World Creativity & Innovation Day
As a panel member at Bayes Busines School’s WCID symposium, I spoke about the role of creativity and courage in social innovation. My remarks spotlighted wins from experience facilitating hackathon teams, with examples that demonstrated the power of divergent thinking. Saying yes to even the wildest ideas can uncover hidden gems!
”Incisive, clear, and motivating as ever!”
Dr. Sara Jones, Institute Director
GlobalWIIN Awards, London
Two years running, I have complemented my Innovation Awards Judge role with a workshop on public speaking for the delegates of this international conference in London. Through informative content and interactive exercises (with a bit of humour too), I have equipped more than 100 innovators to pitch their work to funders.
“Practical. Empowering. She has a genuine gift.”

“It was an easy decision to invite Diana to facilitate the podcast-style interview at an event I was organising. I had seen her in action in a similar role and knew we were in safe hands. Her ability to really listen, combined with her skill in seamlessly linking themes and concepts, makes her a pleasure to watch. She is very skilled at engaging both the audience and those she is interviewing and comes with amazing poise.”

The response was so positive that we keep inviting her back by popular demand. Any organisation looking for a speaker who creates real change through powerful communication would be fortunate to work with Diana Squires."

"After hearing her speak at several events, I would entrust Diana to facilitate or host any event where you seek to captivate an audience. A natural, dynamic communicator, she oozes passion, with authority and approachability. She's intelligent, knowledgeable and fun which is really all you want and need. Truly, her presence is power.
