Who We Are

Diana Morris
“In the past 23 years, I’ve been an employee, entrepreneur, salesperson, people manager, author, and speaker. I’ve been hired and fired, praised and rejected. I’ve faced tough challenges, sometimes rising to meet them, sometimes, well... not.
So no matter what career stage or position you’re in, I get where you’re coming from, and I have an absolute passion for helping you grow and avoid the mistakes I made.”
“As a manager in a large corporation and then a small business owner, I’ve learned a lot about what makes people tick and business hum. Throughout my own career, I’ve been told many times that building people—developing their best skills and talents—is one of my greatest strengths. It's also my passion. Through Breakthrough Skills, I’m thrilled to use every bit of my experience as employee, leader, and business partner to help people create the breakthroughs that get them to the next level, and beyond.”
Whether you work for a company or are a boot-strapping entrepreneur, your expertise will take you only so far. After that, it’s the way you work with people that matters most: how you handle conflicts, how well you lead, listen, and communicate, your skill at negotiation and persuasion. These people skills, polished and powerful, will let you soar to new heights of success. We don’t want you to waste one more day—not one hour. Find out if your people skills need a boost, and get started right now.
Positive emotions, ideas, and questions mean success at work, plus authentic happiness, creativity, and even problem-solving ability. Expect (and get) the best from people and situations. See fresh solutions where others see only problems.
If you want to find a company’s most influential people, just look in the corner offices. Negotiation and persuasion skills are often the difference between a company’s “A-listers” and everyone else.
By itself, great work is the tree falling in the forest with no one there to hear it. It just isn’t enough. You’ve got to be sure the influential people in your work life know about it. Learn to talk about your successes with confidence.
