'Diana was our lead instructor for two Generative AI workshops delivered to different corporate clients. She conducted 1.5-hour sessions on Generative AI, covering topics such as unlocking the power of Generative AI, exploring use cases and applications, and discussing strategic considerations. Diana demonstrated adaptability by tailoring her delivery style to suit the needs of different audiences. For instance, in a session with a small group of high-level executives, she successfully engaged everyone in the discussion, whereas in a larger group setting, she increased engagement through chat, highlighting interesting responses to keep everyone engaged. Additionally, Diana was proactive in helping us refine our program content as she worked closely with us to make improvements and asked insightful questions about the clients' needs to ensure an excellent workshop experience. She was also receptive to feedback and willing to make adjustments to accommodate changing requirements. Overall, Diana proved to be an excellent thought partner, a pleasure to collaborate with and highly accountable and reliable. Her facilitation skills, ability to engage diverse audiences, and commitment to delivering high-quality content were particularly successful aspects of the workshops we hosted with her.'
