Donna
Latin
Donna Latin is a Certified Comprehensive Coach, graduating from Terri Levine's Coaching Institute, and is the founder of Leaping Through Change-LTC Coaching & Consulting.
As a former management consultant, working in the corporate settings of the USA, Switzerland, Belgium, the UK and others, Donna developed skills in communications & consulting and knowledge in internal organizational efficiencies. She learned a lot about how various businesses work, and how to make each of them succeed further-- by focusing on the bottom line for the corporation. Donna found the thing she most enjoyed was helping the individuals within the organization to embrace change. So after working in Europe for many years, she and her family returned to the USA in 2006. At that time, Donna decided to become a Certified Comprehensive Coach-focused on helping small business owners ignite the passion in their business, and turn it into a future that's brighter than they ever thought possible.
Donna's purpose as a coach is reflected in her business name - to show her clients the way to LEAP THROUGH CHANGE. Whether you're the owner of a small business or the manager in a large company, Donna works with her clients to teach them how to truly tap their greatest resource (themselves!). It's her belief that her role as a coach is to help her clients to discover their own answers within themselves. LTC Coaching offers a method for improving clients' business, and achieving their goals- pure and simple. Donna's clients will create an action plan and the means for self-based growth. As their coach, she gives them the proper push they've been seeking to keep them on track and complete their plans.
Donna regularly speaks to local networking groups and small business owners about helping them identify, distinguish and act on the right choices to help them start taking back control of their business and making the lasting change in their life that they've been looking for. Her aim is to help individuals see all change as the growth opportunity it really is!
Donna currently presides as the President of the Chalfont, PA Chapter of BNI (Business Network International), a local business networking group. She also serves as a volunteer with Spark the Wave, a non-profit organization that empowers youth through educational and leadership training programs to be great volunteers and community leaders.

Mark
Semple
Mark Semple is a Certified Comprehensive Coach, graduating from Terri Levine's Coaching Institute, and is the founder of Successful Together Coaching.
As the spouse & dedicated
supporter of a full-time Direct Sales leader, Mark brings unique perspective
& insights to the Direct Sales profession and women in home businesses.
Mark’s purpose as a coach is reflected in his business name –
to show you the way to being Successful
Together. It is the essence of his interaction with his wife,
Cheri, in their life and their businesses.
Active involvement in his wife’s business since day one has given
Mark first-hand experience & insights in the success journey and the
awesome potential of a home business. As Mark met too many women who did
not have the support of their significant other, he decided to do something
about it.
His original focus was on the men who had the opportunity to be supportive. This rapidly expanded to include the women who desired more support, as it became apparent their journey represented the primary opportunity to truly make a difference. The essence of Mark's coaching is relationships & communication, as this is the foundation a business - or a life together - is based upon.
Mark regularly speaks on the topics of gaining support, being supportive and being successful together. He is a regular speaker at regional & national Direct Sales events and is a recognized authority in the area of spouse support in home businesses.
Mark's coaching features a variety of programs & options that combine his comprehensive coaching expertise and Direct Sales/home business experience to overcome support challenges and achieve success together.
