Do you seek to gain personal freedom, achieve your top priorities, and cultivate a meaningful life?
Are you getting many things done, but still feel unaccomplished and unsatisfied at the end of your day?
Is your way of living, working, or running your business out of sync with your deepest desires and true purpose?
If you’re looking to make positive, lasting changes in simple, manageable steps — while keeping the stuff you love — talk to me.
I’m your Productivity Coach who will help you integrate your life and work to create fulfillment, independence, and success on your terms. Although I am often asked to coach and speak on “work/life balance,” I believe work is very much a part of life and a better term is “work-life blend.”
I partner with working parents, attorneys, business owners and other “busy” people who seek to turn their ideals into action, maximize productivity (i.e. get the most important things done), and make time for what truly matters.

Founder & Principal Attorney at Dyan Williams Law PLLC. I am an immigration lawyer who helps foreign nationals live, work and study lawfully in the U.S. I help them fulfill their own personal version of the American dream.
