About our Presenter:

Dianne Barton is the Founder and President of Performance Solutions, Inc. As a former banker, her services, which include a broad scope including strategic planning, leadership and management development, regulatory and compliance implementations, retail growth strategies and sales & services culture development, are recognized as “real world banking solutions”.

Dianne’s training programs are designed to “close the gap” between banks’ needs and employees’ skills. A philosophy of experiential learning and participant involvement in training led to her “TELL-SHOW-DO” training method that is skill based rather than theory based. The training limits lecture discussion to a maximum of 7-9 minutes, relying on active, high energy, “hands on” approach by the participants.
