What people are saying.

  • Di took me under her wing during what turned out to be the most difficult period of finding my place in the world. To me, that says it all. Not only did Di support me to develop a suite of PR skills that have directly contributed to the Sustainable Floristry Network’s success as a global education organisation, but she instilled the idea that all professional communication is an opportunity for positive collaboration and kindness. Without a doubt, Di has been the most influential professional mentor in my life, and for this I am super grateful.

  • "I was fortunate to work with Di through a number of different roles at the YMCA, and I treasured the experience every time. Di is a rare individual with a unique gift to see other’s untapped potential. Her ability to nurture and help individuals grow, particularly in their self-belief is uncommon and profound.and I truly believe any organisation striving to nurture and build their team members up to reach their full potential, would benefit from Di’s caring, calm and strategic approach."

  • "As a young person stepping into my first full time role and first job in the Marketing space, things sometimes felt a little overwhelming, but fortunately, I had the guidance and support from a mentor like Di. The mentorship I received over the years has not only provided me with valuable knowledge and skills, but also helped me build confidence in myself and my own abilities. Thank you, Di!
