• Ph.D, Executive Coach Mentored by Diane

  Diane, I really want to thank you again for your time, expertise, guidance and sharing. Your coaching advice has permeated my mind in some subtle ways and I find thoughts and ideas from you floating gently into my mind during sessions now. I absorbed some stuff consciously from you, but it seems also subliminally, as […]

• Ann Polya, President, The Polya Group, Author of Brain Fitness

  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.

• Mike Moran, Executive Coach

  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 […]
