Testimonials

"From the day I met Dianne Gardner in 2006, I knew she would fill a void in my professional life.  Not only as a former Director, but more recently as a professional coach and mentor, Dianne provided me the tools I needed to regain my focus and re-build my confidence in myself and in my career.  With a gentle yet unyielding disposition, Dianne challenged me to look deep within myself and review areas of where I stood strong and which areas of weakness I needed to improve.  More importantly, with high level analytical tools and statistical programs, we reviewed the root causes and outcomes of my professional foundation.  Dianne and I worked together for a little over 3 months.  Five months later, I was in a new role with a bigger salary, in a different company that offered many more opportunities for advancement.  Dianne is made of the highest ethical fiber and has a true genuine passion and wisdom for what she does.  If you are looking to re-connect with what brings out the best in you and establish professional and personal adjustments, I strongly recommend Dianne Gardner as your advisor and coach."

"While transitioning back to the healthcare industry after several years of self employment, I elected to work with Dr. Dianne Gardner for Career Consulting. I was looking for guidance and tools to work with all styles of leadership. She introduced her assessment for development process in a welcoming and easy to access manner. I embraced the comprehensive overview of my assessment results which were provided through a 3 ½ hour feedback session and also included narrative reports, graphs, and grids. These were outstanding guides and references that illustrated my strengths and potential developmental opportunities. In particular, the feedback from Dianne was invaluable because she helped me further discover myself (personally and professionally), as well as teaching me how others perceive me and why.  Dianne helped me create specific action steps for which I was accountable. I was thrilled when I achieved my first goal of a salary increase four months prior to my targeted completion date. Dianne also helped me realize who I am as a leader, and I now have the tools to improve relationships, understand situations, and better communicate with my peers and Senior Leaders."
