Bend, Oregon, USAAbout
Violinist Diane Allen is an Award-Winning International Speaker and Thought Leader who speaks on increasing the meaning, joy, and fulfillment in one’s work and life by accessing the flow state.
Years before neuroscientists discovered the positive impact the flow state has on achieving peak performance, Diane had already experienced the power of flow in her own career as a violinist. During concerts Diane easily slipped into flow and performed her best. However, it eluded her during auditions preventing her from being hired for the fulfilling work she was already qualified to do. While flow is known to be elusive, Diane had to figure out how to get into flow, on demand. It was her unique approach to solving this problem that landed her a spot on the TEDxNaperville stage as well as features on TED, ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, Associated Press, Boston Herald, Authority Magazine, and Thrive Global.
With this “superpower” now reliably accessible, Diane became the Concertmaster of The Central Oregon Symphony for 15 years, a sought-after Violin Teacher of 28 years, and the author of 16 Music Workbooks sold worldwide.
Today, Diane is known for her experiential Keynotes, Training and Coaching programs that go Beyond Engagement™. Her three-step Flow Strategy™ system empowers people to get into their flow state, be in their genius, and love their job.

Unlock Your Flow: Feel Whole, Happy, & Fulfilled in Your Life
Boredom, stagnation, feeling blah… Burnout, overwhelm, dread… Being crazy busy but feeling empty on the inside…

Training for Managers: Beyond Engagement™ Leadership Training
Your teams are producing their best work. Collaboration happens with ease. Their synergy creates innovative outcomes that far exceed expectations. At the end of the day people leave inspired, fulfilled, and are looking forward to the next day’s work.
This is not a fantasy. It’s the workplace culture that Diane Allen experienced extensively as a Violinist. As the Concertmaster of an orchestra (lead Violinist and second in command to the Conductor) leading by example was key. In order for deep engagement, collaboration, ease, and synergy to happen, Diane had to be both the model and the catalyst.
Now as a Speaker, Trainer, and Coach, Diane shares her proprietary process helping Managers to first, rejuvenate by connecting what they LOVE to the work that they DO, and second, by empowering them with the specific steps to do the same for the members of their teams.

Your team is in the middle of a challenge. Everyone is giving it their undivided attention. Ideas and insights are coming in from out of the blue. Collaboration happens with ease. The sum of the parts is clearly greater than the whole and being a part of this synergistic environment is riveting.
What if this wasn’t a lucky moment? What if teams had the know-how to ignite Group Flow™ on a daily basis?
