The mistakes, the lessons, and the ultimate growth - it's a great conversation filled with practical insights.
At Babco, her Cleaning Company, Diana has instilled a sense of unity through something as simple as uniforms with logos. It's not just about looking professional; it's about making clients feel like part of their team.
