About
Dianne Walker, LLC dba Take Flight Academy
I am passionate in my quest to provide custom business solutions such as business consulting, small business coaching, healthy business check-up, business plan workshops, organizational gap analysis, website development, financial projections, planning and analysis, and strategic planning and other support services that cater to the needs of your organization.
My training and experience have provided me with an understanding how businesses can operate to achieve a successful model. As a former Director of Operations at a large hub airport, we initiated a strategic plan within the airport, which required partnerships with internal and external stakeholders to implement. As a result of our holistic approach, the airport received national recognition from the federal government, the coveted “Safety Award” for our facility, becoming a “model” to other airports in the industry.
“I started this business in May 2016 and did not have a full understanding of what this endeavor involved. My previous job entailed managing teams of people and facilitating best practices to implement the company’s mission and vision.
My goal is to improve business success, preventing them from making the same mistakes or missteps that I made while starting my consulting business.”
