Today we’d like to introduce you to Diane Martinez
Hi Diane, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I began working in the coaching field in 2012 when I earned my certification as a health coach. Working in corporate health over several years taught me that all coaching is life coaching. I felt myself drawn to a more holistic approach to helping people and began researching life coaching certification programs that resonated with me. After months of looking, I found Alan Cohen’s Holistic Life Coach Training program, and signed up that day. The six months of formal training enhanced the skills I had been developing and brought that larger perspective to the work I do.
The primary philosophy behind the coaching I do today is that we each are a spark of the Divine, whole and worthy as we are, and that the answers we seek are actually within us. My job as a life coach is not to tell my clients what to do, but rather to help them access their own answers and sort out their best next steps to create the lives they desire.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
In my life experience, no worthwhile thing comes easily or without challenges, and my journey as a life coach and entrepreneur is no exception! Yet when we can accept and maybe even embrace the struggles as part of the journey, they don’t feel so overwhelming.
For me the struggles come on the business side of things – choosing a marketing strategy, leveraging social media, etc., and I have learned to get the help I need with the aspects that are not my forte, and work with my team to build a vibrant and successful business. The struggles and lessons are as much a part of the journey as the amazing connections and successes!
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I am the creator and owner of Conscious Creating Life Coaching, and my work and passion is empowering people. Unlike some coaches that are very goal-oriented, my coaching focuses on helping my clients with their inner work; to love and accept themselves as they are and see themselves as worthy of the lives they desire. New and amazing possibilities open up for you when you are at peace with yourself. It is the best work ever to observe my clients releasing old doubts and limiting beliefs, and stepping into a deeply meaningful and fulfilling life!
There are several ways clients can connect with me: I offer a three month one-on-one coaching program, a vibrant Patreon group with 3 tiers of membership to choose from, and more recently I have been speaking to corporate groups, both online and in-person on a variety of topics, including Stress Managment, Avoiding Burnout, and I’ve even led Vision Board classes for companies! It is all very gratifying work and I am grateful for each interaction.
Before we let you go, we’ve got to ask if you have any advice for those who are just starting out?
My advice for anyone just starting out is to get help with the aspects of business that you are not familiar with. No one person is adept at all the skills necessary to be successful (nor do they have the time to do them all). Do what you do best, and hire others to help with the parts of your work that you need help with. And perhaps most of all, believe in yourself!
