WHY COACHING?
The benefits to you
There are many options for leadership development including training courses, workshops, and many excellent books. Coaching transcends the didactic elements of these to create an environment where the client is able to really learn and put in practice that learning and, importantly, be challenged and held accountable for forward progress.
In multiple studies the return on investment of coaching has been calculated as several-fold, resulting in empowered, confident leaders who are able to make changes to their approach, achieve unprecedented results and grow their capabilities and accomplishments.
If you or your employees are …
- Recently promoted to management or leadership
- Recently hired into a position of leadership
- Facing a culturally or politically challenging environment
- Trying to do too much and feeling inadequate
- Lacking the confidence to take your rightful “place at the table”
- Afraid to pursue ambitious goals for which you/they are eminently qualified.
… and are willing to learn, work hard and make the changes necessary to achieve success, then coaching may provide the needed impetus and support.

“Working with Diana proved to be a life-changing experience for me. In a world of constant change, she helped me navigate through 4 bosses, 3 department changes, one promotion and multiple other organizational changes within the span of 12 months. Her coaching helped me tackle some of hardest personal obstacles I have struggled with for years, helping me find my voice and demonstrate my value in a large and shifting organization. My professional growth accelerated, and looking back to where I was, I can’t believe how much progress I have made. Diana’s knew instinctively what I needed, and helped me manage difficult professional challenges and relationships. She worked with me to develop a personal brand that I feel good about, that isn’t about self-promotion but about letting people know what motivates me. Working with her has been an inflection point on my professional journey, and I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking to grow in their career!”
“Diana Gáler has a calm way of asking smart questions that dive deep into the heart of the matter, gently but surely getting you to directly examine the truth that you may have been avoiding. She helps bring clarity to complex situations, helping you decide for yourself which is the right path. I love working with her and wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”
“Diana Gáler was the perfect coach for me as I worked through a significant transition in my career. She provided excellent information and insight, and, most importantly of all, she challenged my perspectives and assumptions which provided me with broader views of my own experience and the organization within which I was working. Now that I am in another position, I can anticipate returning for additional coaching in order to help me reach even higher levels of excellence. I highly recommend Diana for executive coaching.”

“Diana really helped my transition to a new organization. The new role was an adjustment for me in many ways – a more senior level of responsibility, and as a remote role within a growing organization. Diana helped me gain confidence and helped me see the potential and expertise I bring to the table, as I transitioned to a new organization. She also helped my harness this experience and expertise to navigate and educate on processes and needs to be able to grow. In short, working with Diana helped me find my feet during an unusual transition and was an invaluable sounding board for me to test my thoughts and actions. I would absolutely do this again with Diana!”

“After spending about a third of my career in biopharma at the Executive level, I was given the
opportunity to have executive coaching from Diana Galer via TLD group. I initially chose Diana for her
background as a senior leader within another major biopharma company and recognized immediately
how relevant her professional background was in informing her coaching.
opportunity to have executive coaching from Diana Galer via TLD group. I initially chose Diana for her
background as a senior leader within another major biopharma company and recognized immediately
how relevant her professional background was in informing her coaching.
She gave me the opportunity to improve my self-awareness with a thorough collection of feedback from
other leaders in my organization. This improved self-awareness led to positive identification of
development opportunities for myself. A stand-out aspect of her coaching is that she gives her clients
the time to rehearse critical communication points and she gives active feedback persistently until the
client is satisfied that he or she has mastered that communication point. By this method, Diana gives
her clients ownership of their challenges and ownership of their solutions.
Diana took me through a full life cycle of a career change within the company from one leadership
position to the next and along every step of the way gave me genuine insights and constructive
feedback. The outcome of this excellent coaching exceeded the expectations of the company’s most
senior managers.”
