The Power of a Thought Partner When It’s Time to Pivot

When your established coaching or consulting business starts to feel a bit stagnant and you recognize it’s time to pivot, finding the right mentor is a must. When Jen Liddy reached out to me, she was at a crossroads, unsure of how to move her business forward. She needed a clear direction and someone who could help her get clarity and act on it.?

Jen’s decision to hire me was influenced by my reputation and approach, but also because we have worked together in the past and she knows I deliver results. In her words, "Diann's approach to 'right-sizing' your business was very appealing to me. I hired her because I know she's a straight-shooter, very direct in her support, and could help me achieve clarity to move forward."

From the beginning, Jen felt reassured: "From day one, I knew I'd made the RIGHT decision. Diann's mentorship was extremely strong and exactly what I needed." Our weekly calls enabled Jen to organize her thoughts, make decisive choices, and gain confidence in her direction. She highlighted the effectiveness of our work together, saying, "Our calls helped me sort out my thoughts, say 'Yes' to this, 'No' to that, and feel confident about what I wanted."

One unique aspect of our coaching relationship was the use of Voxer for asynchronous support between coaching calls. Jen used this tool for brainstorming, verbal processing, and accountability our live calls. Over our four months together, she achieved her desired level of clarity in several critical areas:

• Where she wanted to take her business
• Who she wanted to work with (and who she did not)
• What her offerings would be, designed to fit her life, work style, and energy

Jen appreciated the comprehensive and personalized support she received: "Diann gave me the support and resources to figure out how to move forward, to see my expertise with more confidence, and to design a business I am back in LOVE with!"

What made this mentorship truly special for Jen was the personalized approach I took. She emphasized, "I thought of Diann as my 'thought partner' - and she allowed me to strategically redesign my business WHILE RESPECTING my personal needs, style, approach, energy, and personality." This contrasts with many business coaches who often have rigid programs or systems. Instead, I worked with Jen to use my framework in a way that supported her unique needs, customizing it to her preferences and learning style.

Jen’s journey with me underscores the transformative power of personalized coaching. If you’re feeling stuck, unsure of your next steps, and ready to take decisive action, I can help you gain clarity and move forward with confidence.?

By the way,? my specialty is working with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, but this does not apply to Jen.? She hired me because she values my strengths and skills, not because she has ADHD.? This is just a reminder to you, if you have been a follower of my work but think you have to have ADHD in order to work with me. Not true.? You also don’t have to be female, as I work with all genders.??

Jen chose me because she wanted customized, 1:1 coaching, strategy, and mentorship from an experienced coach who is a straight shooter and commits fully to empowering her clients to reach their goals.?
