As principal consultant for Effective Networking, Inc., Diane founded the company on the premise that everyone can learn to network, they just need to find their own style. Combining interactive training, strategic planning and an exploration of the natural fears of networking, Darling demystifies the process by providing techniques that can be immediately implemented She has received rave reviews for her seminars and speeches and is increasingly sought after as an expert resource on the subject of networking. A long time member of ICCA-Boston, Jackie Grubb, has known Diane for many years and has this to say about her. "Most of us in ICCA, when we think of 'networks', think immediately of 'computers'. But to build our consulting businesses, we need to pay attention to networks of another kind - the networks of personal connections. Watching Diane Darling in action for close to 20 years now has been an education for me in how to put a consulting business on the map. I have watched Diane's transformation from a shy, introverted travel agent into a nationally known expert on networking - building of mutually beneficial relationships. She's in great demand across the country for her speeches and presentations. Diane practices what she preaches - big-time. Her book "The Networking Survival Guide" is now in its third or forth printing. She knows how to develop contacts that help a business grow. Diane will share her networking expertise with us at our January 25 ICCA meeting. Her insights will be most helpful to people building a consulting business. I urge you all to attend."
