Richard Perry, Author of The Good Home Cookbook, also President and Publisher of Collectors Press :

Diana Jordan rocks! She knew how to tap into the heart of my topic and help me convey it with authenticity. I highly recommend her.

Sheri Fitts, Portland Female Executives:

We got RAVING reviews about your presentation; everyone loved it.

Brenda Smith, Author and Professor, Portland State, Marketing for Writers:

Diana Jordan has interviewed many well-known authors and celebrities over the years. Her speech to my class was not only engaging; it was very informative. My grad students could not get enough. Their questions went on and on. In fact they went on so long I had to put a stop to them. Diana was entertaining, yet sincere, and very professional. Diana's stories and experiences are inspiring and affirming.

Susan Fletcher, author of Alphabet of Dreams:

I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed the seminar and how valuable it was. I love your approach, Diana. It's warm and honest and not at all hypey. You manage to bring substance and a sense of the genuine to the short media interview--a setting that's important for authors but too often comes off shallow and false. Now I have so much more confidence about this. Thank you for your generosity, for your vulnerability.

A subsequent comment from Susan Fletcher:

I was giving a workshop...(and a reporter) interviewed all of the presenters, individually...I really enjoyed the experience. But then she asked that last question: Is there anything else you'd like to tell me? Honestly, before I took your class I'm sure I would have said something like, "Uh, no, I can't think of anything else, thanks." But I was ready. I said the thing we worked on in class, and she said, "Wow."

Julie Fast, Take Charge of BiPolar Disorder:

Thank you for your informative, fun and very timely class. I learned a lot and feel I am much more prepared for my publicity.

Steve Jones, author:

I really enjoyed Diana's workshop and found it helpful. It forced me to confront my work in a way I hadn't previously. While I knew in my gut what my novel was about, I didn't know how to talk about it. The prospect of succinctly summarizing, in the interview setting with Diana, transformed my thinking about my book and how to describe it. She's well grounded in the science and art of the interview, as evidenced by her body of work and how she summarizes media prep for the novice. Not only does she know what she's doing, she knows how to describe in it a way that draws you in.

Robin Duke, Life Coach:

Diana has a wonderful way of interviewing people; she connects on a deeper level and helps the listener to hear and see a different perspective of the interview. It has inspired me to dig deeper and work harder to bring to light the very important message I have to share and to give a perspective that comes from my heart.

Property Manager Heidi Knapp, Portland Equity Office:

Our Women in Management Network group reaped many benefits from Diana's presentation. I've had some great feedback from my co-workers; we also had a great time and learned interesting techniques and strategies at the same time.

Members of The Link for Women who answered an on-line survey:

Diana Jordan's interviewing skill tips were well presented and her personal energy was exceptional

I was impressed with Diana, her background and the high-profile people that she interviewed. I most like the story about one of my favorite on-air personalities, Tim Russert. Anyone that can bring Russert to tears is my hero. Overall, her points about listening and letting the interview emerge were very good points for business. I really enjoyed this event.

I thought Diana did a great job. I enjoyed her fresh approach and she was very authentic and inspiring.

Regina Perata, Specializing in Top-Performing Individuals & Teams:

It was such a treat to hear you speak last night. I learned a great deal, from your personal story to your teachings.
