Violinist Diane Allen is an international speaker, thought leader, and best-selling author of Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do. She helps leaders and teams activate their flow state, enabling them to navigate disruption, combat burnout, and create thriving cultures where purpose and passion drive peak performance. Her journey into the transformative power of flow began as a young violinist. Feeling bullet-proof with her New York City violin training, she’d show up to auditions with visions of winning the job of her dreams, but fear would get the better part of her. After ten years of experimentation, Diane made a breakthrough. By focusing deeply on her musical interpretation, she activated the flow state, an optimal state of mind where fear dissolves, and performance soars beyond one’s imagination. It only took one fearless audition for Diane to become a 15-year Concertmaster (lead violinist) of the Central Oregon Symphony, a beloved violin teacher for 28 years, and author of the Fingerboard Workbook series for violin, viola, cello and bass. It was her groundbreaking Flow Strategy™ system that earned her a spot on the TEDxNaperville stage with features on TED, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. With the elegance of drawing the bow across her Copper Dragon violin, Diane’s experiential programs blend live musical performance, scientific principles, storytelling, positive psychology, inspiration, and actionable takeaways, empowering people to activate their flow state, be in their genius, and love what they do.
I am writing to provide a professional reference for Diane Allen. In my experience as the volunteer Director of Education Content for the Meetings Professional International Association, Chicago Chapter (MPI-CAC), our committee has had the pleasure of working with many of the hospitality industry’s brightest minds. Diane Allen ranks among the best speakers the chapter has had the opportunity to encounter. Diane recently spoke at the chapter's Signature Luncheon, one of our largest hosted events of the year. We were drawn to her by her unique take on peak performance using the concept of Flow and her ideas around audience engagement. Diane was a consummate professional, very easy to work with and always focused on providing additional value. Our audience was riveted. Someone remarked they’d never seen them more attentive, which is testament to the relevance of her content and Diane’s expertise. Thank you, Bunny R. Lee Volunteer Director Education Content Committee MPI-CAC "Not only was Diane easy to work with, Diane impressed us with a terrific presentation full of insight, as well as some beautiful music that truly set her session in a different league. I have worked on the planning side of many conferences and events, and it is rare to have such a blend of actionable content with beautiful performance. I am happy to confirm that our attendees were truly impressed and inspired." Robbie Heacock, Associate Director/Event Planner, Stringfellow Management Group
