My mind was always at ease knowing that a competent, responsible, and ethical person was at the center of company interactions with both clients and speakers. During her time with GBS, the business grew by 400% due to her direct efforts as an effective manager.

Trust is at the center of business relationships, and there is no one I trust more to handle the growth and operational tasks necessary in the professional speaking industry.”

Meet Diana Atkinson

Hi, I’m Diana. I’m a talent manager, certified executive career coach, and entrepreneur. I founded Diana Atkinson Promotes in 2012 and have over a decade of experience supporting renowned women entrepreneurs, celebrities, speakers, and creative talent. I provide strategic direction, guidance, management, and support so that my talented clients can amplify their messages, access more opportunities, make great money, and grow their businesses.

I was formerly the Executive Director at Great Black Speakers, where I realized my superpower (helping women grow, have an impact, and make money!). Now, I love helping others uncover and cultivate their superpowers. I love working with people who have an established brand or career—and a vision for their growth but still find value in having an expert help execute those goals. My clients inspire me and I am proud to support the women I work with in elevating their impact.

Are You a Speaker, Entrepreneur, or Thought Leader?
