Diane Testa and Russ Schoen have guided our leadership team’s 1–2-day strategic planning sessions since 2019. As facilitators, they strike a perfect balance between keeping teams focused on the task at hand, and producing a lively environment that has all attendees fully engaged throughout. Diane and Russ have improved our effectiveness in strategic planning to a degree that makes it hard to envision working with anyone else. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Diane is an experienced, authentic coach who quickly uncovers strengths and areas of exploration to help clients grow and flourish. She combines her unique talents of empathy, insight, pragmatism and action orientation with her extensive experience in the business world, to ensure her clients not only achieve the results they seek, but also feel great about the process. Anyone who has the opportunity to spend time with Diane is very fortunate!

As a coach, Diane is incredibly professional, disciplined, empathetic, honest and caring. All the things you would want in a coach who is helping you to achieve all you can imagine. She offers fantastic advice and clear direction on how to get what you are trying to accomplish. She has helped me to stay motivated and focused to achieve my dreams and I owe all my success now and in the future to her direction and mentoring.

Thanks for a deeply engaging, thoughtful and provocative Vision Statement workshop. I came – not exactly skeptical – but wondering if such a presentation could be useful to me. I came away with a decided, “Yes!” Powerful, stimulating, and one I would highly recommend.

When I work with Diane, I receive not only honest feedback but immediately actionable solutions for all aspects of my business. She has a kind and professional way, solid connections and years of experience.

Diane uses a unique inter-personal process which is very powerful. I had previously worked with other goal systems in various corporate and personal contexts, but, through her guidance, I found major progress in developing a mission statement at an important transition stage. Diane made it a very practical and rewarding experience.
