one-on-one conversations

 

You’re life and dreams matter.

I've worked with some absolutely amazing individuals with incredible business ideas! Some are just starting out and need help clarifying their action plan, and others have successful businesses but want help taking them to the next level.

Whether you struggle with what should be “simple business how-tos,” marketing plans, social media presence, etc., I want to save you time, energy, & money and help you get closer to your goals.

Our time together during the coaching session is customized to YOUR needs.

In these coaching sessions, I am an open book. You ask the questions, and I will share my real-life experiences. If you don’t know what questions to ask, that’s okay too. When you walk away, you will feel lighter and more confident with the path you need to take to create the business idea you've been building in your mind.”

 what others are saying

 

I cannot speak highly enough about Danna and her skills. She not only encouraged me to follow God’s voice in writing the devotional, Kissed by the King, she also provided excellent strategies as to how to market the book. She previewed the original contract, provided directives on how and where to market, and offered excellent strategic business advice. She has been an outstanding mentor, coach, and friend. I would encourage anyone looking for a coach to consider Danna Larson. You won’t regret it!

- Leslie G.

 

Where to even begin! Danna is such a precious soul! Over the past year, I’ve been navigating new areas of business. She and I met through a mutual friend and immediately I knew that it was meant to be. She has inspired me, encouraged me, and shared so much wisdom about being an entrepreneur. She asks the right questions, and truly desires to see your business and brand flourish! I’m so thankful for all of her expert advice and guidance with my business! It’s been a blessing to work alongside her.

- Chelsea R.

 

I would highly recommend Danna to help guide the strategic planning process for your organization or business. Her experiences in advocating for and serving rural communities is unparalleled, and she brings all that experience to the table for you.

Danna helped guide meaningful discussion for our Convention and Visitors Bureau Board to establish achievable goals, focus on our desired guests and tourists, and re-evaluate our mission and vision.

We left this time feeling motivated, excited about the future and with plans to conquer our goals.

Looking for something similar? Danna is your gal!
