New Testimonial for Coaching
I recently received a very nice testimonial from a new coaching client. Aaron Murphy is an exceptional consultant and architect for aging in place. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him the past month. Aaron was very kind to send out this unsolicited testimonial on the value he has received from working with me. Many thanks to you, Aaron!
“Two weeks into a 90 day personal business coaching session, with the wonderful Mr. Dan Weedin. Great conversations, clarification of intentions, and goal setting at each sit-down. He also has me working hard, and accountable to deliverables each and every week. We are sorting some important things out that will keep me at my “highest and best use / value” with my time. Professionally, and personally as well… GOOD STUFF!!! “Work Smarter, not harder…” Thanks Dan!”

Another Rave Review on Libby & Dan
I always like getting good news, and happy clients are always good news!
Mark Walters, a terrific value-based attorney who attended last week, had this to say about his experience….
Lawyers like me attend continuing legal education courses to stay on top of the law and legal trends. I attend business training workshops to sharpen my business skills and knowledge. This helps me stay strong as a trusted adviser to my clients, and it helps me grow my business. This was a fantastic workshop and everyone took away far more value than the cost of admission. I won’t miss Dan and Libby’s next event.
Thanks, Mark! The next Libby & Dan session is scheduled for June 21st in Seattle. Registration details are forthcoming. Stay tuned!

Libby & Dan Re-Scheduled Due to Snow
The only thing that could slow down the Libby & Dan train is snow. And lots of it (or at least the threat).
My backyard
Libby and I needed to make a decision based on what we saw in our weather crystal ball regarding Thursday’s Libby & Dan workshop. With nearly 40 people registered and a venue that was worried about a lot of its events and operations, we needed to be sensitive to all of you. So, at 4 pm, we decided to postpone our event until February 15th.
Here are the main details you need to know…
1. If you already registered, you are automatically registered for the February 15th event that will still be held at the Washington Athletic Club in downtown Seattle.
2. If you can’t make it, we have a credit for a couple of different options. First, we will be holding another Libby & Dan event sometime in May or June. You can attend that. Or, we will credit you the $99 towards any of our services.
3. If you wanted to come but the date didn’t work, we hope you can now attend in February! Here is the link to register.
I will be sending out notices in my regular mailings, but wanted to give you an early “save the date!”
Enjoy the snow; stay warm; and be safe.
