"Shores of Success is a practical, fun, and interesting way to teach your child or any child you care about the rewards of being responsible and caring for others. Children are naturally helpful and generous but may need reminders and incentives to practice on a regular basis. Caregivers model good communication and problem-solving skills which is an additional bonus of this well-crafted, interactive game." ~ Dr. Paula Schmidt, Ph.D., Educational Psychologist
"I really like this game and have been using it with my grandson Mickel. We figure out what reward he wants and keep a notebook, so he can see his progress. He loves feeling like he can earn the things he wants, rather than waiting on the adults to simply give him things. He really loves being helpful, and you can see it boosts his self-esteem when he helps others out. I love seeing him thinking of others and thinking about the consequences of his choices, actually thinking things through, knowing that he's building his critical thinking skills for the future. And I love that there are extra tools that help when anyone gets stuck, like the ones that help build understanding and strengthen communication. I'm looking forward to bringing this game with me to his school when I start teaching there next month, I want to see how we can include it there." ~ Amelie Hamilton

I understand! Most people who get where they want to go in life have a coach, did you know that? And this unique blend of coaching and consulting will help you:
>> Define your life vision ~ what lights you up and gives you a sense of meaning and purpose?

>> Design a plan that actually works when you become distracted or stuck
>> Gain momentum and accomplish your goals faster by adding in consistent support
>> Strengthen resilience and essential life skills like communication, decision-making, creative problem-solving, time-management, and goal-setting with a skill-building expert who's been assisting people for 30+ years
>> And celebrate accomplishing your goals together in a meaningful way!
>> And if you need help with website design, video creation (the videos above I created), and promotion, I help clients with that too. You can see website examples here.
"Dianne has been instrumental in helping me discover my strengths and resetting priorities to be able to achieve a new path in life. During our conversations, she supports my spiritual path without judgment or bias. I am grateful that she challenges me with open ended questions to find how my past perceptions are holding me back. Then she gently holds me accountable for my actions. After speaking with Dianne, my life goals are now more in focus without the clouds of judgment or bias. It takes time to have focused conversations to aid in healthy decisions without the interference of the old ideas and support systems.
Dianne continues to provide books, videos, breathing techniques, and meditation examples to re-emphasize our conversations. She's been an incredible support and cheerleader for me to make the tough decisions while moving forward in life. We all have our good days and bad, we celebrate both together. On the bad days, I am reminded by Dianne of how far I have come and on the good days we celebrate with cheer. Not only has Dianne become a life coach for me, she is a great advocate. It has been an honor to know Dianne during this time in my life, with her support, I feel much stronger and the possibilities seem endless. I am truly blessed having Dianne in my life."

Welcome! You're here because you want to develop essential life skills in yourself and your family or clients. And with so much information available, you want vetted materials that are time-tested and proven to work. I get it and you are in the right place!
Hi, I'm Dianne Fanti and I've spent 30 years studying and teaching the most useful therapeutic techniques from the healing and expressive arts. I've consolidated these into a system and an educational approach that can dramatically improve people's feelings of well-being, relieving stress and challenging emotions, while strengthening resilience and building essential life skills!
What's unique about my work is that I work with both helping and mental health professionals and also directly with families. My RESET educational program is approved by the MD State Dept. of Education and the National Association of Social Work and I have trained the staff at Baltimore Crisis Response, Inc., the school psychologists at Mergenthaler High School, Baltimore's largest high school, and others in my unique skill-building approach.
While many people now consider me a Skill-building Specialist, I grew up with a lot of adversity and know how it feels when you feel like you lacked some vital life skills, and I don't want anyone to feel like that! It's not necessary. So in my programs you'll find fun, creative, and engaging ways to build your own and your community's essential life skills and sense of well-being. I'm delighted that you're here and welcome to the Skill-building Society that we're cultivating together!
To our success and well-being,
Dianne

"I highly recommend “Discovering Emotional Freedom: Understanding & improving your relationships with your emotions” by Dianne A. Fanti, M.S. The research is precise and Dianne has taken what I would consider a complex subject and has made it so accessible. DISCOVERING EMOTIONAL FREEDOM is a journey mapped at the outset and comes full circle at the end. It leads those on a journey of understanding their emotions towards several templates and creative outlets, along with a guide to assist them in appropriating emotions in positive ways, and how to shift their thinking with the emotions that keep them further away from their goals. At every paragraph, the reader learns more and more. The Essay is a musical orchestral opus resounding with a wide series of crescendos that urge us to stop, think, and leap into the references offered. What a joy!" ~ Dr. Jean Seville Suffield, Doctor of Natural Medicine, Canada
"I really liked the way the ideas in this book were introduced, like how it gave me multiple ways to look at things, and discovering how we can free ourselves from those things that hold us down. Dianne offered many ways to get free from these things, the psychological traumas and emotional challenges that hold us back. It opened up my perspective and way of looking at things and gave me so many more options. I'm so happy I have it and I keep thinking of people I know who will love it and find it just as valuable."
~ Karen Thomas, Caregiver in Maryland
