Personal and Professional Reference – Annette Wolf:
I had the pleasure of meeting Annette Wolf during an NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) class, and our connection was immediate. Beyond the shared interest in personal development, we discovered a common origin, both hailing from Chicago and its suburbs. Since our initial meeting in 2010, Annette and I have developed a strong and enduring friendship.
Annette’s vibrant personality, coupled with her genuine enthusiasm for learning, has made our friendship a continuous source of joy and inspiration. Our shared roots in the Windy City have provided a unique bond, adding an extra layer of connection to our experiences.
Professionally, I had the opportunity to collaborate with Annette and her husband, a talented dentist, on marketing initiatives and the development of their consulting business’s website. Contributing to their success was not only a professional endeavor but also a reflection of the trust and camaraderie that defines our friendship.
Annette’s commitment to personal growth and her unwavering support make her a valued friend and an exceptional individual. I am grateful for our friendship and the meaningful experiences we have shared over the years.
