is powerful, and to this day, I maintain close ties with my fellow podmates, seeking their guidance when necessary. Witnessing the transformative power of coaching through CTI’s front-of-the-room leaders ignited my passion for coaching and is why I am a coach today!
Latisha Leppert
Latisha Leppert is a Certified Co-Active (CPCC) and an ICF accredited (ACC) Coach. She supports creative and ambitious women in finding their path to thriving and fulfillment in life and business.
Her 19-year personal growth and healing journey has given her a lot of lessons about navigating the “messy middle” places that come with creating, achieving, and simply being a human.
She believes the power of self-awareness and inner work gives her clients the choice and autonomy to create a life that works for them starting where they’re at.
She helps clients bravely take ownership of their journey to navigate with confidence and thrive.
What do you do differently, or how is your coaching different from others?
Something unique about my coaching is the way I hold space for my clients to feel held and supported while deep diving into who they really are/want to be and what they really want. My presence of courage, compassion, and openness facilitates truthful inner exploration in safety.
The destination is important, but the daily lived journey is where coaching impacts the most.
Supporting my clients in learning to navigate their “messy middle” places and thrive along that journey is the core of my work.
It helps empower them to live a thriving and fulfilling life along the way to creating and achieving the things they want most.
What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
My personal growth and healing journey have contributed the most. Integrity in my work matters to me so I go first in doing my own inner work and personal exploration. This helps me show up with courage and compassion with my clients because I know the power and the vulnerability it takes.
It’s also given me a picture of the vast methods and tools available which allow me to support my clients in a whole-person approach with whatever they bring to each session.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
My own personal transformation experience and passion for personal growth. Change has
been a consistent factor in my life right since my childhood. Studied in different schools in
different cities, lived in different countries, continents with different cultures, worked in
different companies in different industries, and changed career path in my mid-40s. This
experience enabled me to understand change better and appreciate how people react to
change, their mindset and the process they go through.
With my 20 years of rich experience in diverse Corporate Management roles in multi-national
companies across industries, I gained solid insights into the many challenges of today’s
business leaders and their life, which I use to evoke transformation & develop talents into
inspiring human beings. I quickly establish trustful connection with the people across
different continents and create a safe space for their transformation.
Erik Oberholtzer
As a young buck in the luxury hospitality business, I cut my teeth at Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, working every conceivable management job and building a career while traveling the country. Without question, I got restless and crispy before I met two intrepid fellow burnouts who were also feeling the entrepreneurial itch.
I ejected myself from an executive career I couldn’t abide, took a job as a pool server at a Beverly Hills hotel, and raised a million dollars to open our first Tender Greens restaurant, a concept that had never been tried in an industry with a 90% failure rate.
Teresa Lodato
As a former stressed-out financial services wealth manager of a top Wall Street firm and author of Why Aren’t You Listening to Me?, Teresa Lodato guides stressed out adults and teens to navigate the complexities of relational trauma and the chronic health challenges that accompany stress, burnout and betrayal.

What according to you has been the single most important thing that has contributed to your success as a coach?
I am passionate about the work I do with my clients and this comes through in everything I do. Offering workshops on the Science of Intuition, the Seven Levels of Effectiveness for leaders, Effective Stress Management and Dealing with Difficult People have elevated my coaching knowledge and led to incredible transformations for each of my clients.
Chloe Walton
At the ‘top of my game’, working at a senior level with renowned organisations I was struck by the realisation that the word ‘we’ had vanished and the word ‘I’ had taken hold, standing alone in a deafening silence. Strong, passionate colleagues stopped being brave, curious and creative, too afraid in the end to try new things.
Worst of all, they stopped believing in themselves and their own capabilities; it felt like a soulless workhouse stood where a greenhouse could have flourished.
Dohl Haus
After 20+ years in management, homeschooling, homesteading and entrepreneurial adventures, along with the twists and turns of my own wellness journey, I fell in love with coaching – because coaches are committed to journeying alongside those seeking to be their best selves. I’m not here to give advice, or tell you what to do.
Rather, I will walk alongside you – reminding you of your goals and your values – holding space for you when it’s silent, sticking with you for the hard questions, and won’t let you give up when the real work begins.
Jo Davis
When I turned 50 I had a realization. I wanted more and it was time to make it happen. I wanted more meaning, a renewed purpose, and a new career. This is a POWERFUL time for us – identities shift and roles change. Now with the help of a wonderful coach, I am a coach! A Co-Active coach! This after a 25+ year career working as a leader in social profit organizations.
Pat Obuchowski
Pat is the CEO (Chief Empowerment Officer) of inVisionaria, an executive, leadership and team development and coaching organization as well as a best-selling and award-winning author of Gutsy Women Win: How to Get Gutsy and Get Going and Gutsy Leaders. I help my clients go from good to great by sharpening their leadership, interpersonal, communication and organizational skills which help them achieve their vision on a professional and personal level.
My special talent includes accelerating the learning and integration of organizational leaders into new roles brought about by transitions, such as promotion, transfer, growth, mergers or acquisitions. She helps leaders build strong and results oriented teams by mastering their strengths, managing their weaknesses, and becoming skillful in coaching others. Being an unorthodox rational optimist, I helps leaders learn to live their lives and lead authentically.
The single most important thing that has contributed to my success is my operational leadership experience at all levels and in all aspects of business. This provides me with a 360 degree understanding of how businesses operate. Bringing the humor and heart into my work that made me successful as a leader, I help people create personal and professional goals that inspire them and then coach them in the achievement of these goals.
