Customized Content

Understanding the unique needs of each corporate event as a leadership keynote speaker, Diana dedicates time to tailor her content. Through pre-keynote discussions with attendees, she crafts presentations that resonate deeply with the audience’s industry and organizational culture. Ann Dieleman, Executive Board Member at PIMA, highlights Diana's ability to connect with her audience, making her sessions stand out among the crowd at conferences.

Diana takes the time to get to know each client by holding pre-keynote calls with selected attendees. This allows her to pick out the most appropriate case studies, reference industry examples, and most importantly, sound like she's been in your organization for years.

“We hired Diana to speak at a PIMA conference. Not only did she take time to understand the audience before her presentation, she also actively interacted with them during the conference. As we received conference survey results back from attendees, many of them wrote the most valuable session at the conference was simply 'Diana'.”

Incredible Case Studies

Diana's commitment to constantly refreshing her content ensures that her presentations as a motivational speaker for corporate events remain fresh and engaging. She brings new, humorous, and insightful stories to every event, as noted by Tim Speno, President and CEO of E2E Summit. Her approach keeps her content at the forefront of innovation, making her a repeat favorite at corporate events. 

Diana challenges herself to constantly find new content. After every speech she picks out a popular case study or interactive element and prevents herself from using it again for 4 months. This process forces her to improve even the strongest parts.

“I have been a student of innovation for 20 years, and every single time I hear her speak, she brings some new stories that we have never heard before. Her examples are so funny and interesting and drive her points home. I've hired Diana to speak on several occasions and she is always the highlight of the conference.”

Diana doesn't just think about how to create an entertaining presentation. That's table stakes for today's keynote speaker. She is focused on delivering content and tools that are still making an impact at least a year after the audience has heard her speak.

“Eight years after Diana's presentation, associates who attended her workshop are still using her terminology to identify and solve customer problems. It has become part of our DNA, helping us prioritize difficult decisions we have to make on a daily basis. Diana is a little like a commercial jingle you can't get out of your head. Once you hear her talk, you won't forget the things she has taught you.”

KEYNOTE OPTION 1

Unleash Your Curiosity - Opening Keynote

Want an incredible opening leadership keynote speaker that makes participants more engaged in each and every session? Then teach them how to harness their curiosity!

Based on her book, The Curiosity Muscle, Diana's high-energy keynote shows us how we can level up the simple questions we ask ourselves on a daily basis to get significantly better results and drive innovation. That includes the questions attendees are reflecting on throughout your event!

As a motivational speaker for corporate events, Diana will help participants understand that the longer they've been doing something, the more likely it is that their expertise has also created some blindspots. Blindspots that could be huge opportunities for growth. She'll demonstrate how we struggle with additive bias, or looking to add more things to our plate to solve a problem, when taking something away would be the much more optimal solution.  And she'll help attendees understand how our natural desire to be right gets in the way of our learning and improvement.  

Through hilarious case studies and interactive exercises, Diana will leave your audience excited to learn and open to changing how they see the world.  

Key Takeaways:
          •       How to ‘institutionalize’ curiosity in your organization with simple daily habits
          •       How to dramatically reduce the ‘risk’ of new ideas and supercharge growth
          •       How to avoid allowing your past success to sabotage your future growth

Based on Diana's newest book, this talk will offer five concrete tools you can use to emotionally connect with prospects, customers, and employees, and help them remember and act on what you said!

And Diana won't just educate you about these principles. What fun would that be? She'll take you on an interactive roller coaster, carefully weaving in each practice into the talk itself! (Note: Due to the audience participation level of this presentation, it is exclusively available through an in-person format).
