Coaching Testimonials

“I have known Dietmar, as a workshop facilitator and coach, for going on 5 years, during which he has given me invaluable guidance. No stranger to therapists, counsellors and coaches, I have to say that his ability to see through to the heart of the matter and to help me see it with clarity is unmatched. He is personable and loving, creating a very safe space to share and explore. He is also professional and authentic – with Dietmar, you’re going to get the truth. Always. It’s that authenticity and honesty that has helped me to take ownership and responsibility of the way I show up in my own life and his voice is also in my mind when I know I’m veering away from my truth. I imagine a continued relationship with him for years to come and would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about working on becoming their best selves.”

“Dietmar’s insight and approach has helped me immensely in choosing my own path. He skillfully guides towards decision making points without interfering, only allowing you to come to your own conclusions by offering perspective, compassion, and knowledge. All within a framework that can only be created by someone with a strong understanding of the human condition and an ability to quickly grasp the pivotal point that you find yourself. Dietmar is a wonderful personal coach, facilitator, and resource for those who are searching for answers from within themselves.”

Loryanne Shanks

“I have had the privilege of having Dietmar accompany me as a Coach on my healing journey. He is very supportive and sensitive, and yet not afraid to challenge me to be more honest with myself and have the courage to always ‘go deeper.’ Dietmar is knowledgeable, dynamic, passionate, and discerning and has been able to guide me to follow the deepest desires of my heart. Having gone through some major life transitions in these last two and a half years, I am incredibly grateful that Dietmar has been my coach and companion on this path to wholeness and new life.”

Linda D.

“Dietmar has been a huge blessing to the lives of both myself and my daughter. He was a coach in our Hoffman programs where he excelled as someone who was truly kind, non-judgemental and fully understanding of what kind of support we each needed. We went at different times but Dietmar made a strong impression on both of us. Dietmar’s way with keeping the group engaged and open was wonderful. He is very genuine and genuinely cares about the people he works with which is wonderful after being in the counselling business for quite a few years. The genuinely caring and the experience is a powerful combination. After our individual retreats, my daughter and I continued to work with Dietmar with over the phone counselling. We did this for quite a while, and I believe that a large part of our present good mental health has been facilitated by the work we did with Dietmar. We certainly both have real life situations to deal with but having the right tools is a huge help along with the right mental attitude which Dietmar helped myself and my daughter instill in our way of thinking. I feel Dietmar is a first-class counsellor and facilitator. His way with people is outstanding.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Dietmar at a Hoffman Proces, where he was a part of the coaching staff. I immediately felt a connection to him and his bright, uplifting energy. After the process, I was looking for some more coaching and started one on one sessions with Dietmar. I was nervous at first, because I thought I would be judged or criticized; however, Dietmar has a very welcoming and understanding approach and I immediately knew that I could trust him completely. After every session I felt light, grounded and in touch with myself, almost forgetting the reason I set up the meeting in the first place. Dietmar continuously found a way to lift me up and show me that I could overcome anything, all while reminding me that he was just handing me the tools and I was doing all the work. Whatever the issue was that I needed help with, Dietmar always knew the right thing to say and supplied me with the knowledge and courage to overcome my fears and insecurities. He guided me to understand myself and my past and reassured me that if I kept putting in the work, I would see positive results. Dietmar is a very down to earth, sensitive, caring and understanding person. He has thorough knowledge on the aspects of self-love, forgiveness, self-nurturing, compassion and how to become the person you want to be…the divine spirit who has truly been inside all along. Dietmar has guided me through some very difficult times and has helped me become the strong, positive, self-loving person that I am today. I am forever grateful for his help and all of the wisdom he has imparted over the years.
Thank you Dietmar.”

“I have had the privilege to use Dietmar for coaching. He is extremely professional and very helpful. He helped me look at parts of myself that I had never wanted to acknowledge or work on. His coaching has helped my relationship be more! With clients, co-workers and most importantly with the people that I care most about in my life, allowing for deeper connections and acceptance of others and myself. I highly recommend Dietmar!”

Amber R.

“I have a vivid recollection of the first time I met Dietmar. There was an instant connection as he smiled and welcomed me with a big hug, and I immediately knew that this man would facilitate a very positive shift in my life. Dietmar was my teacher through a recent intake of the Hoffman Process, and his immense knowledge, integrity and compassion steered me through a very challenging time. Upon completion of the Process, Dietmar has continued to guide and mentor me through regular counseling, and I have found him to be an invaluable resource who inspires me to always strive to be better.”

“I met Dietmar at the Hoffman Process in Caroline Alberta. He was one of three facilitators during this 8 day process/retreat. After I completed the process I did very little formal work using the tools that I had learned. In April 2016, my fiancée took the process and I picked up my dusty Hoffman book and started to do the work again. I realized that I had come a long way, but I had missed crucial things as well. It was at this point that I reached out to Dietmar. He lovingly and passionately took me on as a coaching client…and I use the word coach specifically. Dietmar is an expert coach and guide through a pathway that is not always clear. He directs the coaching calls like a maestro guides a symphony using a myriad of tools and techniques. He was able to help define the issues with me and zone in on them so I could do the homework to help me move through them. The awareness I gained from 4 sessions with him was unparalleled … the growth achieved was fast tracked and for that I am truly grateful. Thank you Dietmar for being an amazing human…and an amazing healer.”

“I am a Hoffman graduate and continued my journey with Dietmar by enrolling in coaching lessons following the retreat. I felt a connection with Dietmar during the Hoffman process as I could see he truly cared about my well-being and wanted me to succeed. During my coaching lessons I was aware he was truly listening to what I had to say and when I needed to hear information that I was avoiding dealing with he approached and delivered it in a firm, kind way. His assistance with my journey has caused me to take personal responsibility for my happiness and I have achieved that goal. I released many issues that were holding me back and I can honestly say I am the happiest I have ever been in my life and good things are continuing to come to me. All the things I had been wishing for. I highly recommend Dietmar for coaching or any involvement with assisting people on their personal or business journey.”

Cavelle A.

“Dietmar is a remarkably insightful therapist who guided me through hard time in my life. He was patient, empathetic, and able to grasp the crucial issues that were holding me back from achieving the success I desired. I felt safe with Dietmar. His kind, gentle approach and solid sound advice always helped me feel hope for the future. Dietmar ensures that you are understood and most importantly given tools to help you empower yourself and your relationships with others. I would return to Dietmar in a heartbeat and highly recommend his practice.”

Xeniya K.

“I met Dietmar through a personal development seminar and was glad to see that he had a coaching service to extend to participants. I have worked with Dietmar several times particularly when I have been facing major decisions and even life struggles. His approach is caring, kind and very much non-judgmental, but he is more than willing to cut to the chase. I appreciate this honesty and guidance to ask myself tough questions and take that long look in the mirror which ultimately brings about clarity. His overall motto is “Ask yourself if this is good and loving to you”, I use this simple phrase countless times from day to day interactions, larger scale decisions and in my relationships with others. Thanks Dietmar! Big Hugs!”

Chantal L.

“I have made several positive changes in my life since working with Dietmar. His passion and his caring direction encourages me to continuously practice the Process tools. I have broken through some significant negative patterns that where holding me back from moving into my next stage of life – a vision of retirement. Thank you, Dietmar!”

Sue S.

“Just hearing your name Dietmar brings me back to the loving safe place that was created inside myself at the Hoffman! It brings me back to all the tools and reminds me to use them in order to balance that table….the 4 aspect of self!”

Marianne S.

“For me, coaching is about becoming more self-aware, developing your self-confidence and personal courage, and opening up a world of new choices and possibilities. In working with Dietmar I have discovered my true potential and I have learned to become what I desire in life. I cannot say enough about Dietmar’s coaching abilities and how he just knows what areas to work on to ensure positive self-growth. Thank you Dietmar for being YOU and for helping me find my true self.”

Kelly A.

“I have had Dietmar for a counselor for over three years and have been amazed at how I have grown with his help.  Over the years my husband and I have been to numerous councilor’s and have never gotten to the core of our problems and I have to say that Dietmar has helped us get to the core and start communicating again.  My heart is so much lighter, and we are truly grateful!  I would not think twice to contact him, should I need help in anyway or form! Dietmar has a great understanding and compassion for others.”

Business & Consulting Testimonials

“At our annual strategic planning session, we engaged Dietmar to develop a program on Personal Leadership Development, a shift away from the traditional team building exercises used in the past. As a growing, energetic group servicing the health care industry, we were looking for a deeper understanding of how we worked together as a team.

Dietmar created and facilitated a highly effective team building program with a focus on personal growth and leadership skills. Within the first 5 minutes, our team was fully engaged. The energy, passion, and enthusiasm that Dietmar projected was exhilarating and the transformation in everyone present was profound. In interviews following our session, everyone agreed that they were each personally impacted in a significant way and had a better understanding of how they were working together.

We are now planning quarterly sessions with Dietmar to build on these experiences and facilitate a real shift in our corporate values as we meet the challenges ahead. If you are looking to change the culture of your organization, we would highly recommend Dietmar.”

“Dietmar Heine conducted a series of phenomenally successful visioning and strategic planning sessions for our organization. Prior to conducting the sessions, Dietmar met with the key members of the leadership team and took the time to really listen to our needs, understand the work of the organization and the outcomes we wanted to achieve. He conducted sessions for our whole staff as well as with the leadership team, all which led to the development of a vision and mission statement and a strategic plan. After each session, Dietmar provided us with notes and a road map which allowed us to continue the work in-house. We found Dietmar to be deeply knowledgeable of the strategic planning process and the need to involve all staff. The group processes he used in each session were engaging and ensured that all staff were able to participate in a non-threatening way. He understood the complexities of working with different individuals within a team setting and made sure that everyone felt comfortable. We would highly recommend Dietmar for this work.

The notion of a strategic plan is now on everyone’s lips and Dietmar’s work with us has greatly contributed to this. So, thank you Dietmar for your work and I would be happy to act as a referee for anyone that wishes to speak to me.”

“We hired Dietmar’s group to start us on a journey to improve our companies’ culture. We have embarked on a growth strategy that will change the company and challenge many of our managers and staff. To ensure we engage all employees and create an atmosphere of excitement and achievement we asked Dietmar to start us off on the right foot. Dietmar conducted interviews with all of our employees which then provided us a detailed assessment of how we were functioning as a team. From those finding, Dietmar formulated a plan to help everyone understand the company goals and how they can affect the outcome. The results of the survey were enlightening which provided us with clarity as to what was needed to engage our team. Through the entire process Dietmar provided guidance and reassurance that while the task seemed daunting it was achievable.

It resulted in our first culture night at which time we kicked off the journey we are now on.
Since that night the company has a different feel to it, employees are engaged and the company is profitably growing. If you are attempting to make permanent change in your culture, I highly recommend Dietmar.”

His preparation and personal connections with team members was through. He has a huge heart and is always willing to give of himself for the betterment of all people he works with.

He balances this passion with eagerness to learn and grow and continue to serve in the best way possible. He has shown incredible tenacity and dedication through his training and work and has always kept his desire to help others at the forefront. His clients always reported feeling cared for, respected, and felt safe to be vulnerable and grow, while working with Dietmar. It was a pleasure to work with him, and to see his authenticity shine through. He is committed to the betterment of others and their families.”
