For nearly 5 years prior to working with Diane, I wanted to make a professional career change. I was unhappy, and it was impacting all areas of my life. I didn’t know where to start and truly didn’t believe a change was possible. Through our work, I was able to shift my thinking, get out of my comfort zone, and begin to apply changes to my daily life. Diane helped me overcome my fear of next steps, find a way forward and held me accountable to my vision and goals. I felt listened too, not judged, cared about, completely focused on my needs / agenda, supported, and able to share my perspective at a deeper level. We had thought provoking conversations that revealed some of my patterns, allowed me to see things differently and then find the right solutions. Diane completely embodies a “heart-centered” approach. Within 7 months of working together, I found my dream job! I am happy, my family is happy, and my professional career is thriving. I did not think making a major career shift and having a rewarding life was possible prior to working with Diane. I would recommend Diane 100% to anyone looking for a coach to support a life-long change.

I can honestly say, without Diane’s coaching, my business would still be in the idea stage. I had it in me, but struggled with where to start. Diane really listened and embraced what I wanted to create. It felt safe to explore ideas and collaborate on solutions with her. Our regular meetings and partnership gave me direction, homework, and accountability. I got things done! This momentum gave me the confidence to keep moving forward. In the process, she helped me to clarify my thoughts, get them on paper and then pitch my business concept to others. In a short period of time from concept to opening, I’m now the proud owner of a city destination for fine wines, gourmet food, gift baskets and community gatherings. It’s everything I hoped for and more!

"The skilled facilitation of Russ and Diane, has truly transformed strategic planning for our agency. We've applied their tools and talents for the overall 2019 Agency Strategic Plan, and the cascading 2019 plan for a key department (Technology). Versus a more traditional planning process used in past years, our sessions are much more energizing, ideas are better and more plentiful, and team buy-in and cohesion are happening organically. Most importantly, the tight, inspiring 2019 plan is driving our team confidently in the same direction, the plan is being met or exceeded, and momentum is accelerating."
