An Experienced Business Coach
In 2001, I graduated from Business Coach Development System. Shortly afterward, I began business coaching full time and founded Dona Kerr Coaching, one of only a handful of coaching businesses in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area.

 

For sixteen years, I was a co-owner of an Internet Technology-related business. Before that, I spent a number of years working with a non-profit organization and a shipping company.

 

As an active community volunteer, I have extensive leadership experience in education organizations, non-profit community organizations, and my church. The skills I developed in these roles are a tremendous asset to my coaching expertise.

 

When deciding to become a business coach, I “listened” to my life. My interests, life experience, and work history all pointed me toward becoming a business coach. My experiences as an entrepreneur, manager, sales person, creative person, and stay-at-home mom give me the insight I need to help persons in these fields recognize, develop, and use their knowledge, skills, and talents.

 

My client list includes a variety of professionals: entrepreneurs, owners of small businesses, sales teams, and mid-level managers, with an emphasis on entrepreneurs and sales people who need to achieve both balanced lives and business growth.

Personal Development

A wide-ranging variety of interests and hobbies keep me active and continually growing in an enriched, balanced lifestyle. I am a 3rd Degree Karate Black Belt and certified cardio-karate instructor, a breast cancer survivor, and a single mother of two incredible teenaged daughters. Travel and more travel top my list of favorite activities, as well as cooking, reading, walking in the sunshine, and self development (yes, I think it’s fun!).
