What Clients Say

Diana spoke at a KPMG event on reinventing work and the expectations of 5 or more generations in a time of rapid change. What made the morning special was not just the sharing of her knowledge and experience, but her lovely enveloping manner which drew out thoughts and opinions from those present – even the shy ones.

Diana’s broad teaching experience plays a big part in setting up a ‘stimulating’ environment for participants – the combination of enriching dialogues and exchanges, and the imparting of practical guidance and advice that brings together the theory with real cases. A board practitioner herself, she is able to provide great clarity and a nuanced view on board dynamics and behaviours, helping directors navigate the complexity of boardroom discussions and decision-making.

We invited Diana to speak on corporate innovation at our last round table with Chief Innovation Officers and senior business leaders and the feedback was fantastic! She set up a great framework for the group to debate how to create meaningful change. She’s a great facilitator, presenter and host and I was personally very impressed with the outcome of the session.

Natasha O'Brien , Randstad

I have a glowing review for Diana. She recently visited Expedia’s Hong Kong office to speak about the importance of resilience in the future of work. Her presentation was super-charged, insightful and entertaining, delivered with wit, humor and passion. The audience was actively engaged from start to finish, with several people bringing up points Diana had made in the weeks following her visit – the mark of a gifted speaker! I highly recommend Diana for speaking opportunities, you won’t be disappointed.

Diana has been a keynote speaker and supporter for several of our professional B2B focused events. She is a true visionary and thought leader whose progressive insights concerning the future of learning and work have brought tremendous value to the greater learning innovation community throughout Asia. I look forward to continued collaborative efforts with Diana as she helps weave together the narrative of skills and relevancy as we progress through our careers.
