Testimonials

“Dian is an exceptional teacher and a wonderful coach. I enjoyed taking a graduate assessment course at Fielding Graduate University from her. She also coached me through the StrengthsFinder assessment process. She not only coached me on my results; she also graciously took the time to explain how I could use the instrument in my coaching. She is very knowledgeable about assessments and freely shares that knowledge. She always includes ‘value-added’ items like offering to walk through an outline of a StrengthsFinder class that I am proposing at work. As a teacher or a coach, I liked the way she ‘leads me to think and grow.’ I would gladly take another class from her and look forward to an opportunity to work with her again.”
