“Parent as Coach® is a must-read handbook for parents of teens and pre-teens. This approach is practical, useful, direct and powerful. I use the Parent as Coach® approach in my own family. This works!”

Dear Diana, Bravo! Your book is beautiful and your clear mind and pure heart glow through all the pages.
| James Flaherty, Author of Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others |
"The Ryan Story" lives on. No one is happier about that than I am. I strongly believe that I would have lost my son without Diana's approach. If millions of other families are transformed HALF as much as Ryan and I have been over the past six years, the world will be changed beyond comprehension and recognition. I feel honored to be a part of Diana's dream and journey.

We are a better family for having a coach who is training in the Parent as Coach® Approach. It is the best investment you could do for the ones you love most.

Joanne, who was formerly as special ed student now no longer needs assistance. I am one happy mom who can’t say enough about Parent as Coach®.
| Lisa Carey, Reston, VA USA |
Diana, I was able to talk to my son Stephen and introduced him to the concept of putting himself in other peoples shoes (he had never been able to do that before.) Thank you for being you and allowing me to be me, even when I did not know who I was.”
| Carol Shepley, England, UK |
I will take on the Parent as Coach® Approach as part of my being, as I believe that the whole philosophy of The Seven Ways is not exclusive to Parents, but is how we should treat all others.
| Claire Golding, Australia |
This model is unique, invaluable, and also “touchable.” Anyone could run with it. IT WORKS!
I just wanted to thank you for generously sharing your stories and wisdom on raising teens with a coaching perspective. I am a step-mother of two
teens, and I look forward to being more of a cheerleader and less of a "nudge" as they navigate through these important years. My step teens thank you, too!

What a great class! Made me really think about some things I'm doing with my 12 year-old daughter, which I can change as she becomes even more of a teenager. Thanks for your time, talent and wisdom.

“Meeting you and learning Parent as Coach® has already changed my life.
| Kristina Dabrowski Haugsand, Sweden |
Thanks so much for offering the Parent as Coach approach; there are a number of ideas for me to consider as practices. Our situation is a complex one, and since I am the step-mom, I don't have the "authority" to make a lot of decisions, although I can change my own reactions to Krista. You are doing such important work!!

Your Parent as Coach® Presentation was terrific! Our customers really enjoyed the valuable information you brought to them.

I took away value that I could use immediately with both my 13 and 9 year old. I had a big Aha! in the discussion and my perspective shifted. I am a marketing professional who has been working with the parents of pre-teens and teens for the last two years. I think your work is breakthrough and I applaud you. I look forward to sharing you and your message with both the parenting and coaching community that I am a part of.
We also had a conversation last night about how she hates when she I'm on the phone and she comes in the room and mouths silently to me and I share it very cavalierly with whoever I'm talking to. It was such a very basic issue of respect and I got it. And she got that I got it! Was very good moment.

As a mother of two, I have experienced the benefits of Diana Sterling’s wisdom when it comes from interaction with children and approaching them with deep listening, respect, love and clear requests. The Parent as Coach® Approach is personal, practical and offers sage advice for building a strong foundation with your beloved children, as well as all others near and dear to your hear.

Thank you for your perspective and tools of Parent as Coach®. I think the thing that has helped the most is the change in perspective I've had.

“Yes, I would pay any amount of money to learn about how I can Live for Success. This work is eye-opening, motivational and real. Thank you!”
| Dorotha Stokes, Oklahoma City USA |
Mom listens better than she did before the coaching. She is also getting better at supporting me. I also think Mom has helped me become more independent. Overall I think Mom has improved over the last four months and that she should continue to work on this.
