Testimonials

Speaking

It is with immense pleasure that I write this testimonial for Diane Demetre, who graced the opening of the Rostrum 100th Anniversary event on the Gold Coast with her invigorating presence as our keynote speaker.

From the very first interaction to the closing moments of her presentation, Diane’s impeccable attention to detail was unmistakable. She crafted an experience that was not only seamless but also enriched with insightful preparation and the utmost professionalism. Her dedication was evident in every aspect of her involvement, setting a new benchmark for what we expect from keynote speakers.

Diane’s delivery was nothing short of electric. Her energy was not just palpable but infectious, galvanizing the audience into a state of eager anticipation and excitement. The atmosphere she created wasn’t just charged but also inviting, making each word she spoke not only heard but truly felt.

The content of Diane’s presentation was both timely and timeless, challenging us all to think, feel, and act differently. With the precision and insight of an expert, she provided us with tangible tools to embolden our leadership and enhance our personal journeys. Her message resonated so profoundly that it became the talk of the event, with members still abuzz at the Gala Awards Dinner, lauding her faultless execution.

Moreover, Diane’s address contained something for everyone—there was a universal quality to her words that transcended roles and ranks within our organization. She adeptly made us aware of our own moods and attitudes towards leadership, inspiring us to not only listen but to actively engage and take copious notes. Such was the impact of her words that even the Governor of Queensland felt compelled to remark on the excellence of Diane’s presentation.

In all my years with Rostrum, never have I seen a speaker be universally acclaimed as “the best in the 100-year history of Rostrum.” Diane’s contribution to our centennial celebration was not just a highlight—it set a visionary standard, echoing the pioneering spirit that has been the cornerstone of our organization for a century.

In conclusion, to say that Diane exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. She delivered an experience that was transformative, not only living up to the legacy of Rostrum but elevating it to new heights. For this, we are profoundly grateful and look forward to the ripples of change her words have undoubtedly set in motion.

I recently attended an event where Diane Demetre was the guest speaker. Her presentation to a room full of business owners and leaders was outstanding. Her experience in her own successful businesses and passion captivated everyone. Her own personal story and message of Fear Less – Dare More awakened something in me, and quite honestly, as a presenter, she’s second to none. For me, I would love to see Diane present to every business in Australia because that’s what she’s great at – inspiring others and getting results.

I am delighted to write this recommendation for Diane Demetre, who recently participated as a panellist in the “Celebrating Women in Entrepreneurship” event at Bond University. As the host of the event, and the External Relations Director of the Bond University Student Club called the Fresh Ideas Network, I had the pleasure of witnessing Diane’s outstanding contribution to the discussion.

Diane has brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to the panel, and her insights on entrepreneurship and empowering women were truly inspiring. Her passion for promoting gender diversity in the entrepreneurial world was evident throughout the event, and it left a lasting impact on the audience.

She provided valuable examples from her own journey as an entrepreneur, making the discussion engaging and relatable for everyone present.

As an event organiser, I highly recommend Diane as a panellist for any future discussions or events related to entrepreneurship, diversity, and empowerment. She has proven to be a true advocate for women in business, and her expertise in the field is an invaluable asset to any panel or conversation.

I believe that Diane’s participation in events like “Celebrating Women in Entrepreneurship” not only showcases her own success but also serves as a source of motivation for aspiring entrepreneurs. Her commitment to uplifting others and breaking barriers is commendable and deserves recognition.

I wholeheartedly endorse Diane for her exceptional contribution to the “Celebrating Women in Entrepreneurship” event. She is an inspiration to us all, and I am confident that her future endeavours will continue to make a positive impact on the entrepreneurial community.

Diane was absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. I would 100% recommend her.

Diane is an enigmatic, thought-provoking speaker. Diane challenges us to examine our thought patterns and the limited thinking that is holding us back from achieving our goals. Diane inspires us to connect with and embrace the paths we were destined to travel upon.

We engaged Diane to be our emcee for the Official International Women’s Day Youth Leadership Awards virtual event 2021. She was truly awesome. Because of her extensive experience in event management, she was a real asset during the preparation phase and gave freely of her ideas to help the event run smoother. She was a delight to work with, delivering her pre-recorded segments before schedule. Then as emcee, she presented elegantly and delivered the content in a sincere, professional manner with a touch of inspiration for our youth leaders, nominees. In summary, behind the scenes and in front of the camera, Diane was a consummate professional. Someone I would highly recommend as emcee for any event, and we look forward to working with her again.

I found Diane’s ‘no-nonsense’ positive approach and presentation style to be uniquely different and extremely engaging. She is a woman who commands a room and gets to the core of the truth in a way that touches you inside. I experienced an awakening of the mind and soul that challenged my way of thinking about life which has made a lasting impact on my life. An extraordinary woman, with extraordinary gifts and extraordinary story to share.

Many thanks for waking our members up and giving them a new perspective on life. We need more speakers who promote the philosophy of ‘the sky is the limit’ for everybody – not just a chosen few.

Seldom does one find a speaker whose address combines so many elements and such a range of good practical sense. The dynamics of your presentation were wonderful and made those present really sit up and listen. You provided a welcome contrast to the usual type of speakers who stand at lecterns.

Thank you so much for your fabulous contribution to our Hamilton Island Best Practice Retreat. Your enthusiastic, professional, and entertaining session was just great!

You were just magnificent, and it will be a hundred years before anybody who attended this Conference will forget your presentation. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Without doubt the best speaker I have had the pleasure of listening to. A dynamic performance to say the least.

Diane’s unique style certainly made us sit up and take notice. What a knock-out!

Training

I was a student in Diane’s Master Mindset live course, and I found her ‘no-nonsense’ positive approach to her teaching to be uniquely different and extremely engaging. I experienced an awakening of the mind and soul that challenged my way of thinking about life from the very first class, which has made a lasting impact on my life and business.

I found Diane’s course life changing. My scientific brain loved that Diane used Einstein to explain how to achieve your destiny. It satisfied my need for science, as well as explaining how channelling your thoughts and energy in a positive way brings positive results. I recommend Diane’s course to anyone who wants to change their life and business.

“When I decided to start my own business, I enlisted Diane to coach me in personal, professional and business development. For over 2 decades since, I have succeeded as a woman solopreneur because of what she’s taught me. Through Diane’s powerful insights and practical systems, I have been able to turn my visions into realities time and time again.”

Diane’s seminars and workshops are imaginative and extremely practical. I have participated in many training programs but have found these particularly worthy of repetition. Highly recommended.

Diane’s no-nonsense approach is precise and succinct yet delivered with Diane’s trademark unwavering care and compassion. Her methodical approach will have you exploring your mindset like never before and though challenging at times, the results are undoubtedly expansive and life-changing.

Diane is a dynamic, interesting and talented speaker. Her seminars impact significantly on those wanting to improve their life’s situation.

Coaching

Working with Diane as my coach has been an invaluable experience for me. Her insights have guided me to discover a more balanced approach between work and life. I’ve been able to see things from a fresh perspective, enhancing my overall efficiency and well-being. I highly recommend Diane to anyone looking to optimize their life and professional journey.

I engaged Diane to work as my private performance coach when I fell into a rut and didn’t know how to get myself out of bed and become motivated again. 
Diane has fantastic perspective from her years of experience, and it helped clarify my long-term goals, vision, and intention for my career. 
Based on her coaching and my subsequent mindset shift, my confidence, certainty, and clarity increased. Since our sessions I have my buzz back and have accepted a career changing work contract with substantial financial remuneration.  
Diane is a highly experienced and intuitive coach whose services I would recommend to anyone wanting to reach their potential both professionally and personally.

Diane’s exceptional leadership and her ability to communicate clearly and concisely has been a major influence in my life and business, which is reflected in the success of my achievements to date. Her guidance under many difficult human resource circumstances has provided me with a pathway to ensure amicable resolutions are reached and finalised. These and other factors have made her the success that she is today.

What I’ve learnt from your working with Diane has re-energised me on my career and life’s path. The sharing of her knowledge and experience is absolutely priceless.

Diane’s classes have been extremely helpful. She is a wealth of knowledge. I’ve used a number of her suggested strategies and they’ve worked a charm!

After completely two sessions  working with Diane, I couldn’t believe the changes that were happening to me. So, I upgraded to the Platinum package. For the first time doing a coaching program, I was not talking about my problems. Diane’s coaching helps lift you to a higher energetic level where problems don’t exist. She helps you connect yourself to who you actually are. 

Diane, with her structured and genius exercises teaches you techniques which put you in an unlimited and expansive mindset. It is a place that knows no boundaries. Throughout this program, I had so many personal breakthroughs, one which brought me back to my natural state of joy (which I honestly had not felt for over 7 years)

The unexpected consequences from this coaching and mentoring program were that I now have so much more energy and my business is thriving on a whole new level because I’m in it and loving it. I also have a more peaceful relationship with my husband because I understand my personal power. I feel like I now have solid techniques to not let my emotions hijack me, and I feel free and in control in every aspect of my life. This is the best program I have ever done and I am eternally grateful for Diane.

She draws out the best in people, who in turn bring an enthusiasm, commitment, and level of excellence to their lives.
