Hello, I’m Alberta Stevens, founder and coach at ArêteQuest. I created ArêteQuest to guide leaders—no matter where they are in their journey—to lead with greater impact and fulfilment. Through reconnecting with your deepest aspirations and realigning your life with your core values, I help you navigate your challenges to unlock the leader you aspire to be.

I believe leadership is a sacred call to purposeful excellence—a path of self-mastery that integrates your strengths, character, and abilities to create value and lead with meaning. This belief shapes everything I bring to my coaching and consulting services, empowering you to achieve your leadership goals with clarity, courage, and confidence.

Empowering you to balance ambition with a life of meaning

With over two decades of experience in community development and social impact leadership, I know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming leadership can sometimes feel. We’ve all had moments when we longed for a trusted ally—someone to bounce ideas off, hold us accountable, challenge our blind spots, and encourage us toward growth. Whether you’re navigating uncertainty, battling imposter syndrome, or trying to balance professional ambitions with personal commitments, you’re not alone.

Many leaders, especially women, reach a point where they question whether their current path truly reflects their values and aspirations. For some, this sparks a desire for a bold pivot; for others, it’s about rediscovering clarity and purpose within their current roles. Wherever you are on your journey, ArêteQuest is here through our coaching and consulting services to serve as your trusted partner, helping you take the next steps with confidence, intention, and a renewed sense of purpose.

At ArêteQuest, we recognise that leadership is a transformational journey, shaped by both the peaks of success and the valleys of challenge and change. It is a path fueled by the courage to grow with intention, guiding you towards your highest summit—your purpose and fulfilment.

Guiding You to Lead with Clarity, Courage, and Confidence

Through our holistic approach to coaching, consulting, and public speaking, we help you reconnect with your inner compass, giving you the courage to face challenges with resilience, rise to new heights of excellence, and shape a future grounded in purpose. This is your upward journey, and at ArêteQuest, we’re here to light your path as you rise to meet the world’s needs with clarity, courage, and confidence.

Let’s begin your leadership quest to purposeful excellence together.
