Diane Emery

Diane T. Emery is the heart and vision behind The Whisker’s Workspace—a cat-friendly co-working lounge created to inspire, soothe, and uplift. A seasoned entrepreneur and community builder, Diane founded Executive Reporting Service (ERS), an award-winning court reporting firm recognized among the Top 100 Women-Owned Businesses in Tampa Bay. For over 35 years, ERS has thrived on excellence, meticulous attention to detail, and a people-first ethos, earning acclaim through client loyalty and word-of-mouth referrals.

Diane’s passion extends beyond business. As a certified Transformational Leadership Consultant, she has facilitated the growth and empowerment of over 10,000 individuals through seminars and workshops that blend deep listening with compassionate coaching. Her unique ability to connect, inspire, and help others realize their full potential makes her a trusted advisor and catalyst for lasting change.

Her dedication to service is evident in her active roles on the boards of three nonprofit organizations—including CJPaws, where she champions cat rescue and adoption efforts. Balancing leadership with heartfelt mission, Diane is a guiding force at The Whisker’s Workspace, creating a community where professionals can thrive alongside feline friends in a serene, inspiring setting.

“The world exists in our dialogues and perceptions,” Diane shares. “At every moment, we are given the power of choice—to shape reality through what we speak and how we listen.” At Whisker’s Workspace, that philosophy becomes a lived experience: calm, creative, and community-driven.
