Diana's career began in education. She studied special education at Universidad de las Américas and completed a teacher education program at the University of California, San Diego, then spent years designing e-learning and distance education programs, including six years in business development for Edusoft Systems. That grounding in how people learn led her into coaching. She went on to found Coaching con Visión, a remote leadership program for middle managers delivered by certified coaches with visual disabilities, and to become a founding partner of Possibilia, a transformation consultancy. She also leads human capital consulting as a managing partner at RSM México and coaches executives through BetterUp and The Granger Network.

Her book, Generando una nueva visión para el futuro (Generating a New Vision for the Future), draws on Fernando Flores, Carl Jung, and Viktor Frankl to help readers question the stories that limit them and take responsibility for choosing new ones. It reflects the belief behind her EdgeQuest work: leaders make better decisions once they can see the patterns and assumptions shaping them.
