CEO & Founder Sarena Diamond on Business Growth, Reinvention & The Power of And

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Sarena Diamond, CEO and Founder of Diamond Solutions Group, a unique consultancy helping business leaders turn their visions into reality and transform “what if?” questions into “way to go!” celebrations.

After 30 years climbing the corporate ladder and achieving success by traditional standards, Sarena experienced both professional accomplishments and personal challenges that helped reshape her understanding of what success could mean. She ultimately launched Diamond Solutions Group, a venture built around helping other leaders discover their own paths to meaningful, sustainable success.

A key part of Sarena's approach is “The Power of And” — a way of thinking that encourages leaders to move beyond either-or choices, embrace new possibilities, and build a future that reflects more of what matters to them. What began with a simple “What if?” has grown into an expanding consultancy driven by vision, possibility, and a fresh perspective on leadership.

Based in New Jersey, Sarena joins Joe Dimino for a thoughtful conversation about entrepreneurship, reinvention, leadership, resilience, and the courage to define success for yourself. We explore how experience can spark transformation, why asking better questions can open new doors, and how business leaders can turn ambitious ideas into meaningful results.

In this episode, we explore:

• Sarena Diamond's journey from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship

• The story behind Diamond Solutions Group

• Helping business leaders bring their visions to life

• The Power of And and the possibilities beyond either-or thinking

• Turning “What if?” into action and achievement

• Redefining success on your own terms
