Joel Dietz

I support amazing people looking to build fantastic, cohesive teams that achieve results. We accomplish this together with humor and exploration, through a Zoom lens focused on leveraging your strengths and building your self-awareness around assumptions, blind spots, and negative self-talk. I’ve been developing leaders in corporate settings for over two decades—from first-time managers to EVP-level executives.

Additionally, I have a particular passion for supporting professionals who are ready for a major career change but are unclear about their new direction. Based in Houston, Texas, and working with clients throughout the U.S., I welcome all clients pondering, “What’s next for me?”

I welcome the opportunity to partner with you toward your goals. My coaching style incorporates exploration, humor, and—most importantly—a real drive toward outcomes. I bring additional tools to our work as a certified practitioner of several powerful assessments, including the Strong Interest Inventory, Hogan Assessments, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®), for which I hold the MBTI® Master Practitioner Credential.

While most of my leadership coaching clients are sponsored by their employers, I also work with individuals investing in their own development in areas such as influencing others, managing upward, providing constructive feedback, having difficult conversations, building executive presence, and effective communication. If you’re simply looking to get even better at the job you already have, coaching in these areas is one of my superpowers!

In preparation to support you, I completed an M.S. 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 support clients from all backgrounds, including those who identify as LBGTQIA+.
