About the author:

Diana is a social entrepreneur on a mission to provide women with the wherewithal to successfully navigate workplace inequalities and secure the roles, recognition, support and rewards they merit. Her catalyst... for writing the book was a second experience of not securing the board role, for which she had a unique and exemplary track record within the organisation, which instead went to a white male peer with no experience. Her determination to find the answers led to a pioneering research programme, a psychology degree, and establishing The Women’s Sat Nav to Success Ltd - a business dedicated to changing career experiences and outcomes for women. While dyslexia means that writing would normally be Diana’s last choice of communications options, 'Understand: Dare: Thrive. How to have your best career, from today' has always been central to her mission. It ensures that as many women as possible can benefit from her empowering findings, as the most affordable and accessible route to this often life-changing support. Diana is a single mum who now lives by the sea, having moved from London to Bournemouth to bring up her daughter. Read more
