Di, thank you for putting so much thought and energy into everything you do. Since we first met in your current role, I have been fortunate to learn about your career and personal journeys, so inter-twined as they always are. There have been some amazing achievements with your passion for the industry, care for colleagues and the community you engage with, and commitment to continual growth that really stand out.

The Commonwealth Bank has been delighted for you to become involved with our Women in Focus events where you have provided rich content and a warm embrace to everyone. You have deep experience,, insight, and a capacity to share, which is most valued and appreciated.

As your journey continues to evolve, I wish you well.

Testimonials

What a legend .. I love Di’s no-nonsense approach to work and life.

Saying yes to opportunities and being adaptable were the key take-outs for me.

Also drawing on the “let them” approach is a good reminder. 🙂

- Carol Sheahan

So many great lessons in Di’s words of wisdom. In addition to the 45 second rule, here were a few other favorite take aways:

• Dealing with Imposter syndrome – address fear through action
• Improve by 2% each week – work towards your goal
• Believe in you – confidence will get you so far, but need to believe in yourself first ie: remove self-doubt

- Tiffany Sutton

It was inspirational listening to Di talk about her journey & is definitely someone to look up to.

I loved her authenticity and vulnerability opening up about her life and challenges she has faced in her path through leadership.

- Rachelle Guillard

Di has a practical approach to work and issues that is refreshing and helps build strong relationships between stakeholders.

Resolving complex situations was easier when working direct with Di

Thanks

I’ve had the pleasure of working both alongside and with Di since the opening of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital.

Di is collaborative, open and honest- she displays thoughtful and effective leadership of both her teams but just as importantly, those adjacent, outwards and upwards.

No ego, no games, just focused on positive outcomes for patients, the community and the environment.
