Does this sound familiar?
You’re working harder than ever but can’t seem to move the needle.
- You’ve doubled down on what used to work but aren’t getting where you need to go.
- You want to make a real impact but are too busy fighting fires to get to the forward thinking, strategic work.
- You (and your people) are committed to delivering bottom line results, but are nearing exhaustion and potential burnout.
You want to be a visionary, inspiring leader, but feel trapped or bogged down…
…by organizational constraints,
…by negativity and/or short-sightedness of others,
…or by feelings of overwhelm at the magnitude of what’s before you and the pressure you are under.
Yesterday’s solutions don’t solve today’s problems.
- Relying on the solutions of “experts” isn’t helping (or making things worse).
- Getting people to act on your recommendations is increasingly difficult.
- Turbulence and uncertainty leads people around you to think and act from fear and create more problems.
You want to rise above the constraints that have been holding you down and achieve new levels of performance, impact, freedom and fulfillment in your work and your life.
But how can you break out of the vicious cycle that keeps you stuck? And where do you even start?
Here’s what I learned from working with thousands of executives faced with these same issues
(and working through them myself as well)...
When the stuff hits the fan, we often rely on what’s worked in the past only to find that it’s no longer effective (or even begins to work against us).
In fact, many of the things we do as individuals and organizations have reached a point of diminishing returns or no longer fit with the challenges and opportunities before us.
The time has come to find and institute a better way of working, living, and leading.
Rising above conditioning that would otherwise keep you stuck requires deliberate intention and conscious awareness. It is a process of both unlearning and relearning. I’ve been helping leaders do that for themselves and their organizations over the last thirty plus years…
I highly recommend Diane to any C-suiter that wants to take their career to the next level, without losing their soul.
It can be done and Diane is enthusiastically the coach that can make it happen."

One of the biggest challenges executives repeatedly face is that they often unwittingly get in their own way – and can end up perpetuating the very problems they are trying to solve.
In all likelihood, the majority of your most formidable obstacles are between your ears – in the way you think about things, the assumptions you make about yourself, others, or the situation.
But if you are not aware of it, you’ll attribute the difficulty to your circumstances, people around you, or chalk it up to bad luck. You’ll continue to look out there for a solution instead of tuning in to your own ability to rise above the dynamics that keep you (and your organization) stuck.
And it’s not your fault. You’re under a tremendous amount of pressure to perform and get results. You likely sacrifice your personal time, your sanity and even your very health to do that.
You may be convinced that the harder you work, the more you’ll achieve. And that if you slow down, even for a minute, things will come crashing down.
I know, because so many of my clients believed that too... until they realized there was another way to get stellar results without killing themselves and their people in the process.
I was so stuck thinking things needed to continue the way I had always done them that I couldn’t let in alternative solutions.
The Pinocchio Principle Unleashed program was life-altering for me – there wasn’t one area of my life that wasn’t impacted.

The Real Leader Academy addresses the three most vital challenges and opportunities leaders and organizations face:
-
Overcoming conditioning that keeps you from leading authentically, effectively, and in a way that aligns your thoughts, intentions and actions to achieve lasting results for yourself and others.

Creating strong connections with others that allow them to feel heard, understood, and valued and partnering with them in a way that allows you to do more together than you could independently.
-
Learning to navigate challenge and uncertainty in a way that keeps you grounded, connected to your source of inner wisdom and able to respond to a changing landscape with agility, courage, and ingenuity.

INCREASED PERFORMANCE
Real Leader Academy members learn to recognize and free themselves from self-imposed obstacles that keep them from achieving desired results. They unearth performance in themselves and others they didn’t realize they were capable of.
STRONGER RELATIONSHIPS WITH SUBORDINATES, PEERS, SUPERIORS, CUSTOMERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
As leaders working through the Academy begin to shift their focus from what they need to get to how they can give, they engender trust, listen more and talk less, and allow others to feel heard and valued. As a result, they create solid, enduring partnerships and exercise greater influence.
HIGHER ENGAGEMENT, RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Real Leader Academy members ignite enthusiasm, passion and inspired performance in themselves and others fueled by a greater why. The organization and its leaders magnetize key talent and create a buzz in the field.
CREATIVE INNOVATION AND PROBLEM SOLVING
Members recognize the power of reframing their thoughts in a way that yields solutions they wouldn’t have previously recognized. As their focus shifts from limitation to possibility they help others practice greater resourcefulness, agility and perseverance as well.
BETTER NAVIGATION THROUGH CHANGE, UNCERTAINTY AND COMPLEXITY
Real Leader Academy members harmonize their rational and intuitive minds to blaze trails through unchartered territory. They learn to recognize gut level instincts and complement them with data, enabling them to take action that keeps the business ahead of the curve.
GREATER RESILIENCE IN OVERCOMING OBSTACLES AND BOUNCING BACK FROM SETBACKS
Leaders learn to leverage their strengths and experiences to make better decisions, fine tune their approaches and transform fear and resistance to fuel. Serving as a powerful example, they help others stay out of victimization and move forward with greater confidence and consistency.
INCREASED STRATEGIC FOCUS
Academy members learn strategies for getting out of overwhelm and minutia and proactively addressing emerging challenges and opportunities. They get comfortable with being uncomfortable and exercise the courage necessary to play bigger and make a greater impact in their organizations and communities.
“The things Diane has taught us through her coaching and programs have taken on a life of their own in our organization and given rise to some business practices that are helping us to get to the next level of organizational success.
It’s been extremely helpful, and the ROI is something I can’t even measure – it’s just exponential.
