“Being immersed in conflict with a trusted colleague is disorienting. When I began working with Diane, I felt lost and hurt. She helped me see that my life’s work is inseparable from my life itself. That clarity gave me the steadiness to make difficult, necessary choices about the future of my business.”

“Change agents need partners willing to engage fully in what they are trying to achieve. Partners who will help make their vision a reality by focusing their hearts and minds and courage on the goals at hand. Partners who can help them bridge the gaps between where they are and where they need to be. Whenever I needed such a partner, I found her in Diane. ”

“Diane brought clarity, compassion, and candor to our work. She helped us see our strengths and blind spots without judgment, and supported us in having conversations we had been avoiding. We left with a clearer sense of who we are as leaders and how to work together with greater trust.”

“Working with Di has helped me lead from a more authentic place. She coaches me to hear my deepest voice—and to trust it—an invaluable skill in a world that constantly pulls us away from ourselves. I lead with more confidence now—not because I changed who I am, but because I’m less likely to override my own knowing.”

“When something exciting happens, Diane is who I want to call. When I’m confused or discouraged, my fingers type out her name in a new email. I know she will meet whatever I bring with real enthusiasm and empathy—and with a deep respect for the human truth that we hold power and fragility in equal measure. And just when I feel utterly stumped, she asks a question so simple and so true that everything opens. I can move again.”

“Di creates trust quickly and leads people—almost effortlessly—into conversations they might otherwise avoid. She has a rare ability to find the right words for complex ideas, without ego. She doesn’t put language in your mouth; she helps you discover what you need to say, and how to say it.”

“Our work helped me hear my own voice more clearly and make choices that feel truer to who I am. It changed not just how I work, but how I relate to others.”

“Thank you for the care and attention you brought to our retreat, and for supporting BIPOC participants in being seen and heard. The space you held made difficult conversations possible.”
