I truly enjoyed our coaching. You have a gift and I ended our sessions really appreciating both the insight and momentum I’ve gained in the last 6 months. Thanks again.
P.S. Thank you as well for the ICF certification guidelines. I definitely have enough hours for the ACC if not the PCC, depending on how far I can go back.
As part of my application process for coach certification through ICF, Diane has reviewed my work as coach and supported me by clarifying essential differences between specific ICF core competencies. In particular, she highlighted key distinctions for me between skills required for “co-creating the relationship” and those for “advancing the action.” I believe that the latter competency is especially important when working with certain business clients. I am very grateful for Diane’s mentoring. She is a personable colleague with the highest integrity.
Diane has a very open and engaging style of communication. She is very balanced in listening and offering ideas when asked.
Diane helped me focus on the one key area I wanted to work on and helped me create specific actions in each session that further helped me test out my on behaviors. This helped me reflect and calibrate my next actions steps.
Diane’s personality is warm and supportive while at the same time maintaining objectivity to help one think through an issue.
I highly recommend Diane and would call on her for future assistance. She is someone I would also like to get to know better from a personal perspective.
Your work on the last day of the program was truly the highlight of the session. It was so helpful to actually “see” coaching concepts that are difficult to grasp through a didactic presentation. Most notably, I was able to see clearly the difference between the client’s desire for transformational change versus performance or skills enhancement. It was also fascinating to see the energy transfer right before our eyes with the clients. Your questions and feedback helped me see these significant coaching processes.
Thanks for all your help. It will take me a while to digest all the information from today’s session!
You have been instrumental in helping me focus – and move forward the action!
Thank YOU, Diane! I learned a lot from you in just three hours and really enjoyed our time together. Thanks for being so generous with your toolkits and your time. You went above and beyond for me.
Diane is a coach’s coach. I used her to get through a challenge and found her style similiar to my coaching style–direct, to the point, yet caring. If you are looking for someone who really cares about helping you get to a different place, yet unwilling to play games, then Diane is for you.
Diane, I wanted you to be aware that my client did not give up…got clarity around her motivation and continued to work on many things. You and your work were a big part of this, and so I wanted you to know about your impact. Thanks for your help with this client and your guidance..it has been invaluable.
As a senior executive, I was highly impressed with Diane’s abilities in her role as Mentor Coach during my coach training at the College of Executive Coaching. Her knowledge of the skill sets required for coaching is impressive and she demonstrated the use of these skills in developing new executive coaches. I definitely recommend her as a coach, and in her role as a mentor for coaches.
Thank you for your very useful mentor coaching –including your 5 step marketing plan and all our discussions that help me clarify what I am doing and set up tactics to get there. I find it less daunting to set overall strategies, but your queries and prompting helped me prune my niche coaching down to the essentials of what I truly enjoy, and the marketing tools –which you did not pressure me to do, enabled me to overcome my natural resistance and set out rational tactics to achieve my goals. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of our sessions and look forward to keeping in touch.
