Diane has long been a student of human nature. Early on, she found herself drawn to the world of acting – not for the recognition – but for the chance to get inside the head of the character she was being asked to play. Looking for the motivation behind the actions intrigued her, and bringing these roles to life gave her a unique insight into human nature.She found that her interest in and study of human behavior and performance served her well when she became a human resource professional. She put her knowledge of motivation to work as she hired, trained, managed, coached, counseled and disciplined employees. Diane has over 20 years of combined experience as a coach, speaker, and trainer, in the hospitality, manufacturing, and pest control industries, in various associations, as well as preschool and governmental sectors. |
