To overcome her fear of public speaking, Diane Darling took acting and stand-up comedy classes. That out-of-the-box and strategic mindset have been a contributing factor to her success. She was even the commencement speaker at MIT Charm School (yes, there is such a thing).

McGraw-Hill commissioned her to write the definitive book on networking called The Networking Survival Guide, which was published in April 2003 and went into a 2nd printing just 90 days after the book hit the shelves. Her books are collectively in 9 languages.

She was the 15,418th subscriber on LinkedIn – now there are 1 billion.

Her travels include all seven continents and approximately 60 countries. She has lived in the Philippines, Thailand, Colorado, Indiana, Washington DC, Alabama, and now in Boston, MA. She is a member of the Chief Executive’s Club of Boston, is the past president of the Association for Talent Development in Boston, and a founding member of 20/20 Women on Board.

Her hobbies include traveling, watching football, reading, knitting, learning new technologies, attempting to play tennis, and camping in Maine.

She is the author of The Networking Survival Guide and Networking for Career Success, published by McGraw-Hill in 9 languages.
