June 26, 2025Diandra brought vulnerability, passion, and warmth to my listeners. Recording a podcast episode with her was truly like sitting down with a close friend. My listeners were really able to connect with her story and truly feel as if they were not alone in this world. She spoke life into everyone who has gone through or currently is going through a healing journey and was able to provide real-life experience with ways that she thrives in her own life.

If an audience came to see me, they’d see a dynamic, no-fluff communicator who blends real-world tech and sales experience with engaging storytelling. I bring energy, clarity, and candor — offering practical insights on customer success, relationship-driven sales, and navigating the IT services space with heart and strategy. Audiences walk away inspired, informed, and ready to act.
If a client hired me, they’d get a trusted partner who leads with integrity, listens deeply, and delivers. I bridge the gap between business needs and technical execution, helping organizations simplify complexity, reduce risk, and strengthen their IT infrastructure. From discovery to deployment, I bring accountability, empathy, and a bias toward action.
Diandra Ford-Wing is a dynamic and innovative Sales Director whose profound journey through grief ignited her passion for storytelling. After the sudden loss of her mother, Diandra made the courageous decision to pause her thriving career, allowing herself the space to heal and reflect. This transformative experience ultimately inspired her debut novel, "Red Bird," a heartfelt exploration of loss and resilience.
Growing up as an Army Brat, Diandra's life was defined by constant change and adventure, spending her formative years in diverse locations, including Germany. These rich experiences have deeply influenced her narrative voice, infusing her writing with a unique perspective and cultural depth.
When she’s not connecting with clients or weaving captivating tales, Diandra enjoys the simple pleasures of life with her husband, Ben, and their two beloved Doodles, CoCo and XuXa. She finds joy in the balance of her professional and personal worlds, and through her writing, she aspires to resonate with others navigating their own paths of loss and self-discovery. Diandra's journey is a testament to the power of storytelling as a means of healing, and she invites readers to join her on this transformative adventure.
As a speaker, I deliver engaging, content-rich sessions tailored to business, tech, and professional development audiences. My presentations are adaptable for keynotes, panels, workshops, and breakout sessions — both in-person and virtual.
A/V & Tech Requirements:
Wireless lavalier or headset microphone preferred (handheld is fine if needed)
Projector/screen with HDMI or clicker capability if slides are used
House sound system for any video or media playback
Confidence monitor (if available) appreciated but not required
Lighting adequate for visibility and audience engagement
Staging & Setup:
Podium not required — I prefer to move freely across the stage
A small table or chair nearby for personal items or notes is helpful
Please allow access to the venue 30–60 minutes prior for tech check
I bring professionalism, flexibility, and a collaborative spirit — ensuring your event runs smoothly and your audience leaves inspired.
I’ve been influenced by a mix of voices who bring authenticity, strategy, and service to the forefront. Carla Harris inspires me with her bold leadership and her ability to blend business acumen with empathy. Bozoma Saint John showed me the power of showing up fully — unapologetically yourself — in rooms that weren’t built for you.
On the tech and service side, I’ve been influenced by leaders who prioritize customer success as a growth strategy, not just a support function. And from a performance perspective, I draw energy from communicators like Michelle Obama — poised, grounded, and always speaking from a place of lived experience and deep intention.
These influences taught me that real impact doesn’t come from performance alone — it comes from presence, purpose, and the courage to lead with your whole self.
