Greetings Friends,

I am my own first client. I have transformed myself and my life from a starving artist on food stamps with a college degree to a CEO and leader of a worldwide company, New Generations International.  I have become a millionaire mom with a successful family and ecstatic marriage, a healthy and fit body, a real estate investment portfolio, and an award winning book distributed worldwide. How did I do this as a single parent, self-employed and self-supporting?

I sought out and learned from the best. I am in profound gratitude for my teachers, guides, coaches, support team and friends who have shaped my learning and growth through several careers and relationships. Many authors who have shared their learning with us have influenced my decisions and benchmarked my milestones; financially, physically spiritually, emotionally and intellectually. You too can build a life of profound contribution, internal peace and create your own definition of success. Onward!

Diana Sterling (formerly Diana Haskins) is a 30 year veteran business owner and innovator. Her commitment to being a business owner and also helping others find meaning and success has resulted in the creation of New Generations International, Inc., a personal and professional development company serving families, teens and individuals worldwide.

As CEO, Diana oversees three divisions of New Generations International. Her fantastically effective business educational program, Vision in Action is a testimony for her relentless enthusiasm for self-employment, which she founded on the heels of her transformation from Film Production Company owner to New Generations International CEO. The second division Parent as Coach, is a series of programs designed to support parents going through the struggling teen years of parenting. Diana and her son Jordan, now 23, found that the skills and systems of coaching allowed them both to migrate successfully through his often difficult teen years and her even more difficult “parent of teen” years.  Academy for Family Coach Training is the third division and compliments the other two by offering the world acclaimed Advanced Coaching Course, which trains professionals in the art of professional coaching in the specialty of teens and parents.

In addition to her leadership role, Diana is an executive coach, lecturer, trainer and facilitator in the areas of Small Business Development, Parenting, Life Skills, and Professional Coaching. She has a wealth of knowledge and communicative skills acquired through her background in coaching, teaching, drama, music and film production. Diana holds a Bachelor Degree in Drama and is working towards a Masters Degree in Education majoring in Adult Learning and Development at Portland State University. She has completed a Professional Certificate in Coaching at New Ventures West and holds the distinction of being a Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, certified by Life Design International.
Diana is the author of Parent as Coach: Helping Your Teen Build a Life of Confidence, Courage and Compassion (White Oak Publishing 2001), which has international distribution in North America, Latin America, Korea, Europe and Australia.

It has been translated into Spanish and Korean. She is a member of the International Coach Federation and National Association of Women Business Owners. Diana is known for her innovative and creative style of coaching and training having achieved excellent results with a diverse base of individual clients, including corporate executives, small business owners, service professionals, professional coaches, parents and teenagers.

Prior to founding New Generations International, Diana served as Executive Producer of The Production Team, Inc, which she founded in 1993. She is an award winning film and video producer with over fifteen years as a freelance producer. She produced and directed a thirty-minute documentary, “Guerilla Theatre” for Outside In, a non-profit agency working with homeless youth, earning her a First Place Telly Award, which took her into deep into the world of homeless youth, still a moving reminder to help others, more importantly young people.

Diana is a Body for Life 2002 Winner in Bill Phillips Body for Life worldwide competition, completing a 12 week body overhaul challenge on her 45th birthday. She is known for her unique blend of education and entertainment in both presentation and curriculum design and her enthusiasm for helping people is infectious. Diana is married to a caring, insightful man of God, Bill Sterling, adding to her growth on a daily basis. And the true inspiration for her dedication comes from her positive relationship with her grown son, Jordan, who says on a regular basis, “Go for it, Mom!”
