Seminars

Developing Mental Potential, Reducing Stress, & Increasing Efficiency

Developing the Mental Power of Intuition

The powerful tool, intuition, customarily happens quite spontaneously. However, intuition can be developed, by learning how to access it deliberately. Learn techniques on how to access intuitive information on demand, how to listen to the intuitive information continually surrounding you, waiting for your awareness, as well as how your particular forms of intuition may present themselves, how to harness that faculty, how to get useful, "pure" information, and how to apply it to both the workplace and your personal life. A hands-on, experiential seminar.

"Intuition is de rigueur for the high-performance mind." -- Diane Brandon

Executive Intuition

The first step toward developing this misunderstood, yet essential, tool is to understand what intuition is and what it isn't. Is intuition only in the purview of the arcane, or is it really more commonplace, normal, and mainstream than we may have thought? Learn the ins and outs of intuition, the states of consciousness involved, how it works with logic and analytical thinking, how to work with and reap the rewards of your sub- and unconscious, intuition's practical application to the workplace -- and how developing it represents using more Mind Power. It's like having an Owner's Manual for your Mind!

"Intuition isn't the enemy, but the ally, of reason." --John Kord Lagemann

"People who can turn on the ideal brain waves to deal with each and every situation are considered gifted." -- Jim Hardt, Biocybernaut Institute

Maximizing Creativity for Innovation

Growing competition, continuous new forms of technology, and an increasingly global marketplace require innovation and continuous improvement in all facets of business for economic viability: in product development, marketing and advertising, HR policies -- even distribution. And innovation requires that elusive trait, creativity, which some business schools are now teaching, along with other right brain skills. What is creativity, how are you creative, and how can creativity be developed? Hands-on and experiential.
 

Enhancing Teamwork, Objectivity & Clarity

PROACT - Perceiving with Clarity & Acting Proactively

How often does personal "stuff" intrude into the workplace -- creating conflict, misperceptions, and misunderstandings -- thus negatively affecting teamwork and productivity? Productivity (and profit) requires efficiency, clear decision-making, and conflict-free teamwork. Delving into and learning how to control our levels of consciousness enables us to become more clear-sighted and proactive. Learn how our psychology of perception and perceptual make-up can have an effect on our objectivity, clarity, and ability to team with others. Hands-on and experiential.

Listening -- so very critical -- yet seemingly so difficult
 
Can You Hear Me Now? -- The Art of Listening

Clear communication is critical in business, and yet misunderstandings and miscommunications can add up to expensive mistakes. Seemingly simple, in reality listening can be quite complicated -- but there's hope! Listening skills can be developed and honed -- and we can all become Effective Listeners.

Biography/Client List

Diane Brandon is one of the country's leadings experts on Intuition and its inner workings, as well as an Author and Personal Growth & Right-Brain Facilitator.

Diane Brandon is an expert on the inner workings of Intuition and specializes in teaching Right-Brain skills to others in a rational, left-brain fashion. She has created a conceptual model of intuition, in addition to her concept of the Inner Administrative Assistant.

Diane has had a natural aptitude for being whole-brain, being equally comfortable with both left-brain tasks and right-brain pursuits and has been an achiever all her life.

After graduation from Benjamin Franklin Senior High School for academically gifted in New Orleans, Diane attended Duke University and graduated with an A.B. in French. She then did Master’s work in Radio, Television, and Motion Pictures at the University of North Carolina. She also attended T.U.T.O.R., a language institute in Geneva, Switzerland for French studies.

After beginning to work professionally with her intuition in 1992, which came out of left field for her, she researched it as a phenomenon for several years, which led to her creation of her conceptual model of it. Because of this, she is keenly equipped to teach it to those who are more left-brain.

Since 1996, she has been teaching this critical right-brain skill to others, both those who consider themselves to be predominantly left-brain and those who are more comfortable with right-brain activities. She has taught Intuition in Corporate Seminars, private classes and workshops, and Continuing Education courses (at her alma mater, Duke University, and University of Memphis), in addition to speaking about it and writing about it, in articles and two books, Intuition for Beginners and Invisible Blueprints.

Diane is that Rare expert on intuition:  She is not only a Professional Intuitive, but has also Studied Intuition as a Phenomenon so as to better understand and teach it

Diane has a knack both for explaining cognitively what this right-brain skill is and leading others to explore and experience it for themselves experientially. She specializes in teaching others how to access their intuition in an on-demand manner, rather than waiting for information to come to them spontaneously and how to then work with the information they receive. In the process, she leads people to become more whole-brain and utilize more of their mental potential.

Diane has delivered corporate seminars on Maximizing Creativity for Innovation, and The Art of Listening, as well as on Intuition, has taught Wellness Classes on the Wellness Aspects of Sleep and Dreams and Stress Relief via Guided Meditation, and has also facilitated workshops and spoken to groups on Intuition, Creativity, Personal Empowerment and Wholeness, Dreams, Heart-Centeredness, and her work as a Professional Intuitive. She has also spoken to the Annual Gathering of Mensa members on Intuition to overwhelmingly positive response. (Diane is a member of Mensa.)

Diane has been a trail-blazer for most of her life. She pursued acting and singing, was the first female manager in the Marketing Department of Edward Weck & Company, opened a performing arts store, translated international maritime regulations, and decided to tackle the ephemeral topic of intuition from a rational and cognitive point of view. Diane is a “people person” with a strong, dynamic stage presence, rendering her seminars and presentations both memorable and powerful.

Because she had to develop her own intuition, rather than always knowing it was there, Diane is keenly equipped to teach others how to use theirs and how to apply it to practical and everyday areas. She further has a knack for explaining things in a grounded and understandable manner, ensuring that any "arcane" aspects of her topics are brought firmly into the light of day and rendered commonsensical and easily grasped.
