Meet Diana — Your guide to transformative leadership

When it comes to educational leadership coaching, I’m here to help you develop, grow, and become an expert in your field. In a competitive, ever-changing environment, I want you to know that there’s no need to struggle alone. By unlocking your leadership potential, you can lead your school community with insight, resilience, and courage.

My leadership background

After a decade as a deputy head, I took on the role of headteacher in a secondary school in inner London. At first, I was confident, ready to take on the world with a big smile. But only a few months in, I began facing challenges both at work and home that tested every ounce of my strength.

Now, years later, I mentor senior colleagues as a qualified leadership coach, helping them navigate their own leadership journeys. I have written 4 books on leadership and built a coaching practice that creates confident, resilient school leaders. With over 20 years of senior leadership experience, I’m here to help headteachers achieve their full potential.

It was a pleasure hosting you at KTJ. The feedback from staff was overwhelmingly positive. You helped focus the SLT on key issues and goals, setting the tone for the day. Your sessions sparked ongoing discussions even after you left.

The Middle Leaders appreciated your leadership insights and practical approaches, which will have a lasting impact.

Your keynote provided a great moment of reflection for staff, and the feedback was very positive.

What stood out was your use of real-life examples. Your experience made staff trust your insights, and your training was highly practical.

Dr Glenn Moodie

“We invited Diana as a Keynote Speaker to launch our school year and our new strategic theme of “Reflect, refresh and move forwards.”

Despite it being in the early hours of the morning for Diana when she zoomed into our packed auditorium, she certainly managed to grab the attention of a diverse audience. The staff were incredibly engaged, energised and motivated by her passionate speech. We will definitely be looking for more opportunities to work with Diana again!”

Martin Breen

Diana spent a day with us and it was truly transformational for our middle and senior leaders. Diana is a powerful speaker with years of practical examples to back it up. She has a captivating narrative style, which draws the audience in. Her key messages are delivered with humour, grace and at times brutal honesty,

which our team really appreciated. Diana is authentic to the core and walks the talk.

She was careful to leave plenty of time for Q & A and made herself available between sessions to chat to our staff. I would highly recommend Diana to any school hoping to inspire and empower their leaders.

Cindy Adair

Diana is one of the finest school improvement leaders I’ve worked with. As Head of Standards, she supported all seven Headteachers in the Challenger Multi Academy Trust, earning high praise for her expertise, coaching, integrity, and professionalism.

Thanks to Diana’s contribution, two schools rapidly moved from ‘inadequate’ to ‘Good’ in their first inspections. Diana is a respected leadership coach, speaker, and author.

Her recent work with middle leaders and headteachers at the Active Learning Trust has been exemplary. We look forward to continuing our collaboration on leadership and governance across all 21 of our schools. Diana is a rare, emotionally intelligent leader who inspires, motivates, and challenges leaders at all levels, while addressing the challenges and fears they face.

She is a legend!

Steven Chamberlain

“They broke the mould when they created Diana Osagie.” I first met Diana during my NPQH, where her keynote on Courageous Leadership immediately resonated with me. Over the years, we’ve worked together on empowering educators from under-represented groups, and I invited her to speak at #DiverseEd 3, where she inspired 200 delegates to lead authentically and with values.

Diana has become a mentor and critical friend as I transition to independent work. She’s a brilliant role model for all leaders, especially those willing to disrupt and lead boldly. I highly recommend her as a speaker, writer, and trainer — I’ve learned so much from her and admire her tenacious attitude.
