What can you expect when you work with a speaking coach? What are the outcomes and results you get?

In last week’s episode, we talked about what a public speaking coach does and when you need one.

In this episode, I talk with one of our Thought Leader Academy grads, Dianna Deeney, on why she decided to invest in a speaking coach, including:

• What attracted her to thought leadership for her business
• Why public speaking wasn’t on her radar until after she joined our program
• The tangible results she’s seen so far, both personally and professionally
• What surprised her about adding storytelling and performance aspects to her presentations

About My Guest: Dianna Deeney is the host of the Quality during Design Podcast and is the founder of Quality during Design. She coaches product development engineers about awareness and use of quality and reliability methods during the design development process. She is an engineer, a senior quality professional, and an active member of ASQ holding certificates as a CQE, CRE, CQA, and CMQ/OE. Dianna believes that design engineers do not need to become quality or reliability engineers to use those methods and benefit from quality thinking. She has seen that using quality as a strategic asset during concept and design development improves the design and the design process and helps design engineers to be recognized as star performers. Her mission is to bridge product managers and designers (entry-level to seasoned) to the world's quality initiatives and quality-minded people
