Coaching for Small Business Owners
"One of the best outcomes of my attending LifeLaunch at the Hudson Institute was the coaching relationship with Dave Wondra that began in January, 2001. After several personal coaching sessions with Frederic Hudson, I asked Frederic to recommend an exceptional Minneapolis-based coach to help me further develop and implement my personal and professional transition strategies. I concurred with Frederic's opinion and hired Dave as my coach.
I had no idea I would still be benefiting from his coaching 4 1/2 years later. The intense work we did early on led to success in some tricky navigation around obstacles and resulted in precisely achieving the goals I set out to accomplish. More recently, Dave's skill in asking the right values-defining questions after listening patiently to my meandering story-telling has helped me immensely in clarifying my priorities. Every coaching session boosts my confidence in my own resourcefulness and ability to focus on what's really important.
I appreciate Dave's patience, warmth, and understanding; I am inspired by his example. And I am grateful for his sense of humor and for not letting me take myself too seriously."
