Diane Hamilton

@dianehamilton

I help organizations measure and grow curiosity to drive innovation, engagement, and performance.

United States
Message

I'm the founder and CEO of Tonerra, where I help organizations turn curiosity into a measurable business asset through speaking, training, assessment, and consulting. I created the Curiosity Code Index® and Perception Power Index to identify factors shaping curiosity, innovation, engagement, and productivity.

I've brought this work to organizations including Novartis, Verizon, U.S. Bank, LinkedIn, Disney, Citibank, Nasdaq, and Unilever. I also serve as Duke Corporate Education faculty, contribute to Forbes, and draw on interviews with thousands of leaders from my nationally syndicated radio show.
