Lead on Your Terms — with Clarity, Courage + Confidence

Welcome to Courage Corps

In a time of uncertainty, real leadership starts within. I coach women shaping change—in their lives, their teams, and the world. Together, we’ll get clear on what matters, build your steadiness under pressure, and unlock your capacity to meet challenge with clarity, courage, and creativity—so you can not only respond to disruption, but create what doesn’t yet exist: stronger teams, braver cultures, and a more sustainable, just, and human future. This is leadership that transforms, not just performs.

Diane Tompkins

The world is asking for a new kind of leadership—one that doesn’t rely on control or certainty, but on courage, connection, and the capacity to co-create what’s never been before.

The women I coach feel this in their bones. They know the old models won’t carry us forward—and they’re ready to lead from a place that’s deeper, truer, and fully their own.

I work with women because they are the authors of new beginnings. Real change starts from within—and it starts with us.

My coaching is clear-eyed and wholehearted. I bring frameworks that deepen insight and inspire action—including the Leadership Circle Profile, Somatics, Nonviolent Communication, Mindfulness, and Neuroscience—so you can build trust, move through complexity, and lead in ways that nourish what you’re here to grow.

I’ll stand with you as you claim your voice, lead from your values, and bring bold visions to life.

Testimonials

“Change is hard. Change agents need partners willing to engage fully in what they are trying to achieve. They need partners who will help make their vision a reality by focusing their hearts and minds and courage on the goals at hand. They need partners who can help them bridge the gaps between where they are and where they need to be. In my work at Breast Cancer Action, whenever I needed such a partner, I found her in Diane Tompkins.”

Barbara Brenner Activist, Author, former ED of Breast Cancer Action

“Working with Di has helped me feel more confident in embracing who I am and leading with the most authentic version of myself. She coaches me to hear my deepest voice and to trust in that, an invaluable skill in a world that constantly tells me otherwise. I’m deeply grateful for the doors she has opened within, the ones that have led me closer to being the best leader I can be.”

Seema Thakker Author and Director of Brand and Strategy, Tandem

“When something exciting happens, Diane is who I want to call. When I’m confused or discouraged, my fingers type out her name in a new email. Because no matter how I’m doing or what I feel, I know that Diane will embrace my moments with authentic enthusiasm and empathy. She appreciates the truth of the human experience - that we hold power and fragility in equal measure. And just when you think there are no more questions to ask yourself and you feel utterly stumped, Diane asks the most beautiful, seemingly-simple, completely breathtaking question. And BAM! You’re free.”

Catherine Schreiber Consultant

“Diane sets herself apart from all others in two critical ways: First, she has an ability to connect with people at a very personal level: to get them to open up and explore their opinions and feelings in new ways. She quickly creates comfort and trust, and then almost effortlessly leads individuals and groups into and through challenging territory. Second, she has an exceptional ability to find the right words to capture complex ideas — and she does it entirely without ego. She does not put fancy words in your mouth—she helps you figure out precisely what you need to say and how you need to say it.”

Sue Levin Former CMO + GM, Bolt Threads

“I feel a complete shift in my own power after working with Diane for just four months. She taught me tangible tools I’ve used to face challenging conversations and deal with difficult colleagues. These have been game changers for me. I’ve been able to flip important power dynamics at work that had been holding me back—and I did it while staying authentic to who I am.”
