When presenting the award, the judges commented on her ability to understand and provide for the language and culture of the organisation and noted the unconditional support of her referrees for her expertise. Diane received her award at a champagne breakfast hosted by HRINZ's Wellington Branch.

Conference Speaking Engagements in 2010
ANSIC
Diane Edwards had a number of public speaking engagement this year. First off the block was the ANZIC conference held in Melbourne at the end of April. ANZIC (the Australia and New Zealand Institute of Coaching) is the leading professional coaching association in Australiasia, providing support, supervision and professional development to members of the Coaching Community. Diane discussed what it takes to build a coaching culture within large organisations, and how it requires more than just teaching people how to coach. To find out more about the conference check out the ANZIC website.
HRINZ
Diane also spoke at the HRINZ 9 to 9 Conference in Auckland in May. Headlined by keynote speaker Dr Edward De Bono, the conference focussed on the human resource issues arising from the recession. Diane's session looked at the impact of the recession on the not-for-profit sector. To see other up and coming conferences hosted by HRINZ visit their website.
Then in October Diane teamed up with Claire Teal, Manager of Central City Citizens Advice Bureau to present at the HRINZ Wellington Branch Change Special Interest Group. They spoke about their experiences bringing change to a volunteer worksforce at both the national and local level.
NZATD
Also in May, Diane faciitated a well received session at the NZATD conference in Auckland. Combining her interest in learning and futurism Diane challenged people to project out 25 - 30 years to think about how current socoi-economic and political trends combined with knowledge of emerging scientific and technological developments might change the nature of learning and development. If you missed her session then, Diane has been asked to reprise it at the Wellington branch later ths year. Check out the NZATD website for details.
Later in the year Diane was asked to reprise her session at the Wellington Branch AGM, so that others could participate.
