I believe in the power of dreams – especially yours! As a strategist and former professor, nothing get me more excited than helping passionate businesses, nonprofits, and changemakers transform their big ideas into real-world success.
My approach? It’s all about building genuine relationships and creating practical strategies that work for YOU. Think of me as your experienced guide and cheerleader rolled into one. I’ll share battle-tested knowledge from my years of business experience, while making sure you feel supported and empowered every step of the way.
Here’s what makes working with me different:

• We’ll focus on action, not just theory
• You’ll learn valuable skills you can use forever
• We’ll celebrate progress while staying accountable to goals
• You’ll gain confidence along with competence
One of my favorite sayings is “Teamwork makes the dreamwork!” (Yes, I say it often, and proudly!) Because I truly believe we’re better together. When you surround yourself with people who believe in you and your vision, amazing things happen.
Your business success isn’t just about profits – it’s about creating positive impact, building your legacy, and designing the lifestyle you dream of for yourself and your family. Let’s make it happen, together.

Our Mission
“Empowering mission-driven entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofits to achieve high-impact goals by providing fractional chief strategy officer expertise, strategic networking, and marketing guidance, while fostering authentic connections and amplifying their positive impact in the world.”
Values & Beliefs
It's All About Relationships
It’s all about developing relationships, whether that’s personal or professional. My focus is on connecting you to who you want to know, hence the title Networking Diva. My role in your life depends on what you need whether that’s strategy, marketing, sale, networking, or strategic partnerships.
My goal is for us to build a relationship based on mutual trust and respect so that no matter the season, you know I’m here for you. People come into our life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. I’m here to serve wherever you are in your journey.
Professional Relationships
We want you to be successful. We connect business owners to synergy partners, referral partners, and to their potential clients. We also try to connect professionals to employment opportunities and recruiters.
We connect you with whoever we think will have a positive impact on your life which may include financial planners, CPAs, executive coaches, life coaches, marriage coaches, and so much more.
When you’re financially, emotionally, and spiritually stable, everything else gets a little bit easier.
Client & Customer Relationships
We help you build relationships with potential and current clients through marketing. Marketing is so much more than just a social media post or an ad. It’s about identifying, understanding, relating to and engaging with your ideal client and then nurturing that relationship so that you’ve gathered loyal, consistent clients who appreciate you and want what you have to offer.
Personal Relationships
Life is too short. Build relationships with those who are important to you – family, friends, colleagues.
Personal growth helps us to appreciate and manage life so that it’s more enjoyable. How’s your work-life balance? Ask me for recommendations on who can help you create the life you want to live.

From Professor to Purpose: The Networking Diva’s Journey
When excellence calls, you answer. That’s what I did as a college professor, pouring my heart into communication courses and leading our speech and debate team to victory. I thrived on cultivating talent and igniting potential in others. But like many women, I faced the delicate dance of career and motherhood.
I chose to step away from academia to raise my boys – a privilege I cherish deeply. But mothers know: we raise our children to soar. And when they spread their wings, we’re called to rediscover our own.

Life has a way of revealing your true path, even through detours. A brief venture into credit card processing taught me something invaluable: sometimes knowing what you don’t want is the compass pointing to what you do want.
What emerged was crystal clear: I came alive in the art of connection. In every professional interaction, I found myself naturally coaching others on communication, networking, and strategy. The universe was sending a message – it was time to transform this gift into a mission.
Thus, The Networking Diva was born. Not just as a business coach, but as a strategic partner helping mission-driven entrepreneurs and organizations amplify their impact. We’ve crafted a unique approach that weaves together business strategy, marketing excellence, and authentic yet strategic networking – because true success is about building relationships that matter.
Today, I’ve partnered with an incredible team of professionals, each bringing their unique genius to serve our clients. Together, we’re a force for positive change, empowering those who dare to make a difference through our tools, resources, and guidance.
This isn’t just business. It’s purpose in action.
Gold President’s Volunteer Service Award
In 2021, Christine Deane received a gold medal for serving the Veteran community
Proud Patriot & Veteran Advocate
Service to country runs deep in my DNA. From my grandfather’s dedication in the Marine Corps to my uncle’s Army service, through my years as a military spouse, and watching my youngest son serve in the Air Force – my family’s military legacy stretches back to the Civil War. This heritage isn’t just history; it’s a living commitment that shapes who I am and how I serve others.
Today, I’m honored to continue supporting our military community through my role on the Board of Directors for The Veterans Ranch. My past service as a Founding Board Member of the DFW Veterans Chamber of Commerce has only strengthened my commitment to veteran success.
It’s my honor to help build bridges within the veteran community. Every time I meet a veteran entrepreneur or business leader, I’m passionate about creating meaningful connections – whether local, national, or global. Because when veterans support veterans, incredible things happen.
For My Fellow Patriots:
• Are you a veteran transitioning to entrepreneurship?
• Looking to expand your veteran business network?
• Want to connect with veteran-friendly organizations?
• Interested in veteran business opportunities?
Let’s talk about how we can strengthen the veteran business community together. Your service matters, and your success matters even more.
My Family Life
My boys grew up (how dare they?!). I gave the oldest to his wife and now we have a delightful redheaded grandson. My youngest I gave to Uncle Sam and he recently finished 6 years in the Air Force. They’re all happily residing in California. Must be time for another visit 🙂
When I’m not working, my fiance and two doodles keep me busy in the DFW area of Texas.
