Who is Diane Germanowski?

Diane Germanowski has been at the bottom of the creative well herself. Who better to work with you than a creativity coach who has suffered through transition, and a loss of vitality and meaning?

She has been working creatively with clients, in various forms, for more than 25 years. Diane gives her clients the advantage of her experience of having been there and done that, to cut short the aimless, unproductive search upon which they may embark. She questions and encourages individuals to get straight to the heart of the problem and provides encouragement and accountability on their creative journey.

Diane has studied with renowned creativity author and psychologist Eric Maisel. She is a member of the Creative Coaching Association (CCA), the International Federation of Coaches (ICF), and the International Federation of Coaches in New England (ICFNE).

Diane also has an

• A.S. Interior Design
• BA. Art History
• M.A. History
• PhD. Work in History and Material Culture

WHAT I DO

As a coach I . . .

• Ask pointed and thoughtful questions
• Provide reference points
• Cheer your success
• Nudge procrastination
• Provide Accountability
• And provide you a different frame of reference to see the paths that will lead to a creative, more fulfilled life.

WHAT I DO NOT DO

• I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist or therapist.
• I am not a spiritual advisor.
• I do not do the work, you do.
• I do not have the answers, you do.

I do guide you to find and see your own answers.

Although time varies with each individual, results can occur much quicker than traveling the lone road when revitalizing your creativity. Diane will help you get started immediately with an available program or customized program designed specifically for you and your needs.

 WEAR GOLD FOR THE KIDS!

A friend once told me about his little girl’s constant migraines. I suggested an MRI. He said, “Nah. What are the odds?”

All I  could do is look at my daughter.

For newly diagnosed children and their families in the Inland Northwest, Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital answers their medical questions. Candlelighters’ unique mission is to help each family cope with life during childhood cancer treatments and rebuild their lives after cancer from the experienced perspective of those who have been there before. We find this mission compelling. In remission, many survivors and families still seek and need continued emotional support with on-going challenges. Candlelighters works to help every family regain its sense of normalcy.
