About me
Hello or こんにちは, I'm Dianne Heslop.
I struggled writing this page because I prefer to stay under the radar; it’s safe there and I’d rather champion others. But you won’t hire me if you don’t know me and you have every right to know why I can confidently say "I get it."
Self discovery can be tough but I can do difficult. As a kid I navigated the world around my mum who struggled with mental health. I have been a single mum with no support, financial or otherwise, living and working fulltime in a foreign country, Japan. I have raised a blended family. In my working career I have helped build a business that went from zero customers to a business that is thriving today and at 50 I became a Police Officer. None of these things have been easy.
How did I do any of this? By always focusing on goals and pushing forward step by step to achieve them. Did I suffer from self-doubt at times? Of course. Was I underestimated and doubted by others along the way? Yes. However, I learnt that happiness is about living a life aligned to your values and with a little work, self-imposed obstacles can be overcome.
My passion is helping people overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.
The consistent thread throughout my life is the desire to help people. I have taught, been a teacher aide, done customer service roles and then the Police. Now I have found my calling in life coaching. In fact I feel I have been doing it my whole life by motivating people and watching them succeed. I love listening to people, finding out what’s really going on for them. Through my life experience and acquired life coaching skills, I work with people, helping them realign back to their values and ultimately watch them walk away a lighter, happier version of themselves.
