Career and Leadership Coaching

We work with professionals at a crossroads. This includes people (across levels and roles) exploring what’s next in their careers or working toward a much-needed career pivot. This also includes managers and executives looking to develop and increase their effectiveness as leaders of teams and organizations.

What our coaching clients share is a desire to thoughtfully change both themselves and their role or relationship to their work.

  • Career Coaching and Advising

    Clarify and pursue your next meaningful step.


    Whether you’re planning a slight or significant career pivot, stepping more fully into your leadership power, or launching or expanding a business, it can be a struggle to find your focus. You need to be able to see clearly and understand how your experience and expertise translates to value for your colleagues or clients. We work together to clarify where you are headed and deal with any limiting beliefs keeping you from going for it.

  • Resume and Interview Prep

    Get really good at telling people about yourself.


    Your value proposition, and how you communicate it, needs to sound like you, represent your capabilities and values authentically, and present a frictionless experience for prospective employers, partners, and clients. We work together to surface the deep answers about your future direction. Then we help you communicate that to the rest of the world by crafting your story and the vehicles and language you use to tell it.

Chelsea C. Hayes, CEO of The Coaching Factory, smiling with arms folded

"I have made a living being an executive coach to CEOs and celebrities all over the world. Diane Knoepke being MY Coach has been the safest haven and most special privilege.

There has not been a problem I've presented to Diane that was new to her. She (gently) guides me in untangling complex, nuanced situations. She constantly pushes me closer to myself, and reminds me of the highest vision I have for myself. Her work with me challenges me to consider possibilities I didn't know existed all while introducing me to powerful frameworks, thought leaders and resources. She profoundly enhances the quality of my life and I hope everyone finds a coach they trust as much as I trust Diane."
