Diana Jordan is an award-winning keynote speaker, comedian, author and breast cancer survivor. She takes the heavy stuff, like burnout, healthcare stress and personal adversity, and turns it into an hour people remember long after the event.

Before the keynote circuit she built a stand-up career on film, TV and stages from Radio City Music Hall to the Kennedy Center, and entertained troops in Asia and Germany. Today healthcare groups are her favorite crowd, because she has been on the patient side too.
