Diana Wythe: Life and Business Coach
Founder of VisionQuest Coaching, LLC

Why I Became a Coach

I am passionate about helping people achieve a greater vision of success and fulfillment in their life and work. It brings me joy and satisfaction to empower people to discover their personal brilliance, explore what moves their heart (their passion) and make positive changes toward achieving their dreams.

Personal Path

My path for the last ten years has been one of personal and spiritual evolution which led me to the field of coaching. I also found coaching to be a natural extension of my professional background of being a champion for individuals, managers, teams and executives by helping them bring out their best.

I place a high value on life balance and living life authentically. Four years ago my family and I made the decision to enhance the quality of our lives, in part, by moving from the Silicon Valley of California to the extraordinary beauty of the Grand Valley of Western Colorado. Living closer to nature, we have found balance, renewal, inspiration, and connection to a larger perspective. We enjoy hiking, camping and exploring the majestic red stone canyons bordering our home. My personal passions include reading, natural health and wellness, preserving family history, connecting with friends, exploring new places, and music, especially my new-found love of playing the piano.

Career Path

Prior to becoming a coach, I held fast-paced positions in senior human resources and organizational development working over fifteen years in the high technology computer industry in San Jose, California. I played key role in all stages of company growth and transition from pre-IPO start-ups up to large publicly held Fortune 500 companies. My employers included Cisco Systems, StrataCom, Inc., Megatest/Teradyne, and Businessland, Inc.

I enjoyed partnering with executives, managers and teams in creating strategies to achieve business objectives, expanding leadership and team effectiveness, and facilitating organizational change. Some areas of my expertise include developing and managing highly effective programs in recruitment, employee relations, leadership and development, employee performance, compensation, and change facilitation.
