She delights in helping contributors to grow their skill sets and thrive in a fiercely complex marketplace.

She is responsible for contributing to the management of all organizational operations including strategic planning, board of director work, finances, marketing, speaking engagements, publishing efforts and the advancement of a substantial not-for-profit agenda.   Executive Administrator: Diana Hansen Diana is so essential to the day-to-day operations at ConantLeadership that she has earned the alternate job titles of “Chief Logistical Officer,” “Right-Hand-Woman,” and “Planning Goddess,” depending on the scheduling, business, and administrative challenges of the day.
