How To Pivot From Pair of Hands To Sought-After Expert with Dianna Denney

Get ready for on-air coaching on pivoting your brand and business from pair of hands to sought-after expert with my guest Dianna Deeney.

Be a fly on the wall as Dianna and I tap into her ideal business model (which isn't what she initially had), her unique superpowers, and how she can stand out for the clients she wants to serve.

We also brainstormed different ways to position some of the program ideas she has been percolating on. You'll hear it all in real-time!

Dianna and I had a unique business, "meet cute." We were both at a speaking skills intensive retreat hosted by Speaking Your Brand, which was an amazing experience for so many reasons. One of my fellow participants was Dianna, a quality engineering consultant who seemed like she already knew me when I met her.

And she did! It turns out she had found me online last year and bought one of my courses. She shared with me how she was working hard on transitioning from a "pair of hands" to an expert advisor, and I thought it would be great to have her on my podcast and dive into that conversation.

What sealed the deal for me was when she got up in front of the group to practice her signature talk. I could tell from meeting Dianna how brilliant she is as an engineer. But when she got up on stage, she was a natural with a wicked sense of humor. 

My thought was, "man, she has a unique combo of skills – I would love to get my branding hands on." So, I begged Dianna to let me put her on the branding hot seat for my podcast, and she graciously agreed. 

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How you can take the strengths from our past and create a new business that reflects your superpower(s)
• The difference between intention and goals and why you need to hold onto intentions as our business evolves
• How to build a business that allows you to craft the life you need and want
• How to get to the root of your why so you can create a brand position that accurately reflects what you want from your business and attracts your ideal client

If my other guests inspired you, you'll love Dianna! My "Owning Your Strengths" series brought you guests that have discovered how to build a business out of the best of why they are and what they offer the world. They've gone beyond the WHAT-ifs and experienced the magic of working with someone like me who packages their brilliance and gives them words to express it.

About My Guest: Dianna Deeney is the host of the Quality during DesignSM Podcast and is the founder of Quality during DesignSM. She coaches product development engineers about awareness and use of quality and reliability methods during the design development process. She is an engineer, a senior quality professional, and an active member of ASQ holding certificates as a CQE, CRE, CQA, and CMQ/OE. Dianna believes that design engineers do not need to become quality or reliability engineers to use those methods and benefit from quality thinking. She has seen that using quality as a strategic asset during concept and design development improves the design and the design process and helps design engineers to be recognized as star performers. Her mission is to bridge product managers and designers (entry-level to seasoned) to the world's quality initiatives and quality-minded people.
