CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
"Diane definitely doesn't fit the mold of a typical consultant. I consider her to be a valuable partner. I have come to this view after partnering with Ellis Locke & Associates for many years and in 3 different organizations. They have supported us with selection assessments for senior level roles. The CEO was so impressed with the results of these assessments that he requested developmental assessments be conducted for our Senior Leadership Team... I would highly recommend the services of Ellis Locke and Associates."
Anna Petosa
VP - People & Culture

"I have worked with Diane both as a consultant and a coach. From a coaching perspective Diane has a natural ability to draw out ideas or strategies from within yourself that you had not even contemplated. She is patient and picks up cues from responses that leads to a deepening of the work. Diane helps you get to a strategy that you created and always checks back in to make sure you have followed through. I would highly recommend Diane as a coach. You will not be disappointed."
