Acclaim for
Dr. Diane Hamilton

Business Behavioral Expert

So thankful to have had the opportunity to learn varying perspectives, challenges, and opportunities first hand from HR & Talent executives around the world.  I’d like to thank Dr. Diane Hamilton. Your thought leadership on deploying human curiosity to drive innovation was incredibly insightful and thought provoking. The F.A.T.E framework is something we can all prioritize in our everyday lives.

 

Some key takeaways that stuck with me: Curiosity drives transformation. Innovation starts with a “blank page” mindset. Creating environments that invite curiosity through trust and inclusion will be a defining factor for future-ready organizations. Special thanks to Dr. Diane Hamilton for your insights on deploying human curiosity to drive progress and innovation.

I was captivated by her research on curiosity, which peaks at age 5 and then diminishes rapidly. Like Dr. Diane, I believe we must foster a culture of curiosity and learning to drive better outcomes, like increased innovation and engagement. Her resources and tools are invaluable for HR leaders aiming to enhance organizational excellence. Dr. Diane, thank you for our enlightening discussion on introversion and extroversion.

As I set out to write my book, I looked online to find a curiosity specialist expert and I came upon the research of Dr. Diane Hamilton. I started reading all of her books and watching her videos and it started to blossom for me.  I am so happy to be part of her seminar because I finally get to meet her and I am able to learn even more about curiosity. I drove two hours to get to Luxembourg from Belgium. I am so happy, because for me, it was the opportunity of a lifetime.  This seminar made everything come alive.

Dr. Diane Hamilton, thank you for an extraordinary experience at the Luxembourg School of Business full-day training. Your workshop embodied a depth of wisdom, humor, and authenticity that inspired us all. In your presence, curiosity isn’t merely a concept—it becomes an energy that is both profound and accessible, inviting us to explore and to be more fully ourselves. As someone passionate about curiosity and its power to transform leadership and connection, I felt an immediate alignment with your insights and approach. Your work in developing the Curiosity Index and the Cracking the Curiosity Code framework has set a new standard, giving us tools to elevate not only our thinking but also our being. The ease with which you guided us into these profound concepts today built a palpable sense of trust and confidence within every participant. You instilled in each of us the courage to explore our own curiosity drivers and the assurance that this journey is not just valid but vital.

I very much enjoyed my appearance on Dr. Diane Hamilton’s show for a pair of related reasons: First, she’s an excellent, insightful interview partner who, second, did her homework to ensure that our conversation brought us to the most informative parts of my material.

It was an absolute pleasure to be a guest on the Dr. Diane Hamilton show. I have known Diane for several years. She is an expert interviewer who skillfully guides the conversation towards the most valuable insights for the listeners. Her show attracts an impressive list of guests, so it was an honor to be invited to share my perspectives on doing the unthinkable and about my recently published book Unthinkable – Life Teachings From a Soul Surfer. Dr. Hamilton’s insightful questions made the conversation engaging and thought-provoking. Thank you for the opportunity to share my message with your audience, Dr. Hamilton. It was a truly memorable experience.

We have hired Dr. Diane Hamilton as a speaker on multiple occasions to discuss her work with curiosity.  Recently, we also had her speak about perception.  These were just a few of the nearly all 5 star ratings Dr. Diane Hamilton’s Keynote presentation The Power of Perception: The Key to Communicate Effectively in a Globally Diverse World has received to date on IIL’s Leadership & Innovation 2022 Online Conference! That’s why IIL asks her back again and again, as well as reshows her presentations in our “Brought Back by Popular Demand” feature in conferences that follow.  Attendees loved how Dr. Diane Hamilton shares her ground-breaking research that has determined the four factors that impact the perception process, and people were enthusiastic about learning how to improve communication, and be more engaged, productive, and innovative at work.

So Dr. Diane, until the next time…!

 

Dr. Diane Hamilton is one of the most gifted leadership interviewers out there. She blends her own leadership wisdom with the questions she asks, engaging with her guests with ease, and drawing out tangible, immediately implementable insights for her audience. It was an honor to be a featured guest, and I left with my own action items from our interview! I highly recommend listening to “Take the Lead” and making it part of your weekly professional development.
