Dianne Bischoff James is an award-winning author of The Real Brass Ring: Change Your Life Course Now, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur who specializes in life enhancing transformation. She is a dynamic midlife reinventionist who helps other recognize their own personal power and potential and actor/performer who encourages audiences to create a reality that is prosperous, deliberate, and meaningful. Dianne graduated Magna Cum Laude from Northwestern University with an M.S. in Integrated Marketing Communications and has a B.A. in Psychology from Marquette University. In 1995, she launched Core Marketing Solutions, a branding consultancy located in Chicago and received both Platinum and Gold MarCom Awards in honor of corporate branding excellence. Despite her business success, Dianne felt great personal unrest. At forty, she embarked on a journey to find her heart and reignite a childhood passion for the dramatic arts. In 2003 she kicked off an acting career on the community theatre stage and over the course of eight years, became a SAG-AFTRA actor with numerous film, television, commercial and industrial credits. At age 45, she began writing The Real Brass Ring; Change Your Life Course Now! The memoir chronicles her private revolution, illustrating the details, anecdotes and metaphysical tactics used to unravel her seemingly traditional, yet miserable life. In keeping with her entrepreneurial spirit, in 2013, Dianne also established Live Your Everything, (liveyoureverything.com) a company that offers products, services and resources to support the path of life reinvention and personal transformation. Dianne currently resides in a suburb of Chicago with her three children and fiancé and enjoys adventure sports, hiking, boating, yoga, art festivals and dance.
