Career Coaching

You’re ambitious, intelligent and ready to navigate your career with intention.

You know you’re meant for greater purpose, greater influence, and greater impact.

What you need is a trusted, experienced, and down-to-earth corporate business leader to be your partner on your journey.

Regardless of where you are in your career journey, rest assured, your dream is within reach.

Perhaps you’ve built a corporate career and love what you do. You find yourself thinking ahead to what your next chapter could look like.

Perhaps you’ve dreamt of making a major career pivot for years. If only you weren’t held back by golden handcuffs, self-doubt, commitments, and a slew of other external factors.

Perhaps you’re in the midst of a career transition. You may be actively searching for a new role, preparing to start a new role, or adjusting to the demands of a brand-new role.

Perhaps you are stuck, or possibly even miserable. You find yourself looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, but cannot find the way out.

Our Approach to 1:1 Career Coaching

Just as every client is unique, every client’s experience with coaching will be unique. Generally, we engage in the following types of activities during our coaching relationship:

ALIGN

Objectives

We will begin our work together by aligning on your objective - often this is whatever it is that prompted you to explore working with a coach. Each time we meet, you’ll also set a session-specific goal. Alignment is essential to ensuring we spend our time together in the way that will be most valuable to your growth.

EXPLORE

Insights + Learnings

You’ll uncover insights and learnings about yourself. We may explore and discuss your values, interests, and skills; your definition of success. You’ll be encouraged to imagine what’s possible and to articulate your vision. We may leverage coaching tools and/or assessments if appropriate.

PLAN

Goals + Strategies

Energized and inspired by your vision for what’s possible and insight into what success means to you, you’ll identify specific strategies and tactics to create an action plan that feels right for you, and to identify accountability systems available to you.

ACTION

Implementation

There’s no better way to build confidence than by taking action. We may discuss the actions you take (or do not take), challenges you encounter and ways to overcome them, actions to start/stop/continue, and most importantly, we’ll celebrate successes!

*a note on coaching

* The Explore-Plan-Action activities featured here are illustrative and typically done in sprints. Coaching is not a one-size-fits-all process. As the client, you will set the priorities for our relationship and for each session, and we will use our time in the way that you want to use it to help you move towards achieving your goal.

As your coach, I’ll work with you to help you uncover what success looks like for you.

Success looks different for each person - and it may look different at different points in one’s life, too.

I’ll work with you to imagine what’s possible, to think big, and to set an audacious vision - so that you may navigate your career (and your life!) with intention.

  • Praise

    “Diana has a very good understanding of human nature and the business world; her experience is very well balanced. I never doubted that she was laser focused on helping me figure out what was best for me.”

    - Head of CX, Global IT Consulting Company

  • Praise

    “When I found myself facing a challenging career transition, Diana was an absolute lifeline. I was grappling with a tough decision between two very different job offers—one in the for-profit sector and the other in the nonprofit world. I was unsure which path to take and felt overwhelmed by the weight of the decision. Diana not only helped me reflect on my previous experiences but also guided me as I decided to take a leave of absence from my current role to reassess my priorities. She encouraged me to explore my passions and trust my instincts, which was invaluable during such a pivotal time.”

In every instance that I've reached out to Diana, I've found that she listens very carefully to what I'm trying to achieve, and helps me get to a decision that I'm comfortable with to overcome my challenges or make decisions. I have never regretted any decisions I have made thanks to Diana and her approach. She is an incredible resource.”
