Diana Kander: Keynote Speaker on Innovation, Curiosity & Growth | New York Times Bestselling Author | Entrepreneur | Innovation Consultant

Better Questions Create Better Results. What opportunities are your people missing because they've become too comfortable with the way things have always been done?

Diana helps organizations turn curiosity into a competitive advantage. Through entertaining case studies, interactive exercises and practical tools, she shows audiences how to uncover blind spots, challenge assumptions and ask the questions that lead to better ideas, stronger customer relationships and new opportunities for growth.

Why Book Diana Kander?

Diana's message starts with a deceptively simple idea: the more experienced we become, the easier it is to stop questioning what we think we already know.

She calls this the Expert Plateau—the point where expertise can begin creating blind spots that prevent people from learning, improving and recognizing new opportunities.

Diana helps audiences break through those blind spots by developing curiosity as a daily habit.

Rather than simply telling people to “think outside the box,” she gives them practical tools for asking better questions, challenging outdated assumptions and turning curiosity into measurable business results.

What Makes Diana Kander Different?

• New York Times bestselling author — her books are taught in more than 100 universities
• Serial entrepreneur — built and sold millions of dollars of products and services
• Innovation expert — has helped organizations develop multi-billion-dollar products
• Curiosity specialist — turns curiosity from an abstract concept into a practical business skill
• Highly interactive — uses exercises and case studies to keep audiences involved
• Immediately actionable — audiences leave with tools they can start using right away
• Sales relevant — applies curiosity directly to customer relationships and revenue growth
• Highly customized — adapts her content to the organization, industry and audience

Why Is Diana Right for Your Audience?

Diana is an outstanding choice when you want your audience to challenge the status quo, ask better questions and discover opportunities they may currently be overlooking.

She is particularly effective for leadership conferences, sales kickoffs, innovation summits, association meetings and organizations navigating change or pursuing growth.

Book Diana when your audience needs to:

• Challenge outdated assumptions
• Build a culture of curiosity
• Identify opportunities hidden in everyday problems
• Reduce the risk associated with new ideas
• Become more innovative without simply adding more work
• Understand customers more deeply
• Improve sales conversations
• Eliminate habits and processes that no longer create value

Audience Takeaways

Attendees will leave:

• Understanding how expertise can create dangerous blind spots
• Better equipped to ask questions that uncover new opportunities
• More willing to challenge “the way we've always done it”
• Able to identify unnecessary activities that should be eliminated
• Better prepared to test new ideas while reducing risk
• More curious about customers, colleagues and competitors
• Equipped with practical tools for driving innovation
• Ready to turn curiosity into action

Diana Kander Keynote Programs

Unleash Your Curiosity! What if the biggest barrier to innovation isn't a lack of ideas—but believing you already know the answer?

Diana shows audiences how experience can create an Expert Plateau, where people stop questioning familiar assumptions and become less open to better ways of working.

Drawing from her work on The Curiosity Muscle, Diana helps participants develop simple habits that make curiosity part of how they approach problems, decisions and opportunities.

Through entertaining case studies and interactive exercises, audiences discover how to uncover blind spots, reduce the risk of new ideas and prevent yesterday's success from limiting tomorrow's growth.

Ideal for: Leadership conferences, innovation events, corporate meetings and organizations focused on growth and transformation.

Innovate to Sell. What if your salespeople could win more business by becoming more curious—not more persuasive?

Diana applies her innovation principles directly to sales, helping teams rethink how they prioritize opportunities, understand customers and approach important conversations.

Drawing from Get Curious & Grow, she gives salespeople practical tools to eliminate distractions, uncover hidden customer needs and develop more innovative strategies for winning business.

Rather than another traditional sales presentation, Innovate to Sell helps salespeople rethink how they sell.

Ideal for: Sales kickoffs, national sales meetings, account-management teams and revenue organizations.

Customized Innovation Keynote. What innovation challenge does your organization need people to think differently about?

Diana can customize her innovation and curiosity content around the specific issues, opportunities and objectives facing an organization.

By connecting her frameworks directly to the audience's world, she helps participants see familiar challenges through a different lens—and identify opportunities they may have previously overlooked.

Ideal for: Executive meetings, industry conferences, transformation initiatives and organizations facing a specific innovation challenge.
