Meet Diane Darling
“Most people get networking wrong — not because they’re bad at it, but because no one ever taught them how.” - Diane Darling
That’s the insight Diane Darling brings to every stage she steps on. A keynote speaker and author of The Networking Survival Guide, Diane helps professionals master the art of connection — in meetings, at conferences, and beyond.
Her philosophy?
Networking is nurturing relationships before you need them, and the transference of trust.
With humor, real-world strategies, and decades of experience, Diane transforms awkward small talk into real conversations. Attendees leave energized, more connected — and your event becomes the one they can’t stop talking about.
