Live Fearlessly! Love Fearlessly! Laugh!

Inspirational speaker Diane Conway shares the wisdom and humor from her life as well as the amazing, heroic, survival stories of people she interviewed for her best-selling books.

With her first line, “I’m an only child but not the favorite,” Diane takes her audiences on a wild ride from poignant stories to sidesplitting, can’t-catch-your-breath laughter. From being kicked out of kindergarten to becoming a best-selling author, nothing about Diane’s life has been ordinary. She is a survivor who celebrates the survivor in everyone.

Diane leaves audiences inspired and empowered with her Fearless Fun programs and consistently gets the highest ratings from clients. Dr. Robert Maurer of UCLA Medical School says, “Your program was a triumph. Your wisdom and humor are entertaining and enlightening.” Diana has presented programs for Betty Ford Center, Hazelden Foundation, hospitals and many women’s conferences nationwide, and has received standing ovations from her peers at the National Speakers Association.

From the podium, Diane not only shares the wisdom and humor from her life but the amazing, heroic, survival stories of the hundreds of men and women she has interviewed for her bestselling books. What Would You Do If You Had No Fear? Living Your Dreams While Quakin’ in Your Boots is Diane’s inspirational classic which has inspired thousands. It has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Chicago Sun Times and Women’s Day magazine. Anne Lamott who wrote the foreword says, “Diane Conway is going to feel like your new best friend. She’s a cross between Studs Terkel and Fanny Flagg – intelligent, spiritual, wise, and hilarious.”

Diane’s second book, What Would You Do For LOVE If You Had No Fear? Loving Without Losing Your Mind, was rated by America Online in the Top Ten for Valentine’s gifts.

Whether morphing into the leopard wearing, wise-cracking, red-haired, ‘double wide and deep fried’ hairdresser, Earlene, or sweeping on stage as your Fairy Godmother, Diane keeps audiences panting for more. Of course, the characters will only be coaxed out when appropriate for the audience.

Diane created a Woman’s Night Out show called Comedy Camp, which played to packed houses from Nashville to Las Vegas. The show was reviewed by Variety and considered for a sitcom. The San Francisco Chronicle calls Diane, “Funny, positive, upbeat!” and The Nashville Tennessean says, “Conway is one of today’s funniest women.”

Diane is a popular media guest appearing on television and in radio interviews in the US and the UK. She’s a master of the hilarious line that people will be quoting for days and the inspirational phrase that can save the day. The wildly popular British show Hollywood Lovers featured Conway in her Fairy Godmother persona prompting The Sunday Express to comment, “The zany Fairy Godmother is by far the most entertaining thing on TV all week.”

Diane lives with her husband, Brian, and their 3 dogs on a blue houseboat in Sausalito, California. The couple’s float won first place in the 4th of July Parade, with Diane resplendent as a mermaid and Brian tied to a chair dressed as King Neptune.
