“It helped me to propel my business further than I could have ever imagined in just three months,” says Jonathan Kuntze, Owner of Pinacle Health and Fitness, in Elmira and Milverton.  Jonathan is referring to the Business Excellence Training Program developed by Wellington Waterloo CFDC. 

Encouraged by the CFDC’s Board of Directors to be responsive to client needs, General Manager Rick Wittaker decided to create the business training program offering interactive workshops, online training videos, private business coaching and the personal support of a business mentor. 

It is a constantly evolving program that shifts to the needs of the business community.  “I sit in on every workshop, listen to the participants and engage them in discussions on how they are doing to better identify how we can continue to support them.  The business owners love the open discussion and find our speakers extremely helpful and very enjoyable.” says Tina Heathers, who designed and developed the program.
