Meet Diana C. Stephens, PhD
I’ve always enjoyed helping people brainstorm options about their career.
My relentless curiosity drives me to dig deeper for more innovative answers. Having been a casualty of five corporate layoffs in 10 years, I know all too well the life disruption caused by a job transition. I’ve walked that path for over 16 years, the career chaos, health challenges and eldercare for a parent with Alzheimer’s. All of this caused severe financial issues and deep stress in my life. My quest to feel more secure became a journey to make sense of the chaos, understand why it happened and establish simple mindfulness and motivational practices for stress relief and to bring balance, stability, and serenity back to my life. I also created a tactical job search action plan which incorporated mindfulness as well as must have job search techniques such as resume and Linked In practices.
This journey led me to complete my PhD in Holistic coaching. It was during my doctoral studies that my “mess became my mission” so, I created Mindful Job Alignment, based on my doctoral dissertation “A Mindful Approach to Job Search.”
Mindful Job Alignment can help you with the next steps in your career.
During my journey, I have studied various mindfulness techniques that I believe anyone can bring into their life in a simple cost-efficient way. I now want to share this knowledge with you, so that you too can make sense of the difficult times and move forward with a vision for your future.
In addition to my PhD, I also have an MBA in Marketing and a Master and Bachelor of Music in Voice Performance. I am a seeker and am always taking some kind of class!
I am a Certified Empowerment and Motivational Professional (CEMP) and Certified Digital Career Strategist (CDCS) through the Professional Association of Resume Writers and Career Coaches (PARWCC). I am also a Certified Infinite Possibilities Trainer (certified by Mike Dooley, TUT.com), Reiki Master Teacher (Usui lineage), and a Doterra International Certified Essential Oil specialist. I utilize a variety of these holistic techniques in my coaching practice.
Prior to starting my own company, I had over 35 years in corporate account management for a variety of Fortune 500 companies, in various consumer products verticals calling on National Retailers. I have also worked as a Customer Success Manager in the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry.
Be so good they can’t ignore you

Our Mission
Has your career taken a turn for the worse, or have you been downsized?
I’ve been there and I can help you create a plan to help cope with the changes and move forward
My mission in creating Mindful Job Alignment is to help you formulate a step-by-step career action plan that you can begin implementing in your life TODAY! I’ve been where you are at, contemplating a job change or experiencing a forced transition. You can have a better future……and I can help!
In my 8-step program, I will take you on the journey from processing the job transition through motivational reading, creating serene space in the home, meditation, and journaling. After processing the transition, you will then look at distinguishing important values & skills and craft both into a job vision.
Once the job vision is created, then you can solidify your personal brand and promote it on LinkedIn and through your resume and networking. After the branding, I will help you craft a targeted job search action plan along with tracking tools to keep you focused, moving forward and motivated.
The Mindful Job Alignment Path
You can take this process with you for the remainder of your career, as you encounter twists and turns. My process helps to provide ongoing motivation for creating your dream future.
Given the challenging times that we are living in today, I believe it is crucial that everyone has a mindful action plan in place to cope with the bumps in the road of life.
Corporate “downsizing” is a fact of life and will continue to take place in the workforce with the 45+ age groups being particularly hard hit. It helps immensely if you are prepared with an action plan.
My programs are offered through online courses with the opportunity to join online career networking groups. There are also a limited number of opportunities for 1:1 coaching sessions.
