New York Times bestselling author Diana Kander is revolutionizing the way businesses look at innovation and curiosity. As a serial entrepreneur, innovation consultant, and keynote speaker, she has helped create multi billion-dollar products, coached Fortune 500 boards and executive committees, and helped organizations across sectors turn curiosity from a corporate value into a daily habit. Having truly cracked the code on using curiosity as a catalyst for exponential growth, Kander shows audiences how to get better results by learning how to ask better questions, drawing on entertaining case studies and perspective-shifting stories.
A serial entrepreneur who entered the United States as a refugee at the age of 8, Kander has launched and sold millions of dollars worth of products and services. She outlined her biggest lessons learned in her first book, All In Startup, which has been used by over 100 universities and in countless organizations to help their employees think more like entrepreneurs. Kander is a former MBA professor at Mizzou and has been the entrepreneur-in-residence at H&R Block, Commerce Bank, and several government agencies.
Kander’s unrelenting curiosity has led her to study some pretty big questions. What kind of culture needs to exist in an organization to ensure innovative ideas and practices? What causes name brands to lose relevance and go out of business? How has Snoop Dogg continued to innovate decade after decade to stay relevant to each generation? Kander explores these questions in depth in her second book, The Curiosity Muscle, which demonstrates why most companies and brands lose their edge and outlines her methodology to keep curiosity alive, and in her third book, Go Big or Go Home, which shows organizations how to turn sales pitches into an emotional experience to close more deals and drive growth.
A dynamic speaker, Kander’s unique blend of innovation expertise and engaging presentation style makes her a top choice for any organization looking to ignite a spark of curiosity and thinking outside the box.
