To slow down.

To breathe.

To be in community.

To have someone walk alongside me, see the invisible hurdles that have been in my way, and guide/support me as I practice a new way of moving through this world.

Grounded Leadership

Today’s work needs leaders who are self aware and can lead through uncertainty, risk, and change with grounded confidence. When leaders don’t do their own internal work, they work their issues out on their people and cause harm. Grounded Leadership is executive coaching, one-on-one, personalized to you. Together we create a brave space where you can question your thinking, shift your perspective, live into your core values, and have a trusted thought partner to create a brand of leadership that is worth following.

Two Powerful Frameworks:

  • Dare to Lead™ (based on Dr. Brené Brown’s research) – building brave leaders and courageous cultures.

  • DiSC® Communication Style Assessment – understanding your unique style and how to connect effectively with others.

    Includes 2 one hour sessions monthly, DiSC assessment.

Andrea Johnson

Executive Director Green Empowerment

“Diane is an incredible executive coach. She brings a strong mix of professional experiences, tangible tools and immense empathy to her coaching. I worked with Diane for over two years and she helped me understand and improve my individual leadership while helping me problem-solve and show up for my team. As a Dare To Lead™ trained coach she was able to provide me with videos, worksheets and other tactical tools to complement our coaching and she would write up our sessions notes  and help hold me accountable to my own leadership goals. I highly recommend working with Diane!”

“Diane's approach combines wisdom, compassion, understanding, generosity, and pragmatism, and she started her role as my coach before we ended our first call.

Among the many aspects of her support that have been great has been her ability to coach me through multiple stages of my transition. From helping me to build a leadership framework around my core strengths to working through the delicate stages of starting my own business, Diane' focus has been on maintaining my objectivity, listening to my instincts, and practical suggestions on how to stick to my guns.

I recommend Diane to anyone seeking a better understanding of how they can tap into their personal leadership style, and how to actualize it in their current organization or one they wish to start for themselves.”

“Diane consistently demonstrated patience and fortitude while my coach. Her guidance and respect helped me make life changing decisions. She is humble, honest and critical of situations with a mind for doing the right thing.”
