What was one of my biggest takeaways from working with you? That I have ADHD AND I am gifted, so I need to build a business around me, not the other way around. You were instrumental in helping me see the pivots I've taken as strengths, rather than weaknesses. Working with someone who is experienced in helping the business owner, not just the business was everything. Thank you so much for supporting me in a period of transition and uncertainty.

I chose to work with you because you understood how my mind worked. On your podcast, you embodied everything I wanted for myself and my business—confidence, clarity, direction, and a bit of spice. I knew you’d give me honest, constructive feedback that would push me forward without stifling my creativity. Plus, I trusted that you wouldn’t let me get away with the self-sabotage I had been pulling on myself.

“Diann's a powerhouse, a leader, and not for the faint of heart. She demands you do the work, and she's alongside you doing it with you. She understands people, especially women creatives with ADHD, and certainly many others. She asked the right questions and made the right observations. I've never had to spend a lot of time explaining myself to Diann - she just knows, she gets it. I knew she had my back, and still does.”

“Diann's tools for allowing me to process out-loud between meetings helped enormously. Have a thought, an idea? Boom, I can talk it out and have Diann's input in no time! I also process through writing and research. Her assignments, worksheets, and resources made all the difference in helping me understand my own strengths and where I wanted to take my business. On top of that, I loved when Diann challenged me. It wasn't"squishy" with Diann. It was straight-forward, which is EXACTLY what I needed.”

“Diann's approach to "right-sizing" your business was very appealing to me. I hired her because I know she's a straight-shooter, very direct in her support, and could help me achieve clarity to move forward. From day one, I knew I'd made the RIGHT decision. Diann's mentorship was extremely strong and exactly what I needed. Our calls helped me sort out my thoughts, say "Yes" to this, "No" to that, and feel confident about what I wanted.”

“I liked how clear you were, your experience as a therapist, and in particular your experience (personal andprofessional) with ADHD. I gained clarity around focusing on insulin resistance/diabetes, was challenged to shift mindset and the need to transform who I am to be wildly successful. Also - a more indirect takeaway - is that my journey will take longer. As I reflect on it, I need to not get so down on myself for accomplishing something tangible, but that I am much further along.Diann is a no bullshit, fun, experienced coach that is able to hone in on the most pressing issue, and do it in a way that feels supportive, not critical. She has a great podcast too!”

“You understood me more than any other coach or mentor that I have had before, which saved so much time and understanding as you didn't try to push strategies that I already knew weren't how my brain worked. You weren't trying to get me to do things the way they 'should' be done, and no one else understood that. My biggest takeaway from our time together was clarity on how I think, process, and react far differently than the people around me. Understanding my tendencies cleared up my confusion about so much con ict I've had in the past. I've always thought of myself as different, but not in a good way. You validated that yes, I am different, and helped me see it in a different light that is empowering. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly we were able to talk about the root of problems and address head on the problems that were challenging me that week. I felt very seen with you. I found a coach who totally 'gets me' and has helped me understand myself in ways that will help me for the rest of my life. I really appreciate you and our time together! I thoroughly enjoyed learning from you!”

I asked for any recommendations for 1:1 coaches through a coaching forum I was in. Upon having Diann as one of the recommendations, I started listening to her podcast and visited her website. Her no nonsense attitude was exactly what I needed and her expertise in women with ADHD was the cherry on top. This was the accountability I needed to get out of my own way and do the things that without someone kicking me in the ass, I would just as easily put off. The clarity of my purpose. Finding my zone of genius and trusting my gifts. The awareness that I need to maintain my momentum and continue to put myself out there without comparison or worry about what others think. "You can't edit a blank page" I felt Diann's sessions extremely valuable in staying focused and holding myself accountable to move forward and make shit happen. I had spent so much $$$ on diy programs that sat unopened or un nished. There is no substitution for someone who is focused completely on you and your potential. If you need a straight shooter to help you clarify your purpose and you aren't afraid to hear where you are standing in your way, Diann is your girl. Thank you for helping me identify my zone of genius and making me proud to have ADHD!

“I was able to focus on my most profitable service vs chasing too many revenue streams at once. Hired CRO and let go of two people that were not moving the company forward. Started facing conflict instead of dodging it and throwing money at the situation. Changed my perception of my debt story. Negotiated an exit strategy and then turned down the offer because it was not right for me.
I'm more confident about standing in my own boundaries, unapologetically. (most of the time!) I was able to shift the narrative around business growth decisions into a more positive and factual perspective. I am less hard on myself about perceived shortcomings and able to see them as assets.”

“I have a great business coach who will kick your butt when needed, and help you see why you are not achieving what you are wanting to achieve. She will help you develop your idea, not hers or some popular trending business plan. She supports women and helps them grow. I am so much more focused and have made such great strides in my business. I like the framework and access of the program and felt supported and held accountable when needed but not in a condescending way. I am so grateful for our work together.".”

“I've followed the podcast since Day 1 and knew that her former therapist / no BS approach was what I needed. Diann combines the insight of a therapist with the skillset of a business strategist. Her ability to read between the lines and uncover what was behind the procrastination and indecision was spot-on. You'll walk away with actionable steps. The time spent is focused and not a minute is wasted. Well worth it! Our VIP Day was like a gateway drug...I will be back!”

“I credit Diann’s coaching with my increased awareness and being able to see and accept myself in a whole new way. I have worked with four previous ADHD coaches and feel that they each prepared me to work with someone like Diann. She was able to coach me at the highest level, because she truly understands the unique challenges of being a professional and an entrepreneur. She helped me understand that I am a builder and that it’s a need, not a preference.”

“Diann is a badass. I've found her business acumen, insight and guidance invaluable. I really enjoy working with her because she is the perfect mix of smart (ass), intelligent and funny.

I always thought something was wrong with me because I didn’t fit the “Normy” type (Diann’s word) and I don’t check all the ADHD boxes 📦.

“I loved working with Diann. Her combination of intelligence and straight-shooting candor was awesome and happened to be exactly what I needed and it’s clear that she’s invested in her client’s success.
Diann helped me gain a deeper understanding of the fact that I'm in the driver's seat and I create my own life. I became hyper aware of how my default reactions were stopping me from seeing my own strengths and carving out the path forward. The ways she challenges you to look at things differently are effective and transformative”

You truly model the life that you are helping others achieve. You inspire me and have helped me embrace my inner strength.”
