Diane gave a wonderful speech at IMA meeting, Pittsburgh chapter. She gave me my first networking class in my life. She taught us to put name tag on my right side, to start conversation from food, techniques to keep following up with people, and etc. Best take-home gifts ever. Her class will be very beneficial to those people who are shy or feel uncomfortable in public, but innerly want to connect with people.

What a delight it was to have Diane as Graduate Assistant for the Dale Carnegie Course! Energetic, prepared, excited, and enthusiastic are just some of the words to describe her zeal for this program and the amazing impact it has on people's lives. No wonder that the participants were drawn to her and asked her for coaching, guidance, and help. With Grad Assistants like Diane, it makes the entire program that much more powerful and fun!

Recently Diane presented a fantastic seminar to our current students to help them get started with their personal career message. With a gallery full of students, she and her partner Lisa, were able to hold the students attention for over an hour! Diane made the LInked-In process come alive to our students as she helped them create their own 'elevator' speech to a perspective employer. All the students felt the seminar was well prepared, executed and delivered with pertinent information for their job search! Hats off for a job well done!

Diane did a DISC presentation at an Institute of Management Chapter meeting that I attended. She was very professional and was knowledgeable about the topic. It was an introduction to the DiSC principles and concepts. I enjoyed the presentation very much and helped me understand my personality better as well as some of my colleagues. I would recommend her for this type of training.
