She has been interviewed by Good Morning America, USA Today, Forbes.com, The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, FOX, CNN, CNN International, CNBC, NPR, Dr. Laura Radio Show,The New York Times, The New York Post, Washington Post, New York Newsday, Bloomberg, Boardroom Reports, Investor’s Business Daily, Industry Week, Success, Entrepreneur, Glamour, Real Simple, Working Woman, among other national radio, TV, and newspapers.

On any given weekend when Dianna’s not spending time with family or friends, working on her next nonfiction book or novel, writing a blog, she’s researching. As she explains it, that research takes many forms: Reading the latest research study from academia. Combing through social media for the latest stats on her keywords. Listening to an interview. Watching a movie to analyze structure and character development. Visiting a new culture or setting for her next book.

In Dianna’s own words, “I’m a mediocre cook, a dreadful decorator, and a deadly gardener. So I might as well make better use of these hands and eyes.”

Founder of Booher Consultants, a communication training firm, and then more recently founder of Booher Research Institute, Dianna has worked with more than a third of the Fortune 500 organizations and more than a dozen federal agencies to improve the way they communicate.
