Diana is a career strategy coach on a mission to help you be the boss of your career. What does that mean? She helps her clients understand and how they fit into the corporate world, educates and guide them through the job search and hiring process, and most importantly, take control of their careers so they can be valued, and get paid. Personally, Diana has been on both sides of the hiring table. She began her corporate career in 1999 just before the Internet bust, got laid off, and had to learn how to compete for the same jobs as people with 10+ years of experience. After 6 years, she made her way to hiring manager, where she learned whoever markets themselves the best, gets the job. She now teaches you how to do that with her 1:1 coaching services. In her 8 years of coaching, she’s helped her clients master their career development plans, leadership growth, and job search strategies through workshops and private coaching. Offline, Diana lives in Kansas City with her 5 Clifton Strengths--Input, Learner, Intellection, Maximizer, and Connectedness.
