The Diamond Method Cohorts

Six weeks live with Yvonne. Twelve seats. For women ready to stop dimming their light and start being seen.

You've read the books. You've been to the events. You've told yourself you'll get to it once things calm down. This is the programme for when they don't.

​

The Diamond Method Cohorts are the live, guided version of everything we teach at Always Be A Diamond, delivered in a small group of twelve women who are ready to do the work. Six weeks. One act at a time. Real accountability, real peer connection, real transformation.

Who this is for

This is for you if:

  • You're in a mid-level or senior role in the IT Channel, B2B tech or a male-dominated professional services industry

  • You've built a career on merit and delivery, and you can feel a ceiling above you that you can't quite name

  • You know networking matters, but everything you've tried has felt uncomfortable, transactional or fake

  • You want a method that fits who you are, not one that asks you to become someone else

  • You want peer accountability, real conversations, and measurable results

 

This is not for you if:

  • You want a quick fix or a set of tactics without the work behind them

  • You're looking for individual therapy or a broader life coach

  • You want to sit at the back and stay quiet (you can, but you won't get the value)

Why a cohort works when going it alone hasn’t

Development doesn't happen in books. Or podcasts. Or on your own on a Sunday morning. It happens in relationship, with a coach who knows what she is doing and a peer group who holds you accountable. Six weeks in a cohort will shift what fifteen years of solo self-help hasn't touched.

​

The cohorts are deliberately small. Twelve seats maximum. Every voice heard. Every commitment tracked. Every session live with Yvonne, not a pre-recorded version of her.

What is included

Every cohort, regardless of which act you take, includes:

​

  • Weekly live 90-minute sessions with Yvonne over six weeks

  • Structured buddy pairings with a fellow cohort member for peer accountability between sessions

  • The Diamond Confidence Assessment at the start and end (measurable before and after across seven facets)

  • The Connection Equation quiz and personalised Connection Score (Connections cohort) or the Priority Planner and productivity toolkit (Leadership cohort)

  • Full self-paced access to the digital version of your act, for lifetime reference

  • Per-lesson PDF workbook, downloadable and printable

  • Diamond Circle membership for the duration of the cohort

  • Yvonne AI access throughout: your personal coaching companion between sessions

  • A paperback copy of Conditioning Kills Confidence, signed on request

The Diamond Method

The Diamond Method moves you through three acts, in a deliberate sequence. The order matters because trying to do the later work without the earlier work is why most confidence and networking programmes fail.

Act One: Diamond Confidence (Know Your Worth)

​

The foundation. Understand why your confidence has been quietly eroded and rebuild it structurally rather than situationally. Frameworks include the Diamond Confidence Assessment, the Characters of Conditioning, the SEE Method, and the VALUE Method.

 

Act Two: Diamond Connections (The Confidence to Connect)

 

Build a network that actively works for you, without pretending to be someone you are not. Frameworks include the Connection Equation, the Carbon Principle, the Four Cs of Connection and the 3C Introduction Framework.

 

Act Three: Diamond Leadership (Confidence, Connection, Capability)

 

Turn confidence and connection into leadership. Lead yourself first, then others. Frameworks include the Fearless Feedback Framework, the TORCH Model, Clearing the Chaos, the Priority Planner and ASSIGN.

 

Each cohort runs one act live over six weeks. You can start with any act, though most people begin with Confidence because everything else builds on it. Or you can join the Full Diamond Method Cohort, which runs all three acts across six months in one continuous group.

What changes for you

By the end of your cohort:

​

  • Your Diamond Confidence Score will have measurably shifted across the seven facets

  • You will walk into rooms you used to avoid and have conversations you used to dread

  • Your Connection Equation Score will move; you will be able to point at specific opportunities that came from connections you built or reactivated during the cohort

  • You will have practised the courageous conversation you had been avoiding for months

  • You will have a repeatable way of introducing yourself in any room, in any context, that feels like you

  • You will have a buddy relationship that lasts well beyond the cohort itself

  • You will have measurable evidence, on paper and in the room, that something has changed

Questions

When do the next cohorts run?

 

Cohorts run four times a year on a rolling cadence: Q1 (Confidence), Q2 (Connections), Q3 (Leadership), Q4 (Confidence). The current cohort dates and availability are on the application page.

 

What if I can’t make a live session?

​

Every live session is recorded and sent to you within 24 hours. Buddy check-ins can be rescheduled between the two of you. Missing one or two is fine; missing more than that and you will get less from the cohort.

 

Is this only for women?

 

The frameworks work for anyone who has been conditioned to hold back. The cohorts are primarily built around the female professional experience in male-dominated industries. If you are not sure it is for you, book a discovery call and we will work it out together.

​

Do I need to have done the self-paced course first?

 

No. The cohort includes full access to the self-paced content, so you are covered on the material. What the cohort adds is live delivery, group accountability, and Yvonne in the room.

 

Can I bring a colleague or friend?

 

Yes. Two participants from the same team is fine and often powerful. Three or more starts to change the group dynamic, so at that point we would look at a bespoke cohort for your team.

 

What if I want the private, faster version?

 

The VIP Diamond Method is 1:1 coaching with Yvonne over three or six months. Same method, delivered privately, at your pace. Details on the VIP page.

​

What is the refund policy?

 

Full refunds are available up to seven days before the cohort start date. After that, no refunds are offered, but your seat may be transferable to the next cohort at Yvonne's discretion.

A diamond does not dim its light to make others comfortable. Neither should you.
