Dianne is a Partner in Women Lead Publishing, a hybrid publisher working with women authors to publish books sharing their wisdom and thought leadership. 

 In 2015 Dianne founded Lighthearted Life, using her speaking and writing to inspire and encourage people going through their own challenges, helping them create joy-filled, authentic and meaningful lives. 
Dianne Callahan is an award-winning communications professional, non-profit executive, author and motivational speaker with more than 25 years of experience leading and inspiring individuals and teams to success.

Dianne is also a three-time cancer survivor. In her role as Area Director for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, she raised more than $8 million for support and services to patients and cutting-edge research aimed at eradicating blood cancers in our lifetime. 

As a philanthropist, she continues to raise awareness and funds for organizations including LLS, City of Hope, Be The Match and LifeStream Blood Bank. She produces an annual fundraising event called The Survivor Strut - a fashion show where the volunteer models are all cancer survivors.  
In 2018 she published her first book “Lighthearted Life: Simple strategies to live a joy-filled life even in the stormiest times”. Dianne is currently working on her second book, “Journey Through Illness: A guidebook for a trip you never wanted to take” which will be published in early 2021.

Look for her radio program “The Lighthearted Life” launching in 2021 with Women Lead Radio.
