Diana Oakes Communications

Social channels

Overview

Change doesn't start in a project meeting. Change starts the moment you communicate it. Whether that change succeeds or falls flat on its face, it all depends on how well it's communicated.

Diana Oakes Communication was set up in February 2024 by Diana Oakes, a highly experienced and praised former Lloyds Banking Group Communications Lead and journalist, who specialises in change and leadership communication, strategy and planning, culture and engagement, and Inclusion & Diversity (especially Disability).

With over 25 years' experience, Diana shares her vast knowledge and expertise in a refreshingly honest, down-to-earth style, with a surprising ability to flex from the light-hearted to the formal. Diana's previous clients include the IoIC and various medium and large size financial institutions, as well as local NHS authorities and patient involvement bodies and charities.

Diana has a rich record of mentoring others, with a large proportion of her mentees, at various levels of seniority, crediting Diana for at least part of their success.
