My Executive Coaching provides personalized learning with Leaders who may want to enhance their impact and influence, or for emerging leaders desiring to reach their higher potential. Every leader may have a blind spot and for sure, each has an opportunity to grow their impact and positive effect. Through assessments and focused questions and conversations, I support leaders in their growth and offer accountability to strengthen their skills, presence and influence through strategic communication skills.

academic coaching

I call my Academic Coaching “Brain 101”! Neuroscience confirms that we have different “learning styles”-a blend even and not “either or”----when our thinking modes interact. I help learners of all ages recognize how to access the combination of thinking abilities they may need for different learning events or content. The robust assessment I use to identify the variety and strength of styles is The Highlands Ability Battery.

Horses Never Lie

“Diane helped me develop and execute a plan for a win-win relationship. She even made an on-site visit to experience the frantic environment. For two years, we focused on what I wanted to accomplish in this position and how I could stay focused – while contributing to the organization. When it was time to leave the company, she helped me plan a graceful exit and I have remained on good terms with the family.

Many thanks, Diane, for your insights and support!”

For over 30 years, I helped facilitate rapid and successful change for clients, individually and in teams. I am also a Senior Partner with Elevation Leadership Partners, Coaching & Consulting Group.

“Diane Dean has been my coach for almost a year now. When I came to her initially, I was feeling directionless and frustrated with where my career was at. Fast forward to today- I am still at the same company, same department. I won a spot on our company club trip, I got promoted, I now manage a team. More importantly, I am happy and fulfilled in what I’m doing. ”
