“I hired Diane as my career coach at a point in my career where I had no clear direction or path. I was looking to re-invent myself but to still utilize my passions and strengths.

Through her extensive assessment tools and expert leadership coaching, she was instrumental in my journey. She helped me realize that I should not settle for any "job" but to keep looking for the ideal fit in an organization that would appreciate my talents and encourage my personal growth.

Diane really knows how to teach a professional how to look deep inside and is very inspiring. She was always readily available to me for my questions and even continued coaching me through a series of interviews I had been on.

I have landed an opportunity now that is both rewarding and challenging and I have to thank Diane for helping me to be in a position where I could recognize the right move for me. Diane was recommended to me and now it is my turn......I would recommend Diane Kubal and her essential circles process to any individual or organization!”

"Diane helped me become unstuck and 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."

“How often are you given the opportunity to discover your true essence? What is your role in life? What are the activities in your life that truly represent who you are? When I met Diane, I was working for her as one of Fulcrum Network's executive coaches. As the relationship grew, I discovered this whole other person, with gifts that I was not aware of at all. There was this amazing spiritual and holistic woman masked inside that strong business persona.

My journey with Diane using her essential circles was transformational for me. As I came to discover my true essence, the branding of my work started to emerge, acknowledgement of who I really was and what my real capabilities were, came to life. Mind you, the work continues! If you are curious about whether or not you have discovered your true essence in life, contact Diane. She will open doors in your mind, heart and spirit you never thought possible.”

"As a coach and consultant, I am always helping others toward their preferred future. Diane’s essential circles process and her skills from years of working with consultants has propelled me to a new level of clarity, confidence, and ability to help my clients.  I have worked with Diane as an expert advisor to help me become clear about my gifts, natural talents, and my personal brand as an independent consultant.

Her knowledge and expertise in working for years with consultants and her natural gifts of helping people focus on their positive attributes makes her a very powerful Talent Consultant.

She has helped me to understand just how I can both use and market my talents for the benefit of my clients. Her Essential Circles process has been powerful in helping me connect to the deeper level of my own essence and being able to bring that forth into a clear personal brand. She brings a great positive spirit to her work and I heartily recommend both Diane and her process for those of you wishing to understand how to apply your strengths and your true inner self to your work in the world!"

"I wanted to thank you for the insight that you have provided to us with your essential circles consulting program over the past several months.

As a husband and wife team of chiropractors, we have struggled for many years to find the key to unlock the door of practice growth. For years, periods of growth have been followed by a retreat back to our comfort zone.

Your interviews, your analysis, and your recommendations have allowed us to vault past previous barriers...to heights that we only dreamed of for all those years. We have changed. We have stretched our minds. We have integrated our talents in a way that would have been impossible without your help.

Thank you, again, Diane. You have a gift. I recommend that any business seeking to move to the next level seriously consider the services that you have to offer.”
