Dianne has a very effective coaching style that balances the business and human elements of leadership. She has worked with several of our key executives and helped them push through some hard spots in their leadership development and team effectiveness. This has resulted in a much more aligned and effective Leadership Team. The results of her coaching were so noticeable to some of the other members of the team, that they have requested that she be allowed to coach them too! I would highly recommend Dianne for any executive coaching needs.

Dianne’s work transformed individual contributors into company leaders by enabling them to understand the importance of a global perspective in team management and decision-making. Instead of thinking merely of their individual responsibilities, Dianne’s disciples consider the overall goals, objectives and missions of the company. They are now capable of participating in key decisions regarding internal and external matters that effect the company.

“My experience with Dianne clearly helped make me a better leader. Dianne helped me identify specific goals, and formulate a plan of action, all the while providing ongoing support for implementation of my plan. We continually analyzed the results and refined our approach. I am now definitely on track to meet my goals! I have a new found appreciation for coaching. Allocating time to reflect, refine and consult has proven to be a very valuable tool. I began coaching members of my team in the hope that they get similar benefits from coaching.”

“You were a great help to me. I think of all of your coaching tips before I go into meetings and it really helps me to be very centered and effective. You were also terrific at focusing all of my energy into a single direction. Your guidance has helped me achieve exactly what I set out to do.”

Molly Miles President of Immersive Marketing.

The 1-1 nature of our coaching was better than any other leadership experience Ive had. There was better guidance, more sharing, confidentiality and trust. These helped me address challenges without defensiveness.

One of Diannes biggest strengths is that she allows the whole person to be involved in the coaching, both the business person and the private person. She puts perceptions in front of her clients without being judgemental, and then helps people deal with those perceptions. She respects her clients.

Christine Hahn Senior Director of Information Technology at DIRECTV

Dianne's style is to the point, helps you get clear in your thinking, generous with information and totally supportive and encouraging. Dianne is on my short list of coaches I recommend without reservation.
