What you need to know

Vision attracts talented people to your startup.

Trust keeps them and determines whether your business thrives or dies.

This interactive workshop gives founders and their team members a practical framework to navigate through conversations that either build or break trust. Learn to understand what truly motivates each of your people and master the trust language that drives real results.

What you get

  • In this two-hour interactive workshop, you'll gain a practical tool box to map your team strengths framework and Action Planner for crucial conversations that build trust in your organization.

  •  You'll learn to identify the TrustMaker behaviors that strengthen your team's commitment. Might be surprised by the TrustBreaker habits that silently destroy your innovative culture.

  •  And finally, you'll learn to identify what drives each person on your team to give their trust, and why the same approach doesn't work for everyone.

About Diana

For more than 20 years I’ve been helping organisations transform how they work with their people. My career has taken me from HR leadership in large corporates to teaching MBAs, working with start-ups, and now running my own consulting practice.

I focus on three things:
1. HR Strategy and Digital Transformations – guiding organisations through change, from digital HR systems to post-M&A integration and cultural alignment.
2. Executive & Team Coaching – supporting leaders to grow into their next role, strengthen relationships, and build teams that thrive under pressure.
3. Talent & Leadership Development – designing frameworks, programmes and strategies that create lasting pipelines of capable leaders.

Clients describe me as a sparring partner who brings clarity in complex situations, combines corporate know-how with start-up agility, and makes change practical rather than theoretical. Whether I’m advising a CxO team, building competency frameworks, or coaching first-time leaders, my goal is the same: to create workplaces people want to join and stay in.

This event is an Official Activity of the Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) 2025, an international movement dedicated to inspiring and connecting entrepreneurs.
