CEO, Preceptor
10th Dot®
As the preceptor for this boutique consulting and coaching firm, Vonda engages human and system development methodologies to fulfill its mission, You at your best; Your endeavors thriving. Her collaborative approach attracts extraordinary leaders from all sectors as clients, contributors, and collaborators.
In 2012 her husband and 10th Dot founder, Yogiraj Charles Bates, died in a Minnesota hospital from complications of hospitalization. Her desire to understand how one of the most common preventable deaths (hospital-associated venous thromboembolism) went undetected inspired Vonda to, additionally, direct 10th Dot's principles and her expertise toward healthcare safety and other high risk/high benefit industries.
