Communication is the theme in my conversation with Diana Silva Franco, and it is her quest to teach others how to communicate and inspire. She is a restless soul born in Venezuela during a time when it was a vibrant, energetic country. She was enticed to move to Argentina and today has landed in Spain.
From her early years, she was a natural communicator learning to speak before she was a year old. Her mother was a doctor, and her Father was a filmmaker. She grew up surrounded by media and developed a passion for writing and exploring. College led her to journalism, a path that was made for her.
One of her lecturers said she would be a cult leader, a politician or a persuasive communicator.
While at college, she discovered how easy it was to do the work when you loved it. Straight out of education, she went into a newsroom, writing and producing.

She lasted three before she burnt out at the age of 26; Journalism and news media had become an addiction for her she could never go back. The recovery is a small part of our story, and what is more important is the rebuilding that followed.
What followed an adventure into the corporate world, working with an ambassador creating events and getting mugged ten times in ten months.
Venezuela was not the vibrant and safe country she was born into.
But the universe had plans; four days into a three-month sabbatical in Argentina, An email from Disney International appeared on her phone. “ We have seen your CV; it would be good to chat.”
