Client Testimonials
Hiring a business coach when you are an entrepreneur with ADHD traits can feel daunting.
One way to make the decision feel less risky is…
to review their client testimonials
Here is what a handful of my clients have to say about working with me.
You can also check out my Client Success Story episodes on the ADHD-ish ™ podcast.
"I went through several consultations with other "coaches" that promised big. They were all fast talkers and seemed to be preying on people who needed help with their ADHD. It wasn't until I met with Diann and listened to her podcast that I felt like I found my coach. It felt right, and I knew she had the experience to back up what she was talking about. My life is on a positive trajectory because of my investment with Diann."
Adam Trujillo
"She's a rockstar. Total authority on the topic, deeply experienced, and she speaks plainly and directly. No bs. She really understands the humanity in this, every battle someone with ADHD faces. And she brings a presence of confidence and support that's just inherent to the relationship, beyond the sessions themselves."
Daniel N.
"Diann is awesome! She takes time to understand you and your business, and how your brain works, and she'll challenge your way of thinking. Sometimes it can feel uncomfortable and maybe even make you a bit defensive (your business is your baby after all) but she does it all with class and a sense of humour. And having a fresh perspective is one of the best things about it."
Kathryn Bird
"I feel much more confident in my skills and expertise in a way that lets me just lead with the value I bring, rather than me trying to performatively display what I can offer. It felt good to feel both affirmed and "pushed" (gently). And it felt good to have my "intensity" be "held", reflected, and constructively challenged."

“Diann brings a rare combination of insight, practical strategy, and genuine understanding to her work. She's found a way to capture the intersection of ADHD, entrepreneurship, and the emotional side of building something meaningful, which makes her coaching feel deeply informed and highly relevant. It was great to feel understood and challenged in productive ways. Diann helped me build more structure around my day and move forward professionally with greater clarity and confidence.”
Rob Walsh
"I was recently diagnosed and was looking for a woman who knows all the ins-and-outs of ADHD, so I didn't have to learn it all the hard way. Diann has a wealth of knowledge and interesting first-hand stories! She helped me short-cut my deep dive into ADHD, so I could focus on how it affect me in both my day job and my business."
Beth Meyers
“Diann is your neurodivergent ally who will partner with you on your unfolding journey, understanding that there is no straight line when it comes to ADHD, and that sometimes those impulsive moments need reigning in, and sometimes they are the path that should be explored next. This was a time of exploration and we landed in the perfect end point.”
Angela Greenwell
“I have worked with other business coaches, but what made you a more effective partner for me was your insights on how ADHD was impacting “the business in ways I couldn't see.”

“I realized that I didn't want to run another group program which was why I sought you out. After working together, I now have way more awareness around reducing friction and whats best for me and the business. You helped me with my website re-vamp, which I didn't realize I needed (and that support was integral to helping me understand my business more clearly and improve it).”
Anna Mathisen
“Working with people who have ADHD is a calling, and Diann's a no-bullshit person with a focus on results. I learned so many things that I never knew about myself. I didn't realize how much of my personality was related to my ADHD. The relatability of my personality made my behaviors and the challenges that I deal with seem solvable, or at least, capable of being alleviated. The biggest change is that I found a permission structure in which to deposit many of the behaviors that I manifest on a regular basis and work on them from a place of compassion. I also think Diann did a great job of being flexible and not pushing me to do everything that I could have done. She met me where I was, and that's what I needed and what I was prepared to do.”
Demetri Kofinas
“Diann can help you see your blind spots clearly, directly, and non-judgmentally. She will help you see where you're getting in your own way and walk alongside you as you chart a different course. She will help you find in yourself a kind of motivating kindness and grace, rooted in self-awareness. She will help you normalize and acknowledge your ADHD in a way that feels empowering, rather than limiting.”
Jennifer Pasquale
“Diann has been a fantastic, astute coach who really gets me. She doesn't just understand how I work from an ADHD or entrepreneurial perspective, but also as an individual, as she listens thoroughly and responds from that depth. Her coaching program is not prescribed, but changes in the moment according to what is needed by the client. She has confident energy that inspires confidence in me.”

“You understand the ADHD experience so well, and you are a 'no bullshit,' intuitive coach who was always in my corner.”
Billy Hatton
“I struggled with limiting beliefs about my abilities and carried a lot of internalized shame around being late-diagnosed with ADHD. Diann is a gifted coach who truly understands ADHD in a way that empowers you and helps you see yourself with greater clarity and compassion.”
Joy Long
“Coaching with Diann is a game-changer. I admire her no-BS approach because I didn't just need my ego pumped up, I needed to create results. I have more confidence and optimism than ever before. It was so worth it.”
Michelle Nichols
“I chose to work with you because you understood how my mind worked. On your podcast, you embodied everything I wanted for myself and my business—confidence, clarity, direction, and a bit of spice. I knew you’d give me honest, constructive feedback that would push me forward without stifling my creativity. Plus, I trusted that you wouldn’t let me get away with the self-sabotage I had been pulling on myself.
I would tell someone that your work is both impactful and transformative. You strike a perfect balance between being supportive and productive, helping clients make real progress while feeling genuinely cared for. Your style is direct yet warm, creating a unique mix of firm guidance and encouragement that keeps things moving forward without losing that personal connection.”

“I have already told friends and colleagues about you, mentioning how good you are at a) understanding how uniquely our brains are wired, and b) tailoring your message so that it can be received by our unique brains.
Plus, you're just plain Good People. And Good People who are out there helping other Good People deserve to be celebrated and invested in, so keep doing what you do, and I'll keep pointing people toward you.”
David Lerner
“I heard you on a podcast for neurodivergent women and I was immediately like...THAT's the energy I want to have. The way you spoke about neurodivergence, ADHD, and embracing the way you are was so powerful, and authentic. I wanted to be able to come at my work and ideas from that same angle.”
Annie Condon
“Diann listened to my needs and wants and was able to help us stay focused and pivot as needed—perfect for my ADHD brain. The coaching sessions themselves were very helpful in finding clarity, and the handouts she provided as needed were a very pleasant surprise—something I can fall back on later, too.
I had tried another photography business coach before, but it was mainly about following her plan and her system. As an ADHDer, that was not working for me. I need that breathing room and space to come up with my own solutions, with a gentle nudge. You have ADHD, too, gave me tips from your own experience, and celebrated my wins with me. Worth every penny!”
Claudia Johnstone
“Working with Diann was the only option I found that linked ADHD to entrepreneurship, and it felt like something I hadn't had the option of trying before. Diann offers kind and genuine support, and her program is a game changer. The knowledge gained is life-changing and is information I really could not have got elsewhere. Strongly recommend.
I have learned so much about my ADHD and the role it plays in my tendency toward procrastination, boredom with routine tasks, excitement with new ventures and not completing certain tasks. Working with you has consolidated my understanding of my ADHD, and how to work toward the lifestyle I want that will stimulate me and also benefit the business.”

“What was one of my biggest takeaways from working with you? That I have ADHD AND I am gifted, so I need to build a business around me, not the other way around.
You were instrumental in helping me see the pivots I've taken as strengths, rather than weaknesses. Working with someone who is experienced in helping the business owner, not just the business was everything. Thank you so much for supporting me in a period of transition and uncertainty.”
Angie Trueblood
"Diann is a fantastic coach. I had the pleasure of working with her in 2023. She helped me discover the blind spots in my business that were constantly getting in my way of achieving success.; With Diann's guidance, I could identify my limiting beliefs and reoccurring patterns. She helped me devise a plan to create a successful business with my skills and knowledge. Diann used her own experience to build rapport and give real-life examples through stories that helped me connect the dots-my time with Diann created invaluable lessons to move forward and get out of the feeling stuck."
Aaron Duke
“I felt Diann's sessions extremely valuable in staying focused and holding myself accountable to move forward and make shit happen. I had spent so much $$$ on DIY programs that sat unopened or unfinished. There is no substitution for someone who is focused completely on you and your potential.
If you need a straight shooter to help you clarify your purpose and you aren't afraid to hear where you are standing in your way, Diann is your girl.”

"I now have a clear understanding of my entire client process, from initial inquiry to project completion and follow-up. This includes how to attract and screen my ideal clients, set clearer expectations, and gather meaningful feedback and testimonials. Addressing these issues head-on has likely prevented years of undervaluing my services and experiencing professional burnout."
I made several years' worth of progress in the course of a couple of months in terms of getting clearer on my offer, the path I want to take, and understanding my ideal client better. I have much less doubt and anxiety about the business and its future, which has recharged and fueled me.
Diann's a powerhouse, a leader, and not for the faint of heart. She demands you do the work, and she's alongside you doing it with you. She understands people, especially women creatives with ADHD, and certainly many others. She asked the right questions and made the right observations. I've never had to spend a lot of time explaining myself to Diann - she just knows, she gets it. I knew she had my back, and still does.

“You understood me more than any other coach or mentor that I have had before, which saved so much time and understanding as you didn't try to push strategies that I already knew weren't how my brain worked. You weren't trying to get me to do things the way they 'should' be done, and no one else understood that.
My biggest takeaway from our time together was clarity on how I think, process, and react far differently than the people around me. Understanding my tendencies cleared up my confusion about so much con ict I've had in the past. I've always thought of myself as different, but not in a good way. You validated that yes, I am different, and helped me see it in a different light that is empowering.”
Robyn Rosenberger
"If you're tired of circling the drain of your brain, can't see the next steps clearly, and want to take ACTION (not just get talked at and never get anywhere), work with Diann Wingert!
I thought of Diann as my "thought partner" - and she allowed me to strategically redesign my business WHILE RESPECTING my personal needs, style, approach, energy, and personality. Not every business coach will do this.
Diann's approach to "right-sizing" your business was very appealing to me. I hired her because I know she's a straight-shooter, very direct in her support, and could help me achieve clarity to move forward.
From day one, I knew I'd made the RIGHT decision. Diann's mentorship was extremely strong and exactly what I needed. Our calls helped me sort out my thoughts, say "Yes" to this, "No" to that, and feel confident about what I wanted."

“Diann's tools for allowing me to process out-loud between meetings helped enormously. Have a thought, an idea? Boom, I can talk it out and have Diann's input in no time! I also process through writing and research. Her assignments, worksheets, and resources made all the difference in helping me understand my own strengths and where I wanted to take my business. On top of that, I loved when Diann challenged me. It wasn't"squishy" with Diann. It was straight-forward, which is EXACTLY what I needed.”
