Diane's Bio
To overcome her fear of public speaking, Diane Darling took acting and stand-up comedy classes. That out-of-the-box and strategic mindset have been a contributing factor to her success. She was even the commencement speaker at MIT Charm School, (yes, there is such a thing). McGraw-Hill commissioned her to write the definitive book on networking called The Networking Survival Guide, which was published in April 2003 and went into a 2nd printing just 90 days after the book hit the shelves. Her books are collectively in 9 languages. She was the 15,418th subscriber on LinkedIn – now there are 1 billion. Her travels include all seven continents and approximately 60 countries.
