Empowering whole leaders
for a whole new world

Meet Diane Herz

I am a coach and strategic consultant who helps leaders claim their wholeness — the fullness of their identities and influence— in service of evolving a more sustainable and joyful world.

I made a career in government and private-sector social research, and I always loved strategy and coaching the most. So in 2024, I joyfully transitioned to a coaching and consulting career.

As we move up leadership ladders and draw on old “wiring” to solve problems, we inevitably run into the ways they no longer serve us. I like helping people navigate through these barriers to thrive.

Coaching

Coaching is about working with you to help you identify your goals and dreams and the way to get there. (It’s not about me providing answers.)

My coaching services are grounded in neuroscience and organizational systems thinking.

Our work together will help you:

  • Design what you truly want

  • Identify & eliminate beliefs getting in the way

  • Reprogram to resourceful beliefs

  • Access your power and influence

  • Create a more fulfilling life

Consulting

My consulting services draw on my work experience as a researcher, leader, CEO, and Chief Diversity Officer — and on leadership best practices and my coaching training.

I support leaders and organizations in strategic planning, DE&I, risk management, and leadership development.

New World Dinners

Together with John Matthews, I am creating an offering for in-person engagement by experienced leaders in Melbourne with an interest in consciously evolving together.

This offering is in development—let me know if you may be interested! (diane@dianeherz.com)
