Nice Things People Say
“Diane, thank you so much for the time and effort that you put into helping me these past couple of weeks. These reports and your analysis of them have been absolutely amazing and game changing for me. Your support, kind words, and occasional kicks in the ass were also very much appreciated. You opened yourself up and really gave everything to help me. I sincerely recognize and appreciate that. I know that you love what you do. This is a gift that you have earned through so many trials and so much hard work. Thank you for sharing this gift with me.
I will certainly keep in touch as my journey develops. As you know, I remain optimistic ;) I am looking forward to utilizing all of this information to make the largest impact possible, wherever I land. Every time that I land.
Very sincerely yours, Lance, COO”
“One of my major challenges is learning how to become a good supervisor. I have the qualifications and the ability, but I’ve never “officially” done it before and for whatever reason didn’t think I ever wanted to. Diane has consistently encouraged and instructed me on how to overcome this and it’s working. I have come to accept that regardless of age, background, or even ability, most people need guidance. Some more than others, but most do, and there’s an art to providing it. This part of my coaching has proven the most affective I believe.
Secondly, I have very much enjoyed having a completely unrelated, neutral and objective resource in which to express my family dynamics (I first used problems, but perhaps dynamics is more politically appropriate). Discussions in this area have been helpful and in a way comforting by confirming that I am not to blame for anything and that I am accurate in my perception of the situation.

“I was surprised on how well the sessions have worked. I was suspicious at first how someone across the country could help me not knowing the organization or me. However, the individual assessments created a lot of insights that were unbiased and helpful.
I’ve also recognized that you can’t change other people, but only yourself. I think I’ve always known that, but these sessions really make you look and examine yourself, no one else, just you, and how you can change your environment by changing yourself.

“I found [your speech] very helpful, especially the explanation of the DISC styles, which I hadn't heard of before that night. After looking through them more closely, I don't doubt that I will start using that information in my interviews. J.G., Editor”
“We have worked very well here, so I can see improvements. I am very happy that we have [had] valuable conversations on the subject [of my career]. I am very pleased with this aspect! I want to make it clear that you have exceeded my expectations in this item!
I am already aware of some actions I can take to become more present, even though I am based in Brazil. I will certainly be better able to do this next year because I am already aware of my main activities in this role.
Diane, you are a very attentive and welcoming person who respects the coachee (his / her limits, context etc) and who is focused above all on generating well-being and prosperity. Thank you for taking such care with my coaching process! ElM, Regional Talent Manager, Brazil, South America”
