Introduction: Life Coaching empowers my clients to get to a better place in their lives, both professionally and personally. Most of my clients choose one-on-one coaching in my Naperville, IL office, but some due to location or scheduling, coach over the phone. In addition, I offer monthly coaching groups, and I speak at retreats, staff training, business luncheons, and educational conferences.
I believe that a great professional life begins with a fabulous personal life. I am a professional life coach and certified family life educator with 25 years invested in understanding how people find motivation, build satisfying relationships, change behaviors and love their lives. I inspire people to find clarity when life is overwhelming or confusing, and I help them find motivation to make decisions that lead to productivity and overall happiness.
The 45 Degrees' 90-day coaching model gives my clients time to focus on aspects of life that they want to change, think outside-the-box, to see new perspectives, and take powerful steps of action. What will happen in 90 days with your coach?
1- As your decisions turn into actions, you'll notice they're becoming habits.
2- You'll be confident, knowing that you've made wise decisions to get you where you want to be.
3- Your interactions, relationships, and conversations will be more intentional and effective.
4- You'll sleep better, content that you've been authentic with your priorities.
After 90 days with your own coach, you'll be living better.

"Diane is a phenomenal coach and I can't thank her enough!

"Diane has a perfect combination of a clear natural gift, as well as the developed skills for guiding and coaching others with several aspects of their lives. I worked with Diane for career coaching and currently for marital relationship coaching. Her coaching has been more helpful in my life than several other efforts combined. She is so positive and forward-focused. I carry the positivity I gain through my coaching with her throughout my week and am able to see the world, my career, and my relationship through a brighter lens. When I am asked what I am most grateful for in my life, Diane's coaching is at the top of that list. Diane helped align my confidence, sense of purpose and career directives closer to my inner values for a more cohesive focus. I am motivated in ways not possible without her guidance." Professional Working Mother, Chicago suburbs
"Diane's coaching skill was given to me as a gift at a difficult time in my career. I was skeptical not because of her expertise but that anyone could help me sort out the issues that I had bouncing around my head that were adversely affecting my job. From the very start, I could tell that she was not going to give me the answers, however she was guiding me and being the "voice on my shoulder" to play devil's advocate to help provide me channels to make whatever changes I felt would reduce or remove the barriers that I was experiencing. It was a very organic process with homework that was very effective in providing me the clarity needed to rework my needs, expectations and demands of myself. This in turn lead me to the path necessary to bring my challenges into focus and eliminate them one at a time. She was critical to getting me to the stage of self-fulfillment and career redirection that I have taken. I highly recommend her for any assistance that you may need whether that involves personal or career examination. She is a results-driven expert with high integrity." Senior Manager, Cincinnati, OH
