A “techie” with an impressive 26-year IT background, Diane Randall’s path to becoming a Certified Wellness Coach began when she experienced a health crisis during the height of her technology consulting career. Realizing that professional success alone would not sustain her, Diane viewed this near disaster as a wake-up call that she needed to be leading a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Diane’s interest in making positive decisions to benefit her own life led to her decision to begin training in coaching, wanting to share her experiences with other women to help them as well. She has completed Coach University’s premier coach training program and earned advanced coaching certifications in Mindful Coaching and Active Living Everyday. Diane also has the distinction of membership with coaching and wellness industry leaders—the International Coach Federation (ICF), International Association of Coaching (IAC), Coachville, Women in Technology International (WITI), American Holistic Association (AHA), and the National Wellness Institute (NWI).

After launching Life Accelerated, Diane continued to work in her technology consulting practice. Then one day she realized that she could combine both of her passions by focusing on working with women in technology. 

Diane’s winning spirit and perseverance are two of the hallmarks of her character, and her clients appreciate that she is easy to relate to, even with her strong leadership capabilities.

“I’m 54 years old,” relates one such client, “very creative and have been … a ‘closet entrepreneur’ for years. I was being tugged out of bed this morning at 3 a.m. with a feeling of ‘inner turmoil and sense of frustration’… seeking validation, inspiration and information. Your 6 key points have in a nutshell pinpointed exactly what self-help reading materials have not been able to translate into simple … words and phrases. You’ve definitely accelerated my life!”

Says another client, a dietician and massage therapist: “Most of the time, I know what I need to do, but it helps when there is a ‘coach’ in your corner to back you up and encourage you to keep going. Diane has been a source of encouragement for me. Not only encouragement, but an inspiration.”

Diane’s strength and abilities have not gone unnoticed by the national press either. Her articles appear frequently in The Post, Onyx Woman, Forum, Consulting Magazine, Connecting Moms and online at American Holistic Association, ofSpirit, Boomers Forever, Women in Technology International Strategist, WomenOf, Holistic Business Journal,Boomers Forever and many others. She has been mentioned in The New York Times, and Life Accelerated was selected by Choice—The Magazine of Professional Coaching as one of their best and unique coaching practices.

Diane’s confidence and abilities to relate to women of all walks of life even got the attention of the producers of The Oprah Winfrey Show during a local cocktail party, and in October of 2003 Diane had a guest appearance on an episode of the show, talking with Ms. Winfrey herself about successful relationships! 

Diane currently resides in Chicago with her family, and when she’s not busy helping other women achieve Wellness in their life, she enjoys yoga, hiking, theatre, arts, quiet reading—and zipping around town in her sports car.
