More than 20 years ago, Diane founded Fulcrum Network, a boutique firm that helps Learning and Development and Human Resource professionals find the right programs and resources for training, organization development and executive coaching projects.

Fulcrum Network now provides blended online programs, design and delivery of custom learning solutions and a state-of-the art digital platform that integrates innovative approaches for employee learning and development. Program outcomes include increased employee retention, engagement and performance to achieve strategic business results.

Over the past few years, Diane has developed a blended online learning methodology used in Fulcrum's Learning portal by her clients and consultant network. Diane's experience as a talent alignment consultant led her to create her own unique consulting model and program called CAREER essentialsSM. Delivered to corporations using Fulcrum's innovative blended online approach and platform, the program helps early career top talent, emerging leaders and individual contributors discover what they do best, aligning their talents with business goals to increase employee engagement and retention.

Diane and her team of consultants partner to provide blended online programs for leaders and teams on Fulcrum's state-of-the art learning platform spanning the employee life cycle from onboarding to new manager training, leadership development and career transition as employees exit your organization.

Prior to founding Fulcrum Network, for more ten years, Diane was a corporate leader and training specialist with expertise in customer service, experiential learning, as well as career and leadership development. She earned a Master of Science degree in Organization Development from Loyola University and Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Science from National Louis University.
