George Speaks
Diane is a very personable, passionate, and honest person. She is deeply committed to helping her clients find the best possible solutions for themselves. She takes the time to ask excellent questions, and she gives recommendations to help you decide which course of action to take. She is reasonable, and very flexible. It is my pleasure to recommend her as a Career Coach/Counselor and as a person of the highest integrity.
George used career coaching to make a major life transition from semi-skilled work to becoming an accountant. He has completed an accounting degree and found work with a family-friendly firm which was important to him as a family man who is active in his Atlanta community.
Yanna Speaks
As someone who sees herself more as a follower than a leader, the idea of starting my own organization made me queasy. Working with Diane helped me take a new, very practical look at my idea by examining its viability and designing its development. In our sessions, Diane presented me with important and thought-provoking questions as well as suggestions on how to build my organization. Diane wasn’t a cheerleader. She was a serious partner in building a conversation about my professional development, vision, skills, and future.
Diane encouraged me, but she also challenged me. One of the most helpful components of our sessions was the homework assigned. Week after week, Diane required the completion of important work that we both saw as necessary “next steps” to the birth of a new organization. It was because of our weekly deadlines that I was able to brush aside my personal insecurities and proceed with tasks that would have otherwise paralyzed me.
I owe a big thank you to Diane for helping me realize that I have the capacity to carve my own career path and give meaning to my work.
Yanna is founder and director of a community-based organization working to inform parents in the Washington, D.C. area about local environmental threats to children’s health. She lives with her husband and child in Washington, D.C
Nancy Speaks
Diane helped me get my job search right. I had been looking too long and I had no idea what wasn’t working. I started to think it was hopeless. Feedback from family and friends didn’t work. I finally decided to use a career coach and I selected Diane. Good choice!
What helped me was the individualized attention I got. Diane gave structure that was individualized to fit me. I got frank and helpful feedback on my search, my resume, on how I was presenting myself. Diane helped me create a new search and to stay with it until I landed a position I wanted. The investment in Diane’s services was well worth it.
Nancy now works in community relations with a growing start-up and she enjoys the chance to put on several hats in a young dynamic environment. She lives with her long-term partner in Atlanta.
Drew speaks
I was in serious need of a serious career change. I had been unhappy for years. I had too many ideas and stayed confused. Once I began working with Diane, I was in a regular schedule and I had a coach. And I never missed a meeting. Diane told me that I was an A student and that we would have a great outcome. She was right. She gave me the guided support that I needed. I believe that Diane is in her work for the right reasons and I recommend her with enthusiasm. Working with her has changed my life.
