Meet the Founder:
Diane Dean is the Founder of The Learner's Edge. She has the business acumen and experience combined with a deep understanding of psychology, learning and human dynamics. As a Master Certified Coach through the International Coach Federation, Diane has been coaching since 1988.
“Diane was very flexible and fun to work with. She worked with me on my business startup and was a mentor to me. Since our first call, I have felt very comfortable working with Diane. She always had great insight into the broad topics which we chose to work on in each session. The assessments we worked through together gave me a picture of myself that I can use to make better informed choices about how I choose to work and interact with others. Also they showed me my strengths and how to make the best use of them. Diane kept me accountable, but in a way that it always remained my agenda.

Assessments and Certifications
“Diane is able to do something rare; she strikes just the right balance of listening and coaching and it allows her clients to feel like her guidance is custom-tailored to them. I underwent months of leadership coaching with Diane last year in order to improve my abilities. Not only did I take away general leadership skills, her ability to connect allowed me to understand the nature of people, organizations, and other leaders. She often got so involved in helping that it would be difficult to stop at the end of a coaching session! To those who will have the privilege of working with Diane in the future, you can expect excellent results from the experience.”
