Dianne McKim

President, Principal, Founder

A Certified Career, Leadership, and Life Coach, Workshop Facilitator, Author, Speaker and Guest Interviewee, Dianne McKim has the professional training, personal experiences and knowledge to help clients successfully grow and thrive.

Dianne enjoyed a long and impactful career in Corporate America successfully leading teams, influencing peers, mentoring team members, and interacting at all corporate levels (including C Levels). During that time she developed strong relationships with executives, management, peers, and team members allowing her to successfully spearhead major projects while negotiating, and navigating bureaucracy.

This wasn't always the way, however. Dianne is an abusive relationship survivor, navigated through a long and difficult divorce which resulted in her running a household, working full time the whole time, and raising children as a single mom for 14 years. She dealt with family issues, job losses and job searches, loss of relationships, a lack of confidence and very low self-esteem.

Over time, Dianne rebuilt her life, rediscovering herself and strengthening her confidence. As she did, she learned how to stand strong in her abilities, understand her value and embrace her identity. As her confidence grew, she discovered how to have professional success, personal contentment, and spiritual fulfillment.

Dianne has taken all that she learned along with her unparalleled ability and deep care and compassion for others and began Precious Stones Coaching. Her coaching style is inviting, understanding, and encouraging with just the right amount of leadership, guidance, and accountability to help her clients focus on their priorities and accomplish their goals. Dianne wholeheartedly commits to helping her clients achieve and fulfill their calling, purpose, and destiny.
