Outside of her professional work, Dianne is an avid advocate for community engagement and wellness. She supports initiatives like the Healing Meals Project, which delivers organic meals to those in need, and For All Ages, which fosters intergenerational connection and mentorship. Known among friends as a sunset chaser, she enjoys writing, kickboxing, and immersing herself in nature. Her lived experiences—from navigating personal loss and adversity to leading and mentoring others—fuel her passion for helping leaders and teams unlock their full potential, creating a ripple effect that strengthens families, communities, and organizations alike.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to the meaningful relationships I’ve built and nurtured throughout my professional journey. Even three years after becoming an independent coach, I take pride in maintaining strong connections with the people I’ve had the privilege to work with. These relationships are not only the motivation behind what I do but also the core reason I am so passionate about inspiring and connecting with others.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
For young women entering the coaching and consulting field, I encourage getting to know yourself deeply—your passions, your motivations, and even your fears. Facing those fears and embracing your authentic self creates a strong foundation that allows you to trust your own path and lead with confidence. Understanding who you are at your core is the first step to inspiring others effectively.
