Her reporting has been honored with five Emmy Awards®, two Telly Awards®, and induction into the Radio/TV Broadcaster’s Hall of Fame.®

Using that research, she helps leaders assess and develop the influence skills needed to connect, convey and convince others in a rapidly changing world.

Dieken is also a best-selling author. Her two books, Talk Less, Say More and Become the Real Deal were both #1 best-sellers. Her upcoming book is Influencers: How the World’s Top Leaders Shape Positive Change.

A dynamic keynote speaker, Dieken delivers highly influential, stunningly interactive digital experiences at online conferences and corporate events from the Dieken Digital Studios. She looks forward to the day when in-person meetings and leadership retreats occur around the globe again!
