"Dianna does not bring a cookie-cutter approach to coaching. Rather she utilizes assessments, tools and coaching specific to an individual's needs. Her calm and caring demeanor allows for a relationship of trust and confidence to develop. This trusting relationship opens the door to true and meaningful introspection and allows the individual to receive feedback in a non-defensive and constructive manner. With this foundation, Dianna leads her clients down a road of continued personal and professional growth and development."

Assessments

These robust tools offer a well-rounded and holistic view of your unique talents, gifts, and challenges. I have chosen these specific assessments because they offer fundamental insights into your distinct style for developing and mastering personal effectiveness and success. They can stand alone, but together they provide a powerful cadre for significant learning and achievement.

Strengths Assessment
I help my clients identify their strengths so they can develop and consistently engage them. For many people, naming their strengths proves to be challenging. For the most part, we are not raised to talk about or regard our strengths. Most of our culture focuses on how to overcome weaknesses. So, I decided some time ago to use an assessment to help people acknowledge, appreciate, and build on their strengths. Research indicates that if you capitalize on your strengths you are more likely to be successful and fulfilled at work and at home. Coaches help athletes recognize, develop, and take advantage of their strengths. The Strengths tool helps you name your talents. I help you engage and maximize them for optimal success in reaching your goals and aspirations.

Emotional Quotient Inventory (EQ-i)
The EQ-i, which accurately defines and assess the 15 skills that constitute emotional and social intelligence, is the only emotional intelligence self-report rating that has been scientifically demonstrated to be both reliable and valid. Good relationships and coping strategies are the key to success in every area of human activity. In the research there is an incontrovertible link between emotional intelligence and proven success in peoples personal and working lives. In my coaching, the EQ-i has been a valuable tool to provide people with a greater awareness and understanding of their internal world, how they cope with change, handle stress, and their overall view of their current reality and the future. The EQ-i will be an invaluable tool within the CORE Journey to help you reach your goals.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator is the widest used personality inventory in the world. The MBTI helps people identify their unique gifts and preferences for energizing, perceiving, decision-making, and organizing. The information and feedback enhances understanding of yourself, your motivations, your natural strengths, and indentifies areas for potential growth. I have used the MBTI for over 20 years and continue to be amazed at the depth of understanding and insight people gain from this instrument. The MBTI provides an excellent lens to look at distinct ways each one of us can engage our personal effectiveness.

Communication Preference Questionnaire (CPQ)
The Communication Preference Questionnaire is a simple, yet compelling way to understand interpersonal communication. I’ve used the CPQ with my students, clients, teams, and my family. The outcome is always a deeper awareness of how our words affect others and ourselves. The CPQ provides a look at our values, focus, humor, and energy. It gives information on trigger words, areas for improvement, and blindspots. I use it during the CORE Journey when we explore self-talk, energy renewal and management, and communication with people who may be involved or affected by your growth and development. This is an excellent Teambuilding tool to improve effectiveness and productivity.

Team Emotional and Social Intelligence Survey (TESI)
I use the TESI (Team Emotional and Social Intelligence Survey) to assist teams in their effectiveness and productivity. The TESI is designed to enable team members and their leaders to systematically evaluate their teams performance and understand the seven critical behaviors of emotional/social intelligence that are requisite for building high-performing teams: Team Identity, Motivation, Emotional Awareness, Communication, Stress Tolerance, Conflict Resolution, and Positive Mood.
