Diana is a founding partner of Theatre 4 Business, a UK and US based coaching and training company established in 2003. Through her energised presentations, master classes and workshops Diana offers an irresistible invitation for each of us to connect to our unique creative force and our capacity to communicate inspirationally.

Her married sons, Justin and Toban teach her about the art of adventure and living your dreams. Her grandson Cole keeps the world of wonder alight in her life. Having travelled to over 35 countries naturally she spends a lot of time on planes. Nevertheless she is woefully unsavvy about air miles.
