MEET YOUR COACH

I'm Diana Kautzky,

and here's the journey that got me here.

Before I was leading workshops and guiding CEOs, I was interpreting ASL at rock concerts, creating a trivia game that sold worldwide, giving a TEDx talk, and managing multiple businesses.

My story begins in a bilingual household, where I was a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) with American Sign Language as my first language. As you can imagine, my life was all about communication.

That lens shaped my life.

As I grew, it didn't take long for me to notice, the world often missed the beauty in being different. This led me to launch and scale businesses rooted in Deaf services—advocacy, interpreting, and creating spaces where people felt fully seen and heard.

Eventually, I became a Juilliard-trained interpreter, interpreting more than 200 live performances,  from Broadway musicals to Aerosmith and Dave Matthews concerts. But my real training came from decades of helping people communicate across differences.

And that's where the connection clicked.

I’ve come to understand that Deaf culture and business culture have more in common than you’d think. Both rely on unspoken and spoken dynamics. Both require trust, clarity, and shared understanding. And both fall apart when communication breaks down.

What I did in Deaf spaces—facilitating connection,

uncovering nuance, assuring communication access and exchange, and making sure people felt understood—I now do inside businesses.

That’s what led me to create culturebuild: a business growth consulting company built to help founders, executives, and teams cultivate cultures that actually work, both from the inside and from the outside. I’m here to be the interpreter between what’s happening and what’s possible.

I’m an Enneagram 7, a high “i” on the DISC, and a lifelong optimist who believes joy and structure can live in the same space. If you need someone to bring positivity and no-nonsense energy, you’ve found her.

Whether I’m consulting with a solopreneur, training a growing team, or speaking at a national event, my goal is to help you build a Heart Smart culture that drives growth across every part of your business!

Better Culture = Better Business

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MAKE Strong BUSINESS Possible:

Strategic Growth

When your team is working from the same playbook, every step forward has clarity and the guesswork disappears.

Positivity Shift

It will feel different when your team shows up not out of obligation, but with ownership and heart.

Better Communication

When all team members can be heard, communication becomes less about correcting and more about connecting.

Connected Teams

When people feel respected and challenged, you don't have to push them. Great work happens naturally.
