Diana Drury is QSB’s new Director, Coaching Group, MBA Programs

In January, Diana Drury, BA/BPHE’83, BEd’84, was appointed Director, Coaching Group, MBA Programs, responsible for Team Performance, Personal Coaching and the Fit to Lead programs. She is no stranger to QSB, having been a part-time Team Coach in the MBA programs since 2004. Team-based learning is a pivotal part of the MBA experience and is facilitated by Team Coaches who provide coaching on best practices, overcoming barriers and resolving conflicts, all to support the development of high-performance teams. Personal Coaches provide similar services to individuals on a one-to-one, confidential basis. The Fit to Lead program that Diana manages encourages students to lead a healthy, balanced and active lifestyle to help prepare them for the rigours of business leadership.

Prior to joining QSB, Diana worked at St. Lawrence College in Kingston for 25 years in a number of roles, including Student Life Counsellor and Athletic Director. She is a celebrated local athlete, coach and builder in her own right, having been named to six athletic Halls of Fame, including Queen’s Golden Gaels Coaches Wall of Fame. She competes internationally in softball and will be travelling to Turin, Italy, with her Canadian team-mates to defend their gold medal in women’s fastball at the World Masters Games next summer.
