Her care and passion for her clients’ success is evident in every interaction.

In her previous positions, Dianne successfully interacted at all corporate levels (including C-Levels). She was able to grow in her career and develop strong relationships with executives, management, peers, and team members which allowed her to successfully spearhead major projects while negotiating and navigating bureaucracy. Dianne led teams, influenced peers, and mentored team members in the Fragrance, Agricultural Chemical, Barter, and IT Services industries from large Corporate publicly held companies, to both large and small privately held companies.

Dianne is an abusive relationship survivor having navigated through a long and difficult divorce which resulted in her running a household, working full time the whole time, and raising children as a single mom for 14 years. She dealt with family issues, job losses and job searches, loss of relationships, a lack of confidence and very low self-esteem.
 
Over time, she rebuilt her life, rediscovered herself and strengthened her confidence. As she did, she learned how to stand strong in her abilities, understood her value and embraced her true identity. As her confidence grew, she discovered how to have professional success, personal contentment, and spiritual fulfillment. 
 
Today she walks in the freedom she was designed and created to enjoy. 

Dianne holds multiple certifications including: ICF Associate Certified Coach, Strengths Champion Certified Coach®, DiSC® Certified Coach.
