Executive coaching

A private practice for people who carry the room.

What got you here may not be what takes you further.

Dionne coaches leaders at every level who are ready to examine the patterns that have fueled their success but may now be limiting their growth. From perfectionism, relentless self-criticism, and fear of failure to unresolved resentment, broken trust, and relationship breakdowns at work, what we carry, both personally and professionally, shapes how we lead.

Through practical, actionable tools, Dionne helps leaders navigate forgiveness of themselves and others, release what no longer serves them, and cultivate greater confidence, clarity, and freedom in how they lead.

Who this is for

Three kinds of leader. One honest conversation.

01

The leader & founder

Leadership & growth

From emerging leaders to seasoned executives and the C-suite, Dionne coaches individuals who want to strengthen their leadership presence, emotional intelligence, confidence, and effectiveness as they grow.

02

The high-performing woman

Confidence & self-worth

For accomplished, ambitious women ready to move beyond perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and relentless self-criticism so they can own their value, increase their visibility, and pursue opportunities with greater confidence.

03

The leader in transition

Change & reinvention

For individuals navigating a promotion, expanded responsibilities, career pivot, or personal reinvention who want to move into their next chapter with clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

It starts with a conversation

Simple, and held in confidence.

Every coaching relationship begins with a discovery call. It’s an opportunity for us to connect, explore your goals, and determine whether we’re the right fit to work together.

Coaching is never announced, never used as a case study, and never shared with the organization beyond what the client chooses.

01

Connect

Complete a brief intake form to share a little about yourself, your goals, and what brings you to coaching.

02

Explore

Meet with Dionne for a discovery call to discuss your goals, ask questions, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.

03

If there’s mutual alignment, discuss the coaching options and next steps that best support your needs.

“Working with Dionne Nicholls-Germain was a transformative experience. From the moment we began, it was clear that she brings something truly special to her practice. Dionne approaches her work with an open heart, creating a space where I always felt at peace and empowered. Her genuine care and intentional guidance were instrumental in my growth, not only as an executive but also as a woman.”

“I received professional coaching from Dionne through the Abroad program at my company, and feel so fortunate to have been teamed up with her. She has deep and versatile knowledge in the rocky landscape of team leadership, and coaches with empathy. She helped me find strategy in difficult situations and taught me how to convert each of my obstacles into short, clear, and focused action plans. I would enthusiastically recommend her to anyone who needs career coaching, or even just honing of skills.”

“Dionne as an Executive Coach is like a true friend...cheering you for your wins but sharing hard truth when you need it. Dionne's approach coached me out of “me” by highlighting where I was being too hard or unrealistic with myself aka “superwoman”, which was not beneficial for my career goals or my family. Her offer of support and identification of growth was so helpful on my journey...especially always bringing me back to my “why”. She helps you take a step back to assess so you can move forward.”

“Dionne coached me as a part of the Abroad Leadership program. She helped me discover the power of acceptance and dedication of energy towards things I can control. Forgiving myself, leaning into my strengths, and understanding my work-ons (while not hammering myself about it) lead to an ongoing journey of self-discovery and growth.”

“During our sessions, I had a pivotal breakthrough that was essential to overcome my stagnation. It was self-forgiveness. I had to forgive myself and let go of the past in order to acknowledge my worthiness.”
