In this episode of Dominate Your Day I welcome Diane Allen, a violinist and speaker known for her TED Talks and her expertise on the flow state.

Diane talks about her journey from being a professionally trained violinist to becoming a keynote speaker, emphasizing the importance of finding one’s flow state to achieve peak performance.

She narrates her personal challenges, including dealing with her son's depression and her mother's Alzheimer's, which led her to leave her musical career temporarily. Diane discovered a profound sense of purpose through public speaking and eventually integrated her music with her speaking engagements, resulting in transformative experiences.

She discusses the neuroscience behind the flow state and shares practical steps for achieving it. Diane's upcoming book, 'Flow: Unlock Your Genius, Love What You Do,' encapsulates her insights on how individuals can increase the time they spend in flow to enhance their performance and well-being.
