Diane O'Connor
Designer, Catalyst, Coach
“My passion is design ---
I love “arranging & integrating pieces!”
I recognize and use God’s elements &
principles of design every day.
I see potential EVERYWHERE and love to draw it out -
in people - and in objects!
I create new works of art - and I rescue interesting objects
so I can breathe new life into them.
I encourage and equip leaders
through coaching, writing, and training.
I help leaders understand the BIG-picture design
for their own lives, as well as for the team they lead . . .
I love to share ideas using
wisdom, inspiration and motivation.
I love to facilitate creative thinking,
brainstorming, planning, developing or organizing,
helping leaders achieve
excellence, unity and focus.”
I am a woman of faith - it's deep in my core. My faith in Jesus Christ affects everything I think, say, and do.
I'm passionate about helping leaders clarify their design and calling, live intentionally, and lead with character, skill and focus. I love coaching individuals and teams visually - I call it my "Brain on the Board Session." I also train coaches and leaders who are interested in using my framework and coaching tools to grow their clients - or their organizations.
I'm a designer at heart, and I absolutely love creating warm, inviting environments where people feel a sense of peace. I coach people looking for help in decorating their home or office space, asking questions, and helping them make wise choices as they discover their own personal style.
I served as the Director of Ministry Development at Christian Life Fellowship for 10 years, and in a variety of leadership roles in the community such as the Leadercast Event Lead, the Mead Charter School Board Chair, and the HoW Leadership Program Advisory Board.
"In another lifetime" I taught art at all levels - Kindergarten through North Central University, Minneapolis. I enjoy using my design skills to help clients, and to create great environments for a wide variety of community events.
