About Diane

I believe in Brave. 

I have been teaching women to choose brave for a decade.  Why? Cause I have had to step into this myself again and again.   See my FREE 3 day FREE challenge here! 

I have been called an action-taking creative machine.  This is one of the primary ways I support you.  Not to boast but…..I have created hundreds of courses, programs, and groups since I stumbled into entrepreneurship sideways after losing my counseling career. 

My desire is to inspire women on this brave inspired journey as they create new things… often surprising themselves. 

I am a flurry of activity with my ACTIVATOR and WOO strengths (See below for my top 5)

Some things I am proud of:

• In 2010, I had a big dream.  Then I took action and created a global association. The National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs in 2010 and then sold it in 2017. It is still going strong and get the honor of being the FOUNDER and often speak to the membership

• I got sober in 2013 after hitting my very own rock bottom. My testimonial is on YouTube here and I invited 53 women to share their stories too in a 3 part book series called Rock Bottom is a Beautiful Place. I also talk boldly and when it is relevant about other pieces of my recovery journey:  divorce, infertility, getting out of $37,000 of debt and letting go of cigarettes, chips, diet coke, sugar free gum and vodka.  Not in that order.  LOL

• In 1997, I got my Masters Degree and I worked for 5 years in the counseling and addictions field.  See the irony here.  I still use all of my counseling skills daily but no longer rent an office.  Zoom works just fine and my business clients get the benefit of all of this training.  In 1999, my life took a turn when a client of mine chose suicide. This led me to to getting sued and a long process of starting over. I am grateful for this now… it led me to coaching. But it was a long long process.

• My husband is an entrepreneur.  Why am I proud of this? Because two business owners in the same house is a big deal.  Working in offices in rooms next to each other is rather insane and yet beautiful.  He is a former FBI agent and when he wanted to start his private investigations business he used my skills and talents to get his BUSINESS hat on and now has been rocking and rolling ever since.  Go see how amazing he is here and his media appearances on all sorts of TV shows and interviews! www.JKETEXAS.com
