Portia Albrecht, Owner and CEO of the Equilibre Fitness and Wellness Center in Toronto, Canada announced this week the selection of Kevin McDaniel and WindRiver Strategies as their choice for business coaching services.
Portia described her decision, “I reached out to Kevin McDaniel (WindRiver Strategies) for coaching services during the creation and development of my business primarily because he is obviously passionate about helping people achieve their dreams. He also lives what he preaches, daily striving towards his own goals and dreams. Kevin and I worked together during a leadership seminar in 2008 designed to increase our self-awareness and demonstrate how we show up in the world. He was compassionate, supportive and unruffled by the unusual restrictions placed on our communication during the assignment. This experience combined with Kevin’s firsthand expertise in sales, entrepreneurial endeavours and working with people made him the obvious “go to guy” for advice, support and coaching as I start my own business. I am excited to be working with Kevin again in this capacity, he makes the coaching process fun and it will no doubt have a very positive impact on my business and my life.”
