About Diane

My one perfect thing is empowering you to sound as smart as you are. My greatest joy is helping you feel terrific about the process, and seeing your personal and professional success.

My Story…

I was a very shy kid. But I found dance lessons at age five. Which led to an early love of tutus and performing.

Have you ever looked back at seemingly random life choices and realize they all led to one perfect thing? My ah-hah moment came 20 years ago, when I put together my experiences…

Selling:

Media advertising sales, running a daily newspaper’s National Advertising department, developing and delivering pitches, connecting to prospects

Performing:

Acting and dancing, directing and choreographing, writing scripts, putting on shows, connecting to audiences

Teaching:

Masters in Education, instructing, mentoring, training, developing curriculum, connecting to students

…and created my own business.

My Approach…

Communications is practical and theatrical. Every time you present, it’s SALEStime and SHOWtime.

Practical: SALEStime

You are always selling something. From tangible products or services to intangibles like credibility and trust.

Theatrical: SHOWtime

You are always trying to capture an audience’s attention and make an impression. You talk and they listen; that’s a show.

The Bubbe…

Communicating like a pro in the workplace means adapting and taking on many different roles, as needed.

This concept is brought to life on stage by The Bubbe, a character I developed in my theatre work.

The Bubbe joins in my keynotes to tell her charming stories with a wisdom all her own. After you hear her unconventional humor, you will have a whole new appreciation for authenticity and vulnerability.
