“Don’t mind me, I’m a hugger!”

^ One of the very first things today’s #FollowFriday said to me the first time I met her.

And it was true. She embraced me with a warm and welcoming hug that day and every time I saw her from then on. Because that’s how much love and warmth she has to share.

Today’s feature is my friend and former colleague Diana Lauritson, MBA, M.S.

Currently, Diana is Senior Business Development Manager at Hogan Lovells. In a past life, she and I worked together @ Ballard Spahr, where she was one of two regional business development managers (with responsibility for 7 offices and LOTS of travel!!)

Diana is curious, strategic, engaging, and outgoing. She thinks through issues to the fullest extent possible and is always in search of the best possible result.

As with many of my Ballard colleagues, I feel like I’ve had the lucky opportunity to get to know her better since moving on to our next roles. When I recently saw her at the LMA International Conference in Las Vegas, it was like no time had passed since our last interaction and she enveloped me in one of her trademark hugs.

It was fabulous.

I love how Diana wears her heart on her sleeve; how she lives in every corner of what is possible; and how she brings a vibrancy to every interaction so few people are able to achieve.

So, my friends, meet today’s #FollowFriday, Diana Lauritson. She’s a woman with incomparable energy!!
