Diana Kander Biography
A New York Times best-selling author and innovation consultant, Diana Kander has spent her career challenging assumptions and asking big questions - what kind of culture needs to exist in an organization to ensure innovative ideas and practices? How has Snoop Dogg continued to innovate decade after decade to stay relevant to the next generation? What causes name brands to lose relevance with their customers and go out of business?
A serial entrepreneur who entered the United States as a refugee at the age of 8, Kander has launched and sold millions of dollars’ worth of products and services. Her first book, "All In Startup," has been used by over 100 universities in their innovation courses and countless large organizations to help their employees think more like entrepreneurs. Her second book, "The Curiosity Muscle" walks readers through a methodology to keep curiosity alive and thriving inside of an organization, ultimately, future-proofing the business.

Diana Kander Speaking Topics
In today’s ever-changing business climate, your attendees’ roles have evolved far past their job descriptions. They face a volatile external environment - they encounter pressure to stay relevant to customers - they experience challenging workforce issues - and they are being asked to do a lot more with a lot less. All of this is asking them to be innovators. The big question is, are they doing it the hard way or the easy way.
Based on Diana Kander's book, "The Curiosity Muscle," this keynote helps members of organizations who don't have innovation in their job description to embrace and identity as an innovator. Diana will share the key skills and habits that make innovation easier and a lot more fun. And she'll empower attendees to harness the power of curiosity to unlock new possibilities and drive business growth. Attendees will leave this keynote identifying as innovators and seeking opportunities to use their new skills.
ROI & Key Outcomes:
- How to institutionalize curiosity, asking better questions to stay competitive and relevant to your customers
- How to determine blind spots within your organization and avoid falling into the “expert trap"
- How to create a more innovative culture that leads to results and drives growth
Diana is an innovation nerd - she spent the first decade of her career as an entrepreneur, launching 10 companies in 10 years, while selling millions of dollars of products and services. She spent the next decade coaching innovators inside large organizations; at one point she served as the innovation coach for the executive team of a $100 million dollar project.
This high-energy keynote is designed to equip sales teams with the tools and mindset to drive results in today’s fast-changing marketplace. Using principles from Diana Kander’s book "Get Curious & Grow," this session will help your sales team:
Prioritize What Matters Most:
Master the 1-10 Filter to identify and focus on the most impactful sales opportunities while eliminating distractions. Learn to say "no" to what doesn’t drive results and "yes" to what truly matters.
Eliminate the Noise: Use the Kill the Zombies framework to hunt down and remove low-value activities, outdated processes, and unnecessary meetings that drain your energy and time.
Reimagine Your Approach: Tap into the power of the Blank Sheet Method to break free from traditional sales strategies and imagine new, innovative ways to connect with clients and close deals.
Learn from Successes: Discover how to use the Learn from the Wins habit to identify patterns in your successes, refine your strategies, and continually improve your sales performance.
Attendees will leave this session inspired and equipped with practical tools to innovate their approach, deepen client relationships, and exceed their sales targets.
