Diana De Cotiis

Entrepreneur, Coach and Facilitator

Bio

In a world that is becoming more and more disconnected and distracted, I people together and facilitate presence and connection.With over 8 years of facilitation experience including hundreds of workshops, meetings and training sessions, I’ve also built my craft coaching individuals, teams and organizations for over 5 years.I'm a coach and facilitator by day - I'm also an artist, avid reader, gym-goer, cyclist and mom to a hilarious 5-year-old.

1000+ facilitation participants

What I've learned after facilitating hundreds of workshops, with thousands of people (overall):
It all comes down to being human. Bringing authenticity to the room is a game-changer. Every. Time.

Agile Victoria Meetup Workshop

I had such a blast speaking the Agile Victoria meetup in April 2025. It is inspiring to hear about everyone’s facilitation experiences. No two are alike, and the best thing you can do is be yourself, and facilitate authentically.
