‘Diane played a critical role as I went through the transition from Director to Executive and from a team of 100 to a team of 800. She has been my trusted advisor, an impartial sounding board, providing broad perspectives and counter points as I worked through challenges. I deeply appreciate her support, coaching and ongoing mentorship as she has been a key contributor to my growth and success as a leader. I have worked with her since 2007 in UK, USA, Canada, Japan and Australia and she has coached a number of my reports to successfully achieve significant changes in their leadership styles and behaviours. Since 2018, Diane has been coaching members of my Executive Leadership Team and leaders in their teams. She is a trusted, strategic partner in our business.'
President and CEO of a USA based supplier to the communications industry.

Quote from a computer company CFO Global Accounts, after the first six months of his line manager's coaching programme:
Diane, what have you done with my manager?
I wouldn't have believed such changes were possible in such a short time. It is evident that this coaching programme has been a good investment from the financial point of view. Please keep doing whatever you are doing!
Diane Vere: International Executive Coach
Track record coaching senior international executives to achieve their career potential
I am a Master Coach with a 20-year track record supporting executives from over 40 countries in major corporate companies, to make transformational changes to the way they behave and operate as leaders. I combine a powerful, stakeholder centred approach, with Master Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) skills and experience so changes are sustained long after the coaching programmes have been completed.
Successful commercial business background
I established Beyond Performance Limited in 2002, after a career in commercial management and consultancy with ICI, AstraZeneca, Deloitte, Sainsbury’s Supermarkets and The Balanced Scorecard Collaborative. I understand the pressures senior executives face in multinational companies, having had similar challenges in my own experience.
Results oriented
I coach leaders to achieve progress against both their personal development and business goals. Results often far exceed beyond performance expectations.
Passion for excellence. Supportive but challenging style
I have strong personal values: trust, integrity and a passion for excellence. I am always striving to develop my coaching capabilities. I have a supportive style and bring warmth and humour to my sessions to make the coaching experience enjoyable, as well as practical and productive. I also deliver tough challenge when required!
London base. Global network
I am based near London. I coach in person in the UK and Europe and all over the world via phone/video. I belong to a variety of global coaching networks and I am constantly developing my expertise by connecting with my international colleagues.
