Are you reaching your potential as a leader?

Leaders of all kinds typically find it helpful to have a sounding board- someone with an outside perspective to help them stay true to their vision, stay on top of the priorities and not get sucked into the complex dynamics that can weigh an organization down.  It’s helpful to have that sounding board come from outside your workplace with no stake in any outcome.
Leaders of smaller churches often play a variety of roles in addition to leadership: financial, strategic, management and human resources.  I offer technical assistance in these areas or help you discern when to bring in additional resources.
 As a Leadership Coach, my job is to be a sounding board, reflect back what I'm hearing from you and help you stay on top of the short and long term goals you define for yourself and your place.  Our time together gives you the space to regularly reflect on your system- where it's pulling you off center and where old (potentially unhealthy) patterns are popping up.  As a clergy coach, I have a deep understanding of a Rector, Pastor or Vicar's job, while being outside of your system enough that I have no vested interest in any approach or strategy you might be considering.


Diana's clients say....

"I transitioned to Diana from another coach when I began my first time Rector call at a complex, multi-staffed church. She’s been instrumental in helping me think through and strategize some major challenges thrown my way in the first few months. Helped me identify my own behaviors that weren’t setting me up for success and offered alternative approaches. Her enthusiasm for my parish and me and our success has been a real gift to me in my ministry."

"Diana is a great coach, particularly for parish clergy, because she understands the dynamics of parish ministry intimately. I find the hour I spend with her each month is one of the best time investments I make. Diana is wise in untangling complex congregational dynamics and helping me see a path forward in difficult situations."

"As a the rector of a large and very dynamic parish, I have a diverse and ever-changing set of leadership challenges and opportunities. In just a year of working together, I can see clear differences in my working style, greater effectiveness in my ministry, and a greater sense of clarity about how to approach the work ahead of me. Working with Diana provides me with a much-needed, clear, faithful, and wise voice from outside my context. Diana's coaching helps me focus, discern, and tackle the work of leadership in ways that bring greater impact to my ministry and more vitality to the parish I serve. I am grateful for the ways that Diana helps me tap into my authentic self so that I can lead from a grounded place with deeper insight into how I can bring my gifts to bear on the work of ministry."

I've been studying leadership and living leadership roles for many years.
