ABOUT ORANGE DOOR

Likely you're dropping by because you're questioning what's next. What do you want to DO about work?

What career is best for me? How can I be a more effective manager? How should I ask for a promotion? Is it time to move on to another job/organization? Can I carry my strong work identity into retirement, and if so, how? If don't work in retirement, how will I continue the sense of accomplishment that I've experienced for years?

Joel Dietz

Looking to find a career coach? I'm Joel

You've come to the right place. I'm Joel Dietz, an experienced leadership and career coach in Houston, Texas driving outcomes for the professionals who work with me. From first-time managers through senior executives, for more than 20+ years, helping others create their own solutions to all things "work" is my superpower.


My clients seek coaching for career transition, to land a dream job, survive a horrible manager, lead a challenging team, bring purpose into retirement, or discover an encore gig. I give career guidance tailored to each client, extraordinary individuals looking for more out of their work.


I bring a business mindset to our conversation, having worked in corporate Human Resources leadership roles in public and private companies ranging from 3,000 to 13,000 employees in energy, telecom, business process outsourcing (BPO), and full service staffing. 


As I was looking at my 50s and beyond, I founded Orange Door so I can further enrich the lives, careers, and retirement of others. I take great pleasure in observing others discover joy, satisfaction, and achievement in their work.

YOUR CAREER COACH IN HOUSTON, SERVING CLIENTS LOCALLY AND VIRTUALLY, EVERYWHERE

Why work with me to develop your career?

  • I'm an Associate Certified Coach, credentialed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). My work aligns with the ethics and core competencies of ICF, reflecting evidence-based coaching. I also hold the ICF Advanced Certification in Team Coaching (ACTC) having demonstrated my ability to effectively coach teams and groups.
  • I'm first and foremost, a business professional, having worked in corporate leadership development and senior Human Resources roles for over 20 years.
  • I have years of experienced working with the assessment tools and coaching frameworks in which I'm certified.
  • My satisfied clients provide outstanding reviews and references for my work.
  • I bring humor, curiosity, and intuition to every conversation, while challenging you to achieve the results you want.


I completed a MS in Human Resource Development at the University of Texas at Tyler,  post graduate academic studies in Executive and Professional Coaching at the University of Texas at Dallas and further applied studies in organizational team coaching at the University of California at Davis.


If you need one more reason, dogs everywhere immediately adore me.  Mine sometime makes an appearance during online coaching. I'm a career coach in Houston and meet with clients live upon request locally, and with clients everywhere, virtually.

If you don't work with me...

I invite you to work with someone who has an active ICF credential, or ICF member actively pursuing their ICF credential. There are also fantastic coaches who are not ICF-certified. Ask for referrals from their clients. Literally anyone can call themselves a "coach." Ours is an unregulated field and most professional coaches have not completed the rigorous training and proven demonstration of coaching competencies required to earn ICF credentials.

What's the deal with the Orange Door?

Pet on Front Door

Orange is optimistic, enthusiastic, friendly and happy. As is Cecil. Then again, he's happy to run through any door.


While someday far in the future I will want to retire, I'll forever want to do this work that I find so gratifying. Orange Door is a bright portal to that future.
