Connie Dieken

Connie Dieken advises C-suite leaders and boards on the moments that matter most. Boardrooms. Investors. Media. Organizational change. Her focus is influence. Not volume. Not polish. The ability to move people to act, with integrity. Connie is the founder of The Influence Lab® and the creator of Connect • Convey • Convince®, the framework leaders use to earn buy-in when the stakes are high. Her research inside The Influence Lab® found that only 16% of leaders actually lead with influence. The rest default to persuasion, manipulation or domination. Her keynotes close that gap. Her newest keynote is The Influence Flip. Connie is a member of the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame (National Speakers Association) and the Radio-Television Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Global Gurus named her the #1 Executive Communication Coach, Thinkers50 named her a Top Global Leadership Coach, and she is a Marshall Goldsmith 100 Coach. Before she advised executives, she was a 5-time Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist. She is the bestselling author of Talk Less, Say More and Become the Real Deal (Wiley), and is writing Influence with Integrity in the Age of AI. Audiences leave with specific tools to carry into their next high-stakes conversation. She delivers in person and virtually from her broadcast-quality studio.
