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? Was I underestimated and doubted by others along the way? Yes. Did the Police appreciate my empathy? Not really. In fact one of my colleagues ‘accused’ me (pardon the pun) of caring too much. However I have learnt that happiness is about living a life aligned to your values and self-imposed obstacles with a little work 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.
