EXPERIENCE CHANGES YOUR PERSPECTIVE
I didn’t study the entrepreneurial journey.
I lived it.
I began my professional career as an optometrist in 1978 and went on to build and lead independent practices, develop teams, navigate decades of change and ultimately sell the business I had spent much of my life creating.
Along the way, I became more than a clinician. I became an entrepreneur, employer, CEO, educator, advisor and speaker.
Today, I bring that lived experience to business owners and professionals navigating growth, leadership, transition—and whatever comes next.

HOW DIANA CAN HELP
Whether you’re building something, leading through change, or preparing for what comes next, you don’t always need another theory. Sometimes you need perspective from someone who has been there.

Advice feels different when it comes from experience.
I know what it is to start without a roadmap.
To lead a team.
To make difficult decisions.
To adapt.
To build something valuable.
To let go of something you've spent decades creating.
This isn't business theory. It's lived experience.
