People are talking about Fresh Dialogues….

On February 2nd, 2011, Alison van Diggelen interviewed best selling author and environmentalist, John Robbins at the Commonwealth Club, Silicon Valley

“Alison van Diggelen is a marvelously engaging interviewer who brings genuine curiosity, insightful perceptions and stimulating information to the dialogue.  I’ve been a guest on many national shows, and been interviewed by Oprah, Terry Gross and many others of national renown.  Alison is fully in their class.  She is a true master of the art of conversation.” John Robbins

“If the sign of a truly sophisticated interviewer is the ability to pursue a structured agenda and make the resulting dialogue look like a completely natural conversation, then this describes Alison to a T. She did a superb job with Guy Kawasaki before a full house at UCSC Extension in Silicon Valley.”

“Alison challenges, stimulates and gets to the heart of the matter. Whether it’s green entrepreneurship or Silicon Valley trends, Alison knows what she’s talking about and engages at a high level. I could have talked with her all day but I had to get back to tweeting.”
