Licensed coach: Joel Dietz

USA and beyond!

I support amazing people looking to discover a new career, or to thrive in the work they already do. We accomplish this together with humor and exploration, through a zoom lens focused on your long term-fulfillment. I have a particular passion for working with late career professionals wanting to bring their work identity into retirement through a career transition. Based in Houston, Texas and working with clients throughout the US, I welcome all clients pondering, “What’s next for me?” including those who identify as LGBTQ+.

Prior to launching my coaching practice, I gained senior-level corporate Learning & Development and Human Resources experience over 25 years, including roles coaching experienced and emerging leaders, and leading the recruiting function. Years ago, colleagues and friends began asking for support from their “HR friend” to plan their career transitions. In the process, I learned that I have a deep passion for helping someone build a road to an exciting new career and/or achieve more fulfillment in their current role. I would welcome the opportunity to support you. My coaching style incorporates exploration, humor, and most importantly, a real drive toward outcomes.

I approach conversations about “career” from a broad perspective, beyond skills and interests. (Hello, Firework Coaching framework!) I have several additional tricks up my sleeve including the Myers-Briggs Master Practitioner Credential, proficiency in interpreting the Strong Interest Inventory, and Hogan Assessments Certification. In preparation to support you, I completed a MS in Human Resource Development from the University of Texas at Tyler and additional graduate studies in Executive & Professional Coaching from the University of Texas at Dallas. I look forward to learning about what you’d like to accomplish.
