Testimonials For Rhonda Zwelling
Tucson Life and Health Coach

USA Testimonials

This is a testimonial to the power of this Leadership program and the power I have found deep within myself.  At the end of the semester, in my freshman year of college, I made a choice.  I made a choice to change yet, little did I know, I was making a choice to become!  From day one with Rhonda as my coach I trusted the program and that bond has increased exponentially.  Every week has involved a new lesson, empowering me with more tools for my success.  I am finding myself to be happier and more productive.  My self-image has increased ten-fold and I now fully understand that I am unique and there is no single person just like me.

This Leadership process has solidified my motivation for success and now comes from deep within myself.  My self-motivation is truly what is now fueling my success.  I used to search for that kind of power everywhere but the search was futile.  The answer is now so clear, being that the power is within me already…and it’s in you too!  I am my own advocate.  I have my own unlimited potential, and have had it all along.  Each goal that I set and achieve will always create a new and better one!

The sky is the limit here and I am the only one capable of stopping me.  This program has answered my life question of where I am able to attain the power to succeed.  The power has always been here since day one because the answer is simply, me!  GAME ON!

Rhonda is another resource whose expertise I’ve utilized.  We have had several coaching sessions in which she helped me sort out priorities with not only my business but also my personal life.  Rhonda listens carefully, then offers her wisdom and sound advice.  She has helped me feel less overwhelmed, working toward having more clarity in what I do.  I am thankful for Rhonda’s motivation, encouragement, and positive attitude.  I’m confident that with Rhonda’s continuing direction, I’ll soon be achieving to my potential.  I highly recommend Rhonda as a coach for anyone unsure of their career/life path or wanting to be more effective in any area of his/her life!

What a wondrous year I have experienced!  With Rhonda Zwelling by my side I grew into the woman I always wanted to be and had admired from a distance.  With her help I became confident and strong in my personal and professional life.  During the time I worked with Rhonda I have achieved more goals than during the rest of my life.  I found it is possible to have the life I wanted.  My life is filled with family, friends, and joy.  I discovered I was able to take a new career path and use my new confidence and strength to become a leader.  The miracle of me was always inside, but Rhonda has shown me how to tap into what I needed to grow.  She is a strong leader in her own right, but gentle when prodding me to the next step.  Her instinct and timing was right on.  She has brought out the best in me and taught me how to use it and keep it in the light where everyone can see.

There is a quote from Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice in Wonderland that is appropriate for working with Rhonda:

“Who are you?” said the Caterpillar…
“I—I hardly know, Sir, just at present.” Alice replied rather shyly, “at least I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.”

Thank you, Rhonda, for the finding the miracle of me!

I feel compelled to write an effusive thank you note for offering the course, Women In Transitions, which really is a lifeline for women like myself. In my undefined retirement mode, I was slipping into "old-ness" without knowing how to stop the downward spiral. I was mired down in old habits and negative reinforcements, which had reared their ugly heads again, once I stopped working. I don't want to think about the sad place I would be now, had I not taken the course from you. Your class was a life-changing experience. The class in itself was wonderful, aided by the wonderful written materials and CDs. But what made it really work for me was you. You taught this class as if your life depended on our personal improvement. Having been a teacher all my life, I understand commitment. You took commitment to a whole new level in this class. You walked hand in hand with each of us, and you wouldn't let us falter. You were firm, engaging, demanding, and you never stopped reminding us of the task, the goal, and what was a stake.

It has been two months since the end of the course, and its impact has not diminished one bit. In fact, my basic attitude shift seems to get stronger and more confident each day. I have had several challenges over these past weeks, and several times there has been a hiccup in my progress. But each time, I have gone back to the materials (class notes, CDs, workbooks, text) and worked through an Action Plan. Always, the Affirmation cards are very helpful. The important thing is to know that this class provides a way through the thicket of self-doubt and emotions. The result is a most wonderful feeling of power over the self-indulgent, sad victim that I could easily have become.

You and the class provided me with all the tools necessary to live a lively, involved, joyous, productive life. You have helped me to re-discover my old self, my real self. And it is a beautiful thing. I will always feel a special gratitude for having been through this powerful WIT course of study.
Thank you, Rhonda, for your powerful mentoring and friendship. It means the world to me.

I am writing this letter of testimony as I approach my last (of a series of 10) sessions of  ‘Life Coaching’.  I was in need of that (but didn’t know it), and in a downward spiral when Rhonda Zwelling suggested I try the program.  I’ve known Rhonda for several years; she was my personal trainer and is a natural at motivation!  It was at about a year and a half after losing my husband and best friend of 40 years. .. The first year I must have run on adrenaline…but I realized I didn’t know who to be since he wasn’t there to offer his support.  Life coaching with Rhonda leading the way helped me figure out more than who I am.  It helped me see how good I am and how much I have to offer and to receive.  I AM HAPPY!!  When we started this process, I was NOT.  Rhonda didn’t tell me what to do to feel better…she guided me and motivated me to figure it all out on my own.  She leads you gently by the hand; you can laugh, you can cry, you can yell…….but she doesn’t let you quit.  I was hesitant to have a life coach…especially one who already knew me…but it was the best move I’ve made in many, many years.  I thought about writing pages of glowing stories of the last few months, but suffice it to say, these sessions with Rhonda will change your life!  PLEASE use me as a reference.  I want to encourage people to let Rhonda help them move ahead with life!

I have just completed an awesome Leadership Course titled Women in Transition.  This 10 session course was coached privately to me by Rhonda Zwelling.  Rhonda came to me at a time when I was going through a huge transition as well as feeling stuck and unable to move forward with my business creation.  I have learned so many valuable things and have added some valuable tools to my tool box.  Throughout the process, I learned to define my own personal idea of success while exploring and developing many different aspects of my self.  This has created a lot more balance in my life.  I have learned to set goals and I am motivated to action.  I no longer feel stuck!  Rhonda teaches by example and has been a wonderful role model of living a life of leadership.  Rhonda’s support and guidance through this process has been invaluable and I believe that this is what sets this course above the rest.  Thank you Rhonda!

This is a great program to kick start you moving forward in life and business.  The process will bring you full circle.  From the beginning you feel the changes you have been striving for happening.  Rhonda will gently keep you on the task you have created and committed to.  I highly recommend it to anyone ready for the next step.  The step of becoming your true self in life and business is just ahead of you.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Rhonda Zwelling during the 10 week Leadership course.  Rhonda gives caring and firm guidance and she truly understands how to motivate people to take action and unlock their true potential. I credit Rhonda's guidance for helping me to understand myself and my unconscious road blocks.  I always knew that she was on my side and believed in me, even when I did not believe in myself.

The course materials are wonderful.  They helped me to examine all areas of my life and led me to uncovering my most heart felt desires.  As a result, I am now fulfilling a dream that I had abandoned years ago. I have no doubt that the investment I made in this program was the first, exciting step towards a more fulfilling future.

When I started coaching with Rhonda I knew something was wrong in my life, but could not pinpoint what it was. I was frustrated, hopeless, unhappy, and became self destructive towards my self, my family, and my career. I damaged all meaningful relationships and stopped being sincere to myself. Life had become very confusing and I felt disconnected with everything that mattered to me …

After completing coaching with Rhonda, I now understand why the things in my life have occurred and now posses the knowledge and tools to repair my life back to an enjoyable state. I now feel connected, clear about what I want out of life, and happy about who I am and where I am headed. Thank You Rhonda!

Life is full of opportunities and for those that are willing to grab those opportunities, for those willing to run with the ball, there is a never ending joy to the success one can make. From the time that I was a young man I understood these notions of opportunity and initiative, yet I was unable to really capitalize on the opportunities I found or made.

Was it the fact that I had never really disciplined my thinking? Was it that I merely lacked focus in my approach to problem solving? Was I making strong connections and relationships with those I needed in business and personal life? One thing I know for sure is that I was letting opportunities for success and happiness slip through my fingers. I have always exploited chances to improve my life and the lives of those I come into contact with, but how effective was I?

Then I met Rhonda Zwelling and for the first time I was sure that I had met someone, a coach, who could help me with my very specific success issues. Through the coaching experience with Rhonda, I have learned to focus my energies, I have become a far more disciplined thinker and I have advanced the way in which I treat my fellow man. Success comes more easily now and my perception of life and things that make life so enjoyable seem to be viewed through rosier lenses than before.

The coaching experience is different for everyone, of this I am sure. We all want and expect different things from life. Rhonda helped me to find the clarity of purpose I was looking for and has enabled me to exploit every desirable opportunity I come across or create. I strongly recommend Rhonda as a coach for anyone who wants to reap the rewards of a life fully lived.

Rhonda:

You are the first foreigner I talk with. It’s my pleasure that I am a student of you. You are so kind and always encourage us to speak out. I think all of us have great progress in speaking English. Not only did you tell us how to pronunciate right but also tell us how to deal with our trouble we may meet in life. I’m very proud of you. We may never meet again but I will remember you. I wish we can keep in touch through the e-mail forever. Welcome to China.

Yours, Richard

Rhonda,

I am so happy to be you students. I have perfect days. The American kind of happiness makes me know that even though I am faced with difficulties I can get morale from somewhere. Life is a journey with many people. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Thanks for the memory. All of us will miss you!!!

PS: Maybe some years latter we can meet in America. I will try my best.

Welcome to China again!

Dear R,

I appreciate that you taught me not only how to improve my speaking but what to do to build up my self-confidence through saying the self-affirmations everyday. The time I’ve spent with you is amazing. I just can’t find the exact words to demonstrate my feelings now. By doing the self-affirmations I feel like doing what I say. It is not a fantasy thing. It is something that you are keen to do although you have no guts to do it. Then we turn our ambition into action through setting short-term and long-term goals. Moreover, you taught me how to be responsible man speaking out the things that we feel grateful for.

Best wishes for you,
Young

Dear Rhonda,

I want to say “thank you” to you. What you impressed me most was your “eye contact”. It gives me much encouragement. You know, I am a little shy and I am always not confident to myself, but you make me more confident! I love you very much Rhonda! And I think you are a good teacher. In the class, I also learned that we should set up a goal, and by that way we can do everything better. I will miss you dear Rhonda!

Best wishes,
Karin

Dear Rhonda:

I’m very glad to meet you. I have not talked with foreign teacher ago. So this is my first time. I will take it in my heart forever. You’re a beautiful woman. You are a responsible teacher. And you have changed the direction of my life. I think I will be more strong and confident through your teaching. My dream will come true sooner or later if I never give up. Thank you very much! Best wishes for you.
