Diana's Coaching
Every person deals with different situations in their own way, according to their respective experiences. To bridge the gap between the way you handle situations now and the way you would like to handle them in the future, start by being open and honest with your life coach. Diana will use different ways to engage and support you as you tackle situations and challenges. For example, Diana will ask questions to gain a better understanding of your issues; help you to view your professional and personal matters and aims through a broader lens in order to realize your vision for a more meaningful and better quality of life; re-frame your mindsets in order to free yourself, and harness your inner resources to realize your goals. At the same time, Diana encourages you to optimize your inner strength, which allows you to progress and reach your objectives in life. Diana's coaching is action-focused. She encourages you to be the enriching agent of positive changes along your path to success.
Service Spheres
Diana's coaching focuses on personal development, leadership and executive development, interpersonal relationships, balance in self-care, confidence-building, addressing difficult conversations and conflict resolution. Interpersonal relationships include employee-to-employer, student or customer-to-staff, and peer-to-peer connections at work and home, as well as in social circles. Diana also welcomes any request to work together in other fields according to your interest. Examples include staying motivated to find and work with a job and prioritizing goals.​
Fluidity & Accountability
As you increase your self-awareness and begin to notice that the course of your life is changing, you may wish to alter your flight plan—your objectives. For example, the timeframe for attaining your objectives might be unexpectedly different, depending on varying circumstances.
The way you receive your coaching may change accordingly. You control your progress at a speed that best works for you; however, the level of commitment you hold for attaining your objectives is a main determining factor for your outcomes.
Your coach will encourage and support you addressing your current situations without neglecting your flight plan. Communication between you and the coach is essential to staying on track, so that you can reap benefits from coaching.
Coachees
Diana communicates in American Sign Language and written English. She is ready to work with Deaf and hearing people, regardless of gender, occupation, disability, ethnicity, religion or age (above 21 years old).
Coaching Sessions
The more frequent the coaching sessions, the better your progress. A commitment for 12 sessions at 50-minutes each is highly recommended but not required. Unlimited email support is available for a limited period of time. Group coaching sessions are available by request.

What People Say...
Brienna Herold
"My partner and I worked with Diana because we were struggling to get a business off the ground due to our working dynamics. Her advice planted a seed that shifted how we saw things, and after some reflection, we figured out how to work together more smoothly. Within a year, we successfully launched Signs of Good Food and we're still applying her advice as partners in both life and business. I recommend Diana's coaching because she gave me clarity and direction, especially in working with a partner on a shared business. I've also seen how her guidance benefits others. Her supportive presence makes the coaching experience even more impactful."
Rebecca S.
"From the beginning, Diana was easy to talk to and emanated warmth. As the coaching journey progressed, I became more comfortable sharing. From the experience, I have become more comfortable with my strengths and less afraid of making mistakes, which allows me to connect with (more) people more wholly and genuinely. I've learned to view conversations as entities that are dynamic and both the result and foundation of connection. I've learned to prioritize that connection above any mental roadblocks I set for myself. I would absolutely recommend Diana's coaching to other people! She has a knack for meeting people where they are letting them guide their own journey, while she provides encouragement and practical support that can be implemented for tangible benefits."​

"I felt so comfortable with Diana that I was able to share myself with her. I did not sense judgment on her part. She helped me to reframe my thinking process and practice it with the tools she shared with me. I would recommend her. She is a native user of American Sign Language. It is a rare gem in the Deaf world."
Team Building Session Participant
“Diana’s facilitation is top-notch because her energy is contagious. I love how she fills in the gaps after we share about ourselves by bringing up something related to the topic we learned from each other. I definitely would highly recommend Diana because of her energy. Her activity made us feel safe and comfortable sharing interesting things about ourselves with each other as teammates. This was the perfect team-building activity."
Letting Go Workshop
Participants
“This was by far the best workshop I have attended. Diana’s techniques are easy to understand and clear on how to apply to my life."
​
“I had never heard about there being certain techniques to help me ‘let go.’ I enjoyed learning these techniques. I felt the timing of the workshop went well - I thought 1 hour and a half would feel long, but it didn’t…I thought it was good as is, I can’t think of anything I wish I had learned more about. It already exceeded my expectations of what we would discuss and learn."
​
“I loved Diana’s class and I absolutely love her empathic awareness and humanity! She clearly has done a lot of profound inner work and I admire that very much."

Teacher at a remote school
“Diana quickly understood our unique school context and our need as hearing educators to better work with our Deaf student. She challenged me in her clear and direct instructional style to refine and extend my ASL usage. She never let me get away with slopping signing. She's more than just our instructor; she's a trusted mentor and sounding board. She has helped us navigate our way as our student's ASL acquisition and curiosity about learning and the world grows in leaps and bounds. We've shared our joy about his progress with Diana and she has genuinely reflected our happiness back to us. She's helped us realize that we are part of a larger picture that's making a difference in this young man's life."

“I felt more confident in myself and my process as a creative. Diana is good at listening and recognizing one’s inner strengths. It was reassuring to work with someone with a calm, attentive energy. She did not have an agenda like others might have, instead she walks with us while we figure things out in the moment. She did wonderfully in our sessions. I miss working with her - my natural inclination is to want to support her in what she does because I felt she gave me so much."
