“I am forever grateful to Diane! I found Diane after my manager told me my use of “umm” is distracting when I give presentations. I’d tried to correct this on my own but had no luck. After just 5 sessions with Diane, I not only dramatically reduced the number of filler-words I used, but I also learned to get to the point much quicker. Diane is effective, honest and easy to build trust with. My new skills have helped my credibility and empower me to deliver my messages with more confidence.”

“I would highly recommend Diane for any person looking to improve their presentation skills or to any company looking to increase the presentation skills of their staff. Her approach is very much rooted in common sense, combined with great intuition, as to the best ways to influence. She will help you improve so you have a better chance of success!”

"Diane was truly a lifesaver for me! With only one week before my scheduled workshop facilitation, Diane helped me refine the agenda, structure my talking points, prepare for the unexpected and focus my energy on positive outcomes.
Ultimately, I felt very prepared for the workshop and the “what ifs” Diane urged me to consider. “What if this happens, is different than you thought, etc…how will you handle it?” One of the blessings of working with Diane is that you equally prepared for what you have planned and the unexpected.”

“When I first began working with Diane, I was apprehensive, fearful and quite nervous about the thought of public speaking; a necessary next step for my business. During our sessions together, Diane taught me, thru role playing and brilliant strategy and tips, how to be a confident, fluid speaker. I attribute all my speaking success to Diane Windingland!”

“Diane is a must-hire consultant and teacher in the speaking world. My audiences had always loved my talks, but I had no idea how much more there was to learn about speaking and storytelling fundamentals!”
Nick Rosener

“Diane delivered an outstanding workshop titled “Speak with Confidence & Credibility and Speech Zero to Hero. Participants received training, practice and tools to immediately start speaking in a manner that listeners will want to hear what they have to say. I recommend this workshop for everyone who speaks in a meeting at any level, by definition this is speaking in public. Which means all of us. This training helps the person who does formal public speaking ( Lone speaker in from of a group) as well as those who speak in public informally (speaking in meetings, hallways and cubicles). Diane’s presentation style is very engaging and quickly draws each participant into the workshop. Participants walk away with confidence to speak in any situation. Tremendous Workshop!!“

“Diane is one of the best communicators of our time. She presented to our employees and shared specific tips and insight to becoming a better speaker and presenter. Her presentation was engaging, informative, fascinating and entertaining. We all took very specific tidbits from it. Highly recommend working with Diane!!”

“I had the pleasure of facilitating a webinar for Twin Cities SHRM where Diane was the presenter. She was fantastic! The participants were engaged during the webinar and had shared comments throughout. I know I came away with ways to be more confident and credible in my presentations – I’m sure others did too.”
