The Optimal You – Dianne Quinton, certified professional coach and facilitator

Building healthy workplaces with emotionally intelligent, coach-like leaders

In a world of increasing complexity, individuals and organizations are looking for ways to be supported during times of challenge and change. The Optimal You provides coaching, facilitation and other services that incorporate a variety of tools to bring insight and clarity to situations, ultimately enabling people to make conscious choices from a place of informed awareness.

Raising our individual and collective consciousness is critical for success. Especially when it comes to culture and how we interact. So much of what we do, personally and professionally, is relationship oriented. We may mean well in our interactions, but our intention and impact don’t always line up. Understanding ourselves – our strengths, areas for development, passions, triggers, hopes, fears, values, beliefs – is essential to being able to effectively understand, work with and lead others.

When we focus on developing authentic, healthy relationships, results naturally follow. The Optimal You is passionate about providing leaders the support they need to be emotionally intelligent, self aware and courageous – foundational elements for personal and organizational success. If you’re ready for the challenge, please contact me to find out how we can work together to achieve the results you’re looking for.
