Starting this week, I am going to try to meet with one Central Street Business person every week and share their information with our neighbors. I hope others will post their favorite places and people so that we can develop a comprensive directory of all the creative businessess that are operating behind the scenes on and around Central Street.
Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to have a cup of cofee with David Kaiser, one of our Central Street personalities. If you need to get recharged or refocused, give him a call- 777-454-7606.
David is a business coach with BIG and Bold Coaching.(Www.yourbigandboldlife.blogspot.com) Dave and his wife Kathi, who is a partner at Centralis on Central St., and their daughter, recently moved to our Central Street neighborhood from Southeast Evanston. They live on Broadway and are loving the neighborhood.
Prior to becoming a coach, Dave worked for 10 years in training and teaching, andf five years as a financial anaylst and project manager. He holds a doctorate in Linquistics from the University of Chicago, and speaks Russsin fluently. He also volunteers as a career coach at the Career Transition Center of Chicago.
Dave’s passion is working with clients to clarify their passions and values, and then creating an action plan to realize a career or business that honors those passions and values in a big and bold way. Most of his clients are professionals in transition, but he also works with clients around increasing top line revenue. Dave particularly enjoys when clients discover how they are sabotaging themselves or holding themselves back or remaining stuck, and then move past their obstacles and make things happen! Dave was trained by the Coaches Training Institute and is currently pursuing certification through the International Coaches Federation. Dave has worked with clients in the Real Estate, Manufacturing, and Professional Services industries.
