"Diane helped me move from a position that I had been in for eight years. She helped me see my strengths through the use of metaphors via her essential circles model which were validated by additional assessment tools. Her coaching approach was very sincere, encouraging, and most effective. I'm grateful to Diane, her approach, and her essential circles model."
Sue Lawler, CPA, MBA
Associate Director, Rush University Medical Center
Inspire confidence
“I am starting a new job tomorrow as VP of Human Resources. I think my meeting with you was a very pivotal moment in my last six months of figuring out what I want in my career. In my interviews with this company, I was able to convey what you helped me understand about my natural strengths. Diane, thank you again for spending the time with me!”
Teresa Stanula, Human Resources Vice President
AST Corporation
Promote employee retention
"It clarified what I am good at and what I don’t enjoy so I can begin realigning my role with Schneider. Clarifying what someone enjoys and aligning it to their career is extremely important to employee retention and productivity."
Zach Tinkler, US Control Panel Builder Segment Manager
Validate employees' worth
“In my opinion, it's one thing to have an idea of who you think you are as a person, but another to have an evidence based discussion to affirm that idea. This was truly a unique experience and I thank my coaches for their time and help! Employees can be more productive and happier by knowing their talents and strengths. Through the program, I was able to identify possible next steps for my career."
Dee Bhawmik, Account Manager
Spark "Aha" moments
"I better understand how I operate, what makes me tick and opened my eyes to different ideas. It’s clear where my strengths layover my core responsibilities and in those areas, I’m on the bleeding edge within my team. One "aha moment" is that some of the tasks that I execute on a daily basis are not 100% aligned to my “Core” role. Now I have the ability to understand what motivates me in a way that allows me to operate at a higher level of performance."
Garrett Abbott-Frey, U.S. Enclosed Drive Solutions Offer Manager
Provide value and clarity
"No matter where someone is in their career or how many of these types of programs they have already attended, this program is unique and will provide value and clarity around who they are, their strengths and ways to use this information to an advantage - both professionally and personally."
Willie M., IT Manager
Gain clarity
"I gained greater clarity on how to apply my talents to my job, gathered information to know what is available, and got some good advice on how to grow within the company. I found the CAREER essentials program extremely insightful into my own strengths and enlightening around the talent alignment."
Nicole Harshbarger
Service Sales Engineer
Build leadership skills
"CAREER essentials is a great program to start building on your leadership skills to determine what you’d like to do in your career, and it’s a great starting point for you and your manager. I was able to gain some knowledge about strengthening my leadership skills as well as determine development goals and next steps for my career path."
