In today’s episode of Lead On Purpose, I sit down with the legendary Dianna Kokoszka — author of Becoming More, former CEO at Keller Williams MAPS Coaching, and long-time mentee of John Maxwell.
Dianna’s leadership wisdom has influenced hundreds of thousands of people — and today, she shares it all with you.
From door-knocking with her kids in a wagon to leading one of the largest coaching organisations in the world, Dianna’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
We discuss:
- Why coaching is essential for leadership — not optional
- The difference between impact and influence
- How to lead with both high standards and high connection
- The difference between attitude and mindset — and why it matters
- Her life-changing model: from being, to doing, to becoming
This episode is a masterclass in how to lead others by developing yourself.
And it’s also a powerful invitation: to become the author of your own story and take back the pen.
Dianna’s new book, Becoming More, is a transformational guide for anyone who wants to unlock their full potential — and help others do the same.
If this episode resonates, please share it with someone you care about.
And remember — your leadership is not just about results. It’s about becoming more so you can give more.
