Diane Allen

International speaker and violinist Diane Allen is a TEDx/TED 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. It was her unique approach to getting into flow, on demand, 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. Diane was the concertmaster of the Central Oregon Symphony for 15 years, a beloved violin teacher for 28 years, and author of the Fingerboard Workbook series for violin, viola, cello, and bass.

Diane is extremely proud of her husband, John, who is also a musician, and her son Scott, who is a pilot. Both exemplify what it’s like to live a meaningful life at the intersection of flow, passion, and purpose.

Today, the author of Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do is known for her experiential keynotes, training, and coaching programs that go Beyond Engagement™ featuring her three-step Flow Strategy™ system which empowers people to get into their flow state, be in their genius, and love what they do.
