Nature can be unpredictable in the same way business can be, and Diane is known for taking calculated risks to enable client development and growth. She says, “I grew up surfing waves in South Africa, I quickly learnt when to surf a wave and when not to, in case I was dumped by the wave.”

What makes Diane a standout coach, facilitator and speaker? Not only is her work enriched by her multicultural experiences, she is renowned for delivering novel and creative approaches to the usual humdrum of tired facilitation we’ve all become used to.
