Praise for Donna and Ben

When I asked one of my ideal clients why they decided to call me instead of another coach, it was because they listened to one of my podcasts. I'm so grateful that I took the initiativeto partner with IBGR. And to have Donna Kunde to cheer me on & guide me through the process, so I can take my business to the next level... not solely to have people come and work with me, but to make an impact on a larger scale, reaching more people.”

If I hadn't joined Ben Gioia's group, my book would still be in my computer. It would still be there, I would still be wondering if it was okay… if it was the right time… if I could really do it… if I had something to say. And so being part of Ben's program, and working with him, and with Chris, allowed me to do it. And I'm really, really proud of it! And can I share one thing!? I'm talking at Google Next month! somebody read my book at Google! And they're gonna pay me! "

I want to thank you, Ben, for your supportive coaching, intelligent strategizing, and your persistent and kind guidance... as we launched my bestselling book and then my podcast (Bowing to Elephants). Because of your help I’ve been interviewed regularly, and I have a platform with tens of thousands of engaged followers & friends. Bowing to Elephants has been a bestseller for almost three years, already! It's been an exciting journey, and the fulfillment of some important dreams of mine!

I remember those magic words when Donna came to me and said, 'Hey, we're here to help you succeed.' Donna and her team delivered for us. The process was straightforward and easy to implement. We’ve been using the platform to expand our network, marketing, and brand presence like never before. Thank you, Donna!

Jason “Wally” Waldron, Exitology

I've not known anyone, any summit host, that creates a space for people to come together and just talk, connect, network, and reflect deeply. Donna asks really profound questions that lead us to reflect and share our thoughts—a rare and golden experience.

Donna Kunde has added so much value to my life. She is a gifted connector of the right-fit people and deeply cares about the success of others. She created a system that turns radio shows into podcasts into books over a three-month period, helping me publish content in three best-selling categories in the U.S. and one in Australia. I cannot recommend enough working with Donna.

I have now had the pleasure of sitting through a group activity led by Donna twice now, and was blown away both times. In my role as Assistant Branch Manager, I get the opportunity to sit through many educational seminars, guest speakers and networking presentations and Donna is one of my favorites. Her dedication and belief in what she does in addition to her laid-back, down-to-earth personality really helps connect her with her audience. She personalizes and shares each experience with the group so you can see the effect it has had on her personally. She truly helps motivate you to believe in yourself and your ability to change your situation, which is easier than you may think. I look forward to continuing to work with Donna, and encourage you to do the same!
