Diana Dresser

Trial Coach | Sales Consultant

Diana began her career in television production at PBS, where she conducted research and developed scripts for the Emmy Award-winning program NOVA. She spent the next 35 years as a professional actor, director, choreographer, and improvisor at theatres around the country, including major regional companies such as the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, Theatre de la Jeune Lune, and Berkeley Repertory Theatre. For the past decade, she has translated her acting, directing, and improv background into coaching corporate clients in public speaking and presentation skills. This includes on-camera/media training for political figures, Ted Talk development and rehearsal, and client preparation for seminars, board presentations, keynotes, sales meetings, and pitch meetings.

Diana’s passion at Grand Slam Verdicts is finding and developing each client’s unique voice. From brainstorming/storytelling sessions to public speaking skills to connecting authentically with the jury, she uses her performance training and directorial experience to ensure your message lands in a clear, compelling, captivating way.

A native Kansan, Diana now lives in Denver, Colorado with her partner, their two almost grown boys, and two rescue dogs. She’s an avid hiker, plant-lover, college basketball fan, and design enthusiast.
