Diana Oehrli

Swiss-American executive coach with 20+ years of international experience, helping professionals and family leaders navigate life’s biggest transitions since 2016. Creator of The Pressures of Privilege platform—a blog and podcast offering “From Isolation to Impact: A surprisingly unboring guide to wealth, power, and purpose.”

Coaching Philosophy

Coaching for transitions that demand more than just mindset.

I help professionals and family leaders navigate life’s most complex transitions—career pivots, divorce, illness, burnout, recovery, reinvention—without losing their health, purpose, or sense of self.

My coaching blends clinical wellness, recovery insight, and strategic planning. Whether you’re rebuilding after a setback or preparing for what’s next, I help you move forward with strength, clarity, and intention.

Why Clients Choose Me

I bring 23+ years of global leadership and lived experience—from modernizing a family business during a decade-long legal battle, to navigating divorce abroad while raising children, to transforming my own health after burnout and addiction.

Clients appreciate my blend of strategic thinking and grounded empathy.
