Who are my clients?

My clients cover a wide spectrum of people, all of whom are eager to take action so as to improve the quality of their lives.  For example, while I work with fast-track executives who are strategizing to move even faster, while yet preserving the quality of their family lives, I also coach mothers seeking to develop home-based businesses that will enable them to care for their children while staying at home. 

Some of my clients are already at the peaks of their careers and are preparing for high quality retirement.  Some are on the way up.  Some are wondering which way is up - they need to be affirmed and empowered so that they can learn to trust themselves and their vision.  Some are solo- or micro-business owners, or folks with a dream of becoming business owners. 

Some are students, or graduate students, who find that the accountability of checking in with someone who is neither parent nor instructor, but who treats them as equal partners, helps them to get the most from the college experience.  Some graduate students need help in the arduous move from ABD (all but dissertation) to completion of their degree.  (The viewpoint of an experienced editor who has a background in research methods does not hurt, here, either.)

What they all have in common is a desire to move forward, a willingness to work at whatever their goals may be.  They are united in their eagerness to discover what they can do to encompass a greater and more exciting life than the one they are already living.  I am deeply privileged to work with them, and I am inspired as I see them flourish and grow, as their horizons widen, as they find their true authenticity, and as they begin to live their dreams.

What they say

I was not raised to "blow my own trumpet," but I know that for some folks it is reassuring to know that others have found benefit from working with a coach.  Below are some of the comments that I have received from my clients, for which (and for whom) I am deeply grateful.

 

I greatly benefited from your help! Thank you so much for helping me walk back towards the land of the living! "I would like to thank you for the ongoing benefits I continue to enjoy in my professional life as the result of our prior coaching relationship. During our months as coach and client, we worked together to identify four key areas, or needs, which were not being adequately addressed in my life...Now, just two and a half years later, I can look back on what have been the most rewarding and satisfying years of my 17 year (thus far) career. In that time, I have enjoyed four promotions, and I am earning almost 50% more than I was when I took that first leap. In addition, I have received generous incentives such as bonuses and stock options to encourage me to remain with the company. I strongly believe that your influence and guidance as my personal Coach helped me to learn how to open doors for myself. Not only did I benefit in terms of a more rewarding and fulfilling career, but I believe [my employer] has also benefited in that they have gained a stronger contributor and leader. Thank you for all you've done to help me realize my professional potential and reach for my goals! Investing in personal coaching was the smartest decision I've ever made!" Next page

"Diana, I've listed the reasons why I love our coaching sessions together. Here's the list: Superb listener       Extremely intuitive       Creative Very thoughtful       Articulate       Motivating Empowering     Ability to listen to the client's words and hear what's happening inside the client -- things that the client may not be aware of (sorry, not great wording, but do you get the idea?) Ability to cause the client to experience paradigm shifts. Resourceful -- providing all kinds of email support in just about anything the client requests (from web advice to networking top tens)."

"I want to thank you for taking on the task of being my Coach. You have offered me the wonderful opportunity to finally stop procrastinating, stop the excuses, and hit my issues head on. With your coaching style, you have given me new skills for now and for the future. You have masterfully given those skills to me in a friendly, compassionate way, as not to overwhelm me or scare me away." "You have helped me take a huge step in my personal growth and development... I now realize that because of your help... I have re-focused my life towards financial freedom and abundance." "I must also say that due to your support and guidance I am having a better life. I have implemented more family time and hobbies which are truly more fulfilling. Your support, knowledge and resources have been incredible. Thank you for being there." Next page

"Looking back on it, I feel most grateful for all the coincidences that brought me to you and for your graceful participation in my life since then. "I have found a great role model in you, as a coach, a woman and an abundantly wise human being. You continuously give me permission and encourage me to do my best. I feel happy and free as a consequence. You have not only provided insight, answers and advice when I asked for them, you have kept one step ahead and provided me the gentle nudges or kicks in the behind as needed. Most of all, you have taught me to appreciate and value myself by offering me your free and unconditional acceptance, compassion, validation and support. There is nothing more energizing and empowering for me than to be fully understood, gotten and accepted. You are always making me right and supporting that in me. I have become more willing to change and grow, more able to be, do, get and give what I want, by choice, effortlessly and with passion. Life is good and fun this way. You are indeed my very personal Coach of Choice. "Thank you. I'd like to add special thanks for all the additional time that you gave me when I needed it, the valuable hints and advice, ideas and direction that you so freely shared with me, and free newsletters that touch my heart and keep me connected and last but not least the fact that you want for me what I have not even considered dreaming about: a full and fulfilling life abundant with joy, light, love and laughter. "With love," Next page

"My support from you also doesn't end when the coaching session is over. I am very appreciative of how generous you are in your availability for responses to issues between coaching sessions via email. You respond immediately with your take on the situtation, and/or questions to look at further before responding. That added value benefit is invaluable to me." Next page

Thank you very much for all you have done for me. We started on this journey together back in November and at that time the doctoral defense seemed a long, long way down the road. July 2 at 8 a.m. I'll be defending. Thank you for your encouragement, direction, patience, and for your great talent with the written word. You are incredibly good with your warp-speed way of putting in black and white what I murk around in for weeks. Next page

"What I so enjoy about working with you is how energized and motivated I feel after each session. We're able to go deeper than the mundane processes of organizing file cabinets, making lists, etc. It's wonderful working with someone who really understands my intuitiveness and deep spirituality and can accommodate that." Next page

"I also wanted to express to you how grateful I am that you gave me such constructive criticisms on my own website. Your words were both upbeat and encouraging while at the same time you did not hold back from being completely honest... I refer to your comments and go line-by-line, making the necessary changes to my site. It's far from done, but it does have a much warmer, personal touch to it. Thanks so much for caring enough to offer me constructive criticism." Next page
