  • Winner of multiple Emmy and Telly awards during an 20+ year career in television news.
  • Founder of onPoint Communication, training emerging leaders in critical influential leadership, communication, media, and presentation skills.
  • Creator of “influencer” training program for maximizing influence through effective communication.

Connie Dieken has translated her experiences over an award-winning career as a journalist into a unique series of insights that illuminate the essential traits of an influential leader. From these insights she’s developed a successful methodology for transforming everyday individuals into “influencers.” Since 2000, her onPoint Communication has trained emerging leaders in critical influential leadership, communication, media, and presentation skills.

Dieken won multiple Emmy and Telly awards during a more than 20-year career as a television news anchorwoman, reporter, broadcast personality, and talk show host. Inducted into the Radio/Television Broadcasters Hall of Fame for her body of work, Dieken has also served as a spokesperson for companies including Intel, Sealy, GE, American Greetings, Ernst and Young, and Goodyear.

Realizing there was a pattern to the success enjoyed by the influential figures she’d worked with in business and entertainment, Dieken spent years researching leaders’ common traits. Her conclusions form the foundation for her “influencer” training program. Dieken recognizes that power has a significant influence over each of us; maximizing this power through effective communication can transform any person into a leader.

Author and co-author of five books, including Talk Less, Say More: 3 Habits to Influence Others and Make Things Happen, Dieken has become an executive coach and adviser trusted by the leaders of many of today’s most successful corporations. Her work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Los Angeles Times, Crain’s Business, The Chicago Tribune, and Womens’ Day, among other media outlets.

PROGRAMS

Connie Dieken’s career has been spent as a communicator. From her award-winning communication of news and information to television audiences to her powerful ability to convey important concepts to business leaders, Dieken’s mastery of her craft offers boundless opportunities for audiences ready to equip themselves with tactics for success.

Working in the realm of broadcasting has made Dieken innately aware of the role presence plays in communicating power, responsibility, and trust. She helps audiences understand how to build personal brands and establish an aura of presence in their professional and personal lives. She understands that more communication is not necessarily better communication; by sharing tactics for how to connect with others, convey information, and convince anyone, Dieken helps her listeners learn how to manage their spoken and written communication more effectively.

In addition, Dieken demonstrates the power of reverse engineering and simplification in crafting persuasive appeals. Audiences will leave empowered and emboldened to build upon their strengths and become “influencers” themselves.

Solving Your Presence Problem

How to Build Your Personal Brand, Establish Trust and Gain Lasting Influence

Whether your audience members want to move a team to action or elevate their own careers, they need presence. But what is presence? Now more than ever, people are quick to judge, resist and dismiss. During this highly interactive keynote, Connie pinpoints the three most crucial presence problems that undermine person power – and guides each person to identify and solve their issues to transform into the powerfully influential leader they're meant to be.

Your audience will discover how to:

    • Lead others to seek their presence, trust them, and willingly follow their lead.
    • Override presence-killers such as egotism, anxiety, long-windedness and social façades
    • Be – and be recognized as – the real deal, thereby boosting their leadership capabilities
This keynote is based on Connie's newest bestseller, Become the Real Deal

Talk Less, Say More

Three Habits to Influence Others and Make Things Happen

Is your audience frustrated by distracted, impatient people tuning them out? Are they having trouble getting their points across in today’s time-pressed, noisy world? In this keynote, they’ll learn how to elevate their relationships forever. They’ll walk away ready to implement three powerful habits that will transform the true metric of influence – the way others respond to them. And it will never be more positive after this program.

Your audience will discover how to:

    • Connect with what others want and values to capture their attention
    • Convey information with portion control so they don’t confuse others
    • Convince anyone to reach an ideal outcome and feel good about it.
This program is based on Connie's bestseller, Talk Less, Say More

Present To Win

Develop & Deliver Ideas that Influence

Your audience will never approach or deliver a presentation the same way after experiencing this program. This keynote hones in on the outcome of presenting: how to influence positive decision-making. From this point forward, your attendees will place their own audiences at the center of everything they do. Connie models her strategies from the stage, so your audience gets a double dip as they discover her wildly successful approach that Fortune 100 teams have adopted as their winning presentation model.

Your audience will discover how to:

    • Reverse-engineer messages to influence even the most demanding people
    • Simplify to amplify to fight presentation bloat
    • Present naked. (It's not what it sounds like, but it's wildly fun.)

This program is adapted from Connie's executive coaching program.
