Professional Bio
Didi Summers has been passionate about working in the areas of business strategies, personal growth, and child development over the past 20 years. Along with other distinguished colleagues at the Hilton Head Institute, Didi led the team developing a new method to examine and rethink problems in order to create new and better solutions. The Hilton Head Method was used to address complex issues such as the effects of poverty in education and access to healthcare. As a result of working with families and children, she developed the Kinnectix Theory and Personality Diagnostic Tool after becoming certified and working with Myers Briggs (MBTI®) and DiSC® and finding the results did not always accurately describe the individual and/or did not always help find positive outcomes. At times, the results ended up labelling the individual or confirming previously held beliefs that did not take into account their own motivations or particular circumstances. The Kinnectix Theory and Personality Diagnostic Tool were developed to answer these questions and ensure each client was best served by understanding their own individual characteristics and motivations, and also by identifying their own personally held beliefs, values and circumstances. Didi started her career as a New York corporate lawyer before moving to Geneva, Switzerland and London, UK. While raising a family of three children, she founded a music production and artist development business and consulted in child playground developments, among others. After moving to Hilton Head, SC in 2006, she has served on the boards of The Hilton Head Institute, Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, a non-profit foundation assisting rural school development in South Africa, and was the founder of a non-profit therapeutic riding center on serving special needs children and adults. Didi received her law degree from Fordham University Law School in New York City and a Bachelor of Music from California State University, Fullerton.
