BIO / DIANDRA FORD-WING
Diandra Ford-Wing is a writer, speaker, and former technology Sales Director whose work centers on the transformative power of humanity in leadership. With a career leading Sales and Customer Success, she has built a reputation for combining data-driven strategy with deep emotional intelligence—proving that compassion and performance are not opposites, but allies.
Diandra’s writing and thought leadership explore grief, resilience, identity, and the unspoken emotional weight professionals carry into their work. After experiencing profound personal loss while navigating a high-pressure corporate environment, Diandra began advocating for workplaces to become grief-literate: able to acknowledge, support, and empower employees through life’s hardest moments.
Diandra challenges organizations and learning institutions to evolve beyond outdated bereavement norms and to reimagine what true support looks like in modern workplaces. Diandra speaks to HR leaders, executive teams, college and universities, and creative communities about storytelling, leadership, emotional well-being, and building cultures where people can show up fully human.
She brings warmth, clarity, and a steady, grounding presence to every stage, leaving audiences with both practical tools and a renewed sense of what it means to lead with heart.
