What people are saying.

  • I can think of no better ally and advocate to work with when it comes to the painstaking process of developing a grant or project.

    Diana brings a truly unique combination of big picture prowess, intellectual ability and practical next steps as well as excellent good humour which transforms these processes from impossible to possible. She has an astonishing ability to get in the trenches with you as you wrestle with your processes, while she also illuminates the path forward.

  • I recommend Diana as a skilled workshop facilitator and a helpful guide to strategic planning and consultation.

    Outside Opinion has commissioned Diana to complete a wide range of projects. Our clients always find her to be friendly, super responsive and a fantastic listener. Diana is able to engage the toughest crowds and most sceptical participants. She is particularly skilled in online engagement and in person she is warm and energetic. In strategic planning, Diana is able to marshal the evidence, summarise perspective, cut through complexity and get the task done.

  • Diana brings a fabulous combination of strategic thinking, practicality, and client-centredness to her work.

    I have worked with Diana on several large strategic projects and every time she has achieved great outcomes. I feel confident sharing the most ‘problematic’ of issues with her, knowing she will always find a way through that meets our needs. She communicates solutions in ways that make sense. Highly recommended.

  • Diana's strategic advice and knack for planning extend well beyond higher education into local government, vocational education, the voluntary sector, and the arts.

    Diana excels at collaborative projects and has a unique knack for bringing diverse stakeholders together to explore shared values and to achieve shared goals. I have welcomed Diana's rigorous approach and creative insights on two youth-focussed projects supported by the City of Playford. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm make her a delight to work with.

  • I highly recommend Diana for her professional expertise and collaborative spirit.

    Diana's expertise as a facilitator and strategic planner was invaluable to the success of a workshop that I organised. Her supportive approach instilled confidence throughout the planning process, while her clear guidance helped transform the event into manageable steps.
