Diane is very strong in elevator pitch coaching. Thanks to her wise advice, I was able to improve my pitch and present my message in a clear and concise manner. Her mastery of communication goes far beyond words, she also knows how to use her voice and body language to captivate the audience. Diane guided me effectively in these essential aspects of communication. Her passion, professionalism and ability to create a positive learning atmosphere makes her an invaluable partner for those looking to improve their communications skills.

It is a great pleasure to work with Diane. I was able to benefit from her support as part of the incubation program at Polytechnique.

Christelle Astorg-Lepine, Managing Director, Starburst France
Diane made a strong impression with Starburst and our startups by spotting exactly our weaknesses and how to improve on them. She is using novel methods with a lot of interactions to discuss subjects that are delicate to deeptech startup founders : communication and fundraising. Our startups really valued her contribution to their projects and it definitely encourages Starburst to collaborate with Diane again in the future.

Très belle initiative du Conseil Supérieur du Notariat que de proposer aux notaires, une formation de prise de parole en public. L’exercice n’est pas facile mais Diane nous a permis, à travers un petit groupe de 5 confrères, de nous initier à la matière. Compétence, bonne humeur, sensibilité et pragmatisme sont ses qualités premières.
