In her new role at Diane Integrates, we (Harkcon) recently hired her as a consultant to learn from her Integrator for a GovCon self-implementing the EOS experience as we embarked on our first Annual Pulse Meeting to begin our second year of Traction. Diane analyzed our efforts implementing Traction the past year, met with all members of the L-10, and offered integration thoughts, ideas, and recommendations that made our Annual Pulse Meeting a great success, enabling us to meet all of our objectives and to create goals, objectives, and Rocks that will keep us on the path to achieving our 10-year goal!

I had such a great time recording with Diane for my ops podcast, RAW Spotlight. She was a dream guest—insightful, thoughtful, and full of practical wisdom that I know resonated with our audience.

What really stood out to me was how clearly she explained the messy middle that so many growing businesses get stuck in. Diane has this incredible ability to take tangled operations and break them down into something that feels manageable and focused—without overcomplicating it.

Our conversation flowed so naturally. She was open, generous with her knowledge, and had a calm, grounded energy that made the entire recording process feel effortless. I learned a lot from her and found myself nodding along the whole time.

If you’re a founder or second-in-command trying to grow sustainably, Diane is someone you want in your corner. And if you get the chance to work with her or interview her—say yes. You’ll walk away smarter, more inspired, and with much more clarity.

As someone who has conducted 50+ podcast interviews, I can confidently say that Diane is a dream guest.

Not only is she immensely knowledgeable, but she is also kind, empathetic, and knows how to tell a good story.

All of the above made the conversation flow super easily and the audience got to know her as an expert AND as a person.

In just one hour, I've learned so much from Diane: how different personalities can work together and create some magic and how we can apply the CEO/COO dynamic to small businesses, a notion Diane skillfully adapted to my target audience.

Thanks to her 25 years of experience in various businesses, she understands people and how they work, think, and operate.

Best of all, many of her insights can easily be turned into sound bites and clips, which is honestly every podcast host's dream!

Needless to say, I'm looking forward to round 2! :)

Diane is a smart, multi-talented leader and people-person. She hired me to write for Performance Excellence Partners (PEP) and was my immediate supervisor for the bulk of my assignments. She was a great editor: She never failed to give outstanding (and crystal clear) feedback on my work. She is a kind and empathetic supervisor and co-worker. She is also supremely organized and adept at drawing valuable lessons from her work experiences. Her position at PEP entailed wearing several hats, and she managed all her domains with dedication and integrity.

I have no doubt that through her new company, Diane Integrates, she will prove invaluable at helping high-level execs find their business-ops mojo.

My first experience working on a federal grant was the DOL Youth Career Connect grant (YCC) from 2014 to 2018. Diane's steady and consistent leadership made my time on the grant team one of the best experiences I have had in my professional career. She is excellent at following through and monitoring progress. She is a careful listener as she considers options and implements strategies that will best serve the client. Her interpersonal and flexibility skills are exceptional. I have seen her work with a large team to organize our work and redirect focus as needed, as well as rearrange agendas, meeting spaces, travel commitments and workshop/presentation content logistics quickly and successfully.

On a personal note, Diane helped me make my infographics more focused and visually appealing and I was able to upgrade my skill level appreciably thanks to her input. Diane is one of the best professionals I have had the pleasure to work with in my 45+ years of public service.

Working with Diane was a great experience! Before hiring her, my business wasn't operating in a scalable way. From the start, Diane was prompt, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. Her expertise in operations allows me to focus on aspects of my business that I enjoy and excel in and outsource the rest. The best part - she gives specific action steps to make it happen and is there to provide support along the way. I highly recommend working with her!
