Dianna Apineru, Founder & President
I grew up in North Texas and now live in the Austin, TX metropolitan area. Prior to college in Hawaii, I had the privilege to serve as a Christian missionary in Mexico where we build preschools to educate shut in children, then for Thailand Refugee Relief Services in Phanat Nikhom, Thailand supervising a large distribution program providing clothing to thousands of refugees from Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. There were so many refugee children I realized I wanted to make a difference in the lives of children during their foundational years in the hope of impacting generations in a positive way with education.
I then enrolled at University of the Nations in Kailua-Kona, HI where I studied Early Childhood Education and Montessori with a Christian curriculum, as well as Bible and Apologetics Courses. I used my biblical foundation and ECE to teach children for years in church and in Montessori schools, a couple of which I owned.
I married and had 3 sons, owned 4 small businesses while raising 3 sons in order to be home with them. I was the President of my Toastmaster club in Kailua-Kona, HI.
In 2001, during 9/11, we moved to Austin, TX to be closer to family. I worked in a advertising agency and as an Account Executive for ABC and Time Warner. I decided to become a Project Manager and Business Analyst on information technology software projects to be on the cutting edge of data flow. Places I have had the privilege to work on their projects are Dell Technologies, Google, VA Financial Services Center, Schwab, CVS Health, etc.
I have been a single parent for my 3 sons 25+ years and survived to talk about it! Now I continue to learn how to be a parent to 3 adult children.
I enjoyed years of coaching and mentoring several preteen and teen groups as my sons were growing up.
I also started singles and single parent groups.
In 2017, I founded Best Coaching 4 Life Success LLC out of my heart for people who need help through transitions in their lives. In 2023, I converted Best Coaching 4 Life Success into a nonprofit in hopes of helping more people make successful transitions from teens, to parents, and all stages in between. We have an amazing Board of Directors and Board of Advisors who have a heart to help people make Smarter Decisions 4 Better Futures!
