Diane Allen is an International Flow State Expert, Keynote Speaker, Thought Leader, and Bestselling Author of Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do. She helps leaders and teams activate their flow state so they can be at the top of their talent and create thriving cultures where purpose and passion drive peak performance.
Diane’s journey into the transformative power of flow began as a young violinist. Despite her rigorous New York City training, she would arrive at auditions feeling prepared yet find herself paralyzed by fear when it mattered most. After ten years of experimentation and breakthrough moments, Diane discovered that by focusing deeply on her musical interpretation, she could activate the flow state—an optimal state of mind where fear dissolves and performance soars beyond imagination.
This revelation transformed her career. Following one fearless audition, Diane became the 15-year Concertmaster (lead violinist) of the Central Oregon Symphony. She has also been a beloved violin teacher for 28 years and is the author of the acclaimed Fingerboard Workbook series for violin, viola, cello, and bass.
Through her unique approach, Diane Allen transforms how leaders and teams perform under pressure, helping them create environments where excellence becomes effortless and passion fuels peak performance.
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 experiences 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.
Diane’s insights into achieving peak performance and engagement are highly relevant to our industry, particularly as we navigate rapid technological advancements, strategic decision-making, and leadership development. I would highly recommend Diane as a speaker for any organization. Her expertise and engaging presentation style would undoubtedly inspire and equip your attendees with practical strategies to excel in their roles.
