Diane has an incredible calming presence allowing one to feel totally safe and supported while talking with her. She is full of humor and life bringing great energy to any conversation. I have also take the opportunity to read and work through the exercises in her book Your Personal Renaissance which allowed me to gain even greater insight into how to lead a more fulfilling life."

What people are saying about Diane’s coaching, mentoring, and leadership:

Hello! I'm Diane Dreher, PhD, a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), certified by the International Coaching Federation. I'm deeply committed to helping people discover their personal strengths, reach out to follow their dreams, and live with greater joy and vitality. 


The Journey of Discovery

Perhaps like many of my clients, you're standing at a crossroads between your life now and the life you desire. As your coach, I can help you build a strong bridge from where you are now to where you'd like to be. 


Using strategies from positive psychology that have helped thousands of people flourish, I can help you discover your own personal strengths, set a goal you can believe in, and chart a successful path to your goal, overcoming any roadblocks along the way as you create the life you've been waiting for. 


I grew up with a sense of discovery. Following my father, a United States Air Force pilot, I traveled to new assignments across the country and around the world, learning more about other people, other cultures, and myself. 


In a larger sense, I believe that each of us is on our own personal journey of discovery--to learn more aout who we are, connect with a deep sense of purpose, and reach out to share our gifts with the world. I also believe that this journey continues in new dimensions throughout the changing seasons of our lives.
