“It is a beautiful thing, to be seen by someone who knows what they are looking at. That’s what it is like working with Di - she sees people as they are, in their entirety, and for all they have to offer. From my first session with Di it was clear she has a passion for helping young professionals extract the very best of themselves and create space for their creativity - no matter how big or small their aspirations are. Her belief in my abilities has helped me challenge myself and take up space with confidence.
