Your Career Transformation Starts Here.
Whether you’re:
-
Considering a new position that actually lights you up
-
Wanting to negotiate a more aligned role where you are

Dreaming of a complete career pivot
…Diane’s career coaching gives you the tools, support, and self-awareness to take intentional, courageous steps.
Finding My Purpose
Overcome job dissatisfaction and discover a clear path to the career you’ve been searching for.
You’ve worked hard, made wise choices, and built a stable career, but something still feels off. You wake up with a sense of dread, go through the motions, and wonder, “Is this really it?”
That lingering dissatisfaction? It’s not just stress. It’s misalignment.
At Dream Life By Design, Diane Sass helps mid-career women and men untangle the confusion, clarify what they truly want, and take action, realigning with their current role or creating an exit plan for something more fulfilling.
Her career coaching combines intuitive insight with practical strategy, helping you move from stuck to aligned, with confidence.
Clarity Coaching
with Structure and Soul
You don’t have to tolerate the tension between who you are and the work you do. Diane Sass helps clients in Columbia, SC and across the nation discover what’s missing, shift their mindset, and map out a meaningful path forward.
This is more than resume editing or job interview prep (though we do that too). Diane combines 40 years of HR leadership with life coaching tools and a bit of intuitive magic to create a holistic process that brings deep clarity.
You’ll gain insight into your values, define your ideal work life, and either learn to thrive where you are or build a strategy to move on with confidence.

"Something that really stood out to me throughout this process was Diane’s ability to truly listen and ask the right questions that got to the heart of what I was struggling with. Each session felt tailored to me, not just generic advice. Her calm presence, combined with clear actionable guidance, helped me gain clarity and confidence in both my career and personal life. I always left our conversations feeling more focused and empowered.
I felt supported, understood and genuinely encouraged throughout our coaching sessions. Diane created a space where I could openly explore what I really wanted in a job and employer, without pressure or judgement. I was encouraged and comfortable being honest about my challenges, and she met me with empathy and insight every time. Trying to figure out my career path always felt like such a daunting process, instead of feeling overwhelmed, however, I felt focused and confident, knowing I was aligning my choices with what actually mattered to me."
