"I can only express the responses of tears of joy, looks of disbelief and the genuine raucous laughter erupting from our members. Looking around our dinner meeting to see the engaged looks was a surprise and a wonderful experience in itself. Never in the several years have I been with Zonta, or any other function have I seen a speaker have such an effect on their audience." - Zonta Club of Brisbane South

We were thrilled with her presentation - those present were spell bound as Diane recounted her extraordinary life, and the way that she survived the altercation with the hyena in Africa.

She used her experiences to tell the story of her determination to overcome the amazing challenges that she faced during the attack and afterwards as she fought back to bring some normality to her life.

Diane's life has been amazing, and the way she tells her story and relates it to people in business, or facing their own demons is inspirational.

"We are grateful that you gave of your time to be our meeting Guest Speaker. Your address was most inspiring, impressing upon us all how ones' attitude to life's situations can have such a profound effect on outcomes. Through your own personal story, you demonstrated to us just how important it is to maintain a positive attitude no matter how hopeless a circumstance may appear.

And while your message was very powerful, it was the manner in which you conveyed that message that made such an impact on us. Your blend of humour and seriousness made for a very interesting and entertaining address." - President 2009 - 20102, The Rotary Club of South Brisbane Inc

Diane Carter is a truly gifted speaker with a story that takes her listeners on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, ending with a soft inspirational landing. Her style is truly unique and as a speaker Diane would be suitable for any event where people are looking for inspiration and encouragement to go forward in their lives, regardless of their circumstance. (business or personal)

Thank you Diane ... you are an amazing speaker and talented author who is helping to make a difference in the lives of so many!

“Diane’s book was such an inspiration, I read it in one sitting! The stories from each person are so real and incredibly moving.

I was going through a rather difficult phase of my life when I read the book and it certainly showed me, that in the face of all odds, with a smile and positive outlook, life has a way of turning out.”

Jane Toohey, Director, Consultant.

We invited Diane to be the opening speaker at our National Convention. She came highly recommended and we were not disappointed. What an uplifting experience. Diane immediately captured our attention and had us amazed and enthralled with stories of her remarkable life experiences. She delivers a positive message in a humorous manner. Many of our delegates commented “Diane is the best speaker I have ever heard”.
