Have you ever had a tragedy change the trajectory
of your life? That is exactly what happened in

challenge and excitement for her. As she and her
siblings were packing up their father’s belongings,
they began discussing where they were in their
lives and what they would prefer to be doing. A
great deal of soul searching ensued.
Diane realized that her current job situation didn’t

as Director of Operations for the area for that
company. The 27-years of experience and training
she received working in management, leadership
and sales with the large corporation, plus a college
