About the Presenter:
Twenty five years ago, Diane Smith became certified as a teacher of English, Speech and Drama.  She has directed, taught and coached at the high school, college and adult levels in hundreds of situations in several states.

Sometime later, she also became credentialed as an attorney and was heard presenting powerful arguments in the highest levels of courts in three states.  She has attended graduate classes, seminars and workshops in psychology, linguistics and business management.  

Throughout her varied careers, whether it was to an audience of Girl Scouts or to a young attorney who wanted a mentor, Diane, a passionate public speaker, has shared the lessons she learned.  Colleagues began to urge that she share with a broader audience and "take her act on the road."  She sometimes wonders if they just wanted her gone.  She asks that after you experience her unique brand of wit and humor, to please be sure to let her know which way you think they meant it.
