Changing Lives
and Shaping Futures
Utilizing the Rules and principles of pragmatic metaphysics, I addressed the problem by developing an effective model with techniques for lasting change. I've invented countless coaching tools to put you in direct contact with your essential self and help you harness your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical power. This includes permanently overcoming issues with fear, pain, anxiety, shame and heartache so you can recraft your existence.
Now, I help others like you as a transformational coach to help them rediscover their personal power - so they can joyfully live as their optimal authentic self.
Let me help you make bold moves and start a new chapter
Before I became a guide and strategist, I followed the prescribed path for success. I had an education from Northwestern, a graduate degree in marketing, a consulting business, three kids, and a house across from Lake Michigan – I was blessed with plenty of opportunities. But something was missing. It just wasn’t me. My soul was not at rest.
Over the course of 15 years, I have been knocked down more times than I can count. Still, by utilizing modern metaphysics and manifestation techniques along with hard work and determination, I became a SAG-AFTRA actor with numerous film, television and commercial credits, lost 60 pounds, rid herself of depression, conquered countless debilitating health problems, navigated a healthy divorce, survived the perils of an addictive relationship, wrote a book, "The Real Brass Ring," and toured the country sharing the Rules for Happy Living.

READ MY STORY
I am on a mission to help you live your Highest and Greatest life
Through my transformational work, I help spiritually gifted game-changers align their personalities with their Higher Calling, uplift projects and businesses and answer their most powerful destiny. I'm not typical in any way, and I blend the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your reality to help you achieve what you came here to do.
Those who choose me as their guide are often innovators and visionaries meant to shake things up. Typically, what they do or the way they do it is revolutionary. Before I became a guide and strategist, I excelled at the prescribed path for success. I had graduate degree from Northwestern University, a successful marketing business, a marriage and three children and was was blessed with plenty of opportunities. I chose a radical road because something was missing.
It wasn't just me. Surrounding me were countless educated and talented people who were "doing things right" but never touching their true soul path.
To address this problem, I created "Transition to Transformation," a movement that trained many leaders who continue to set a remarkable example. Since then, I've invented countless tools to put you in direct contact with your essential self and help you harness your Power.

BIOGRAPHY
Dianne graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University with a Master of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications and has a BA in Psychology from Marquette University. In 1995, she launched Core Marketing Solutions, a branding consultancy located in Chicago and managed a portfolio of Fortune 500 clients, including companies like GE Financial Assurance, Underwriter's Laboratories, Rockwell International, Trustmark Insurance and DuPont. Over the years, Core Marketing Solutions has received several Platinum and Gold MarCom Awards in honor of corporate branding excellence. She had been following the rules dictated by society, but despite tremendous business success, Dianne's soul grew restless. At forty, she embarked on a journey to find her heart and reignite a childhood passion for the dramatic arts. In 2003, she kicked off an acting career on the community theatre stage as Sister Sophia in The Sound of Music and over the course of eight years, became a SAG-AFTRA union actor with numerous film, television, commercial and industrial credits. At age 45, Dianne started writing the Amazon best-seller, The Real Brass Ring: Change Your Life Course Now. This memoir chronicles her private revolution, illustrating the details, anecdotes and metaphysical tactics used to unravel her seemingly traditional, yet unhappy life. The Real Brass Ring was published in 2013 by Red Wheel/Weiser and awarded an international 2014 Bronze Living Now Book Award in honor of the year's best books for better living. The book was also honored with a 2015 Gold Bella Online E-Book Award for outstanding literary achievement and chosen by Aspire Magazine as a Top 10 Inspirational Book. Dianne has toured the country offering keynote presentations and workshops for groups of all sizes around the country.
