Claire Diaz Ortiz

Claire Díaz-Ortiz is an author, speaker and technology innovator who has been named one of the 100 Most Creative People in Business by Fast Company. Claire was an early employee at Twitter, where she was hired to lead social innovation and where she still works today.

In Claire’s work, she has been called everything from “The Woman Who Got the Pope on Twitter” (Wired) and “Twitter’s Pontiff Recruitment Chief” (The Washington Post) to a “Force for Good” (Forbes) and “One of the Most Generous in Social Media” (Fast Company).

Claire is the author of several books, including Twitter for Good: Change the World, One Tweet at a Time, which explores the TWEET model framework she is known for developing to help organizations and individuals best excel on Twitter. She has also written Greater Expectations: Succeed (and Stay Sane) in an On-Demand, All-Access, Always-On Age, a handful of ebooks, and Hope Runs: An American Tourist, A Kenyan Boy, a Journey of Redemption.

She is a frequent international speaker on business, innovation, and social media at such diverse conferences as South by Southwest, The Mashable Social Good Summit, BlogWorld, Personal Democracy Forum, and United Nations events.

Her popular business blog boasts more than 100,000 monthly readers. She is also a LinkedIn Influencer, one of 300 hundred global leaders chosen to provide original content for the LinkedIn platform.

Claire holds an MBA from Oxford University, where she was a Skoll Foundation Scholar for Social Entrepreneurship, and has a BA and an MA in Anthropology from Stanford University.

She is the co-founder of Hope Runs, a non-profit organization operating in AIDS orphanages in Kenya. Claire also owns Saving Money Media, a six-year old network of websites that help families live better on less.

She has appeared widely in major television and print news sources like CNN, BBC, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Fortune, Forbes, Wired and many others.

Claire has lived on four continents and traveled to more than fifty countries. She used to run marathons, but now it makes her tired just to think about that.

She is a foster mom to a Kenyan teen, an extreme introvert, and a crazy reader (she reads 200 books a year). She also boasts an unnatural passion for tiny houses and rooibos tea.

Greater Expectations: Succeed (and Stay Sane) in an On-Demand, All-Access, Always-On Age

DODGE BURNOUT AND SET YOURSELF UP FOR SUCCESS. Greater Expectations is for anyone who's felt the Pressure to be all things to all people. Every morning you wake up to a state of digital overwhelm. You're still in bed and you reach for your phone; you scan the day's schedule, the night's build-up of news and texts and emails and your ever-mounting to-do list. It's not even 8 a.m. and you're already burned out. It doesn't have to be this way. Many of the world's most successful people have one thing in common, as simple as it is profound: They have established a routine. And you can do the same. We live in a time of greater expectations---we can't escape that. But we can be intentional about our response. These pages will show you how to reorder your days---and by extension, your life.

  Hope Runs: An American Tourist, a Kenyan Boy, a Journey of Redemption
Hope Runs: An American Tourist, a Kenyan Boy, a Journey of Redemption

Sammy Ikua Gachagua had lost his father to illness, his mother to abandonment, and his home to poverty. By age ten, he was living in a shack with seven other children and very little food. He entered an orphanage seeing it as a miracle with three meals a day, a bed to sleep in, and clothes on his back. When Claire Diaz-Ortiz arrived in Kenya at the end of an around-the-world journey, she decided to stay the night, climb Mt. Kenya, then head back home. She entered an orphanage seeing it as little more than a free place to spend the night before her mountain trek. God had other plans. Hope Runs is the emotional story of an American tourist, a Kenyan orphan, and the day that would change the course of both of their lives forever. It's about what it means to live in the now when the world is falling down around you. It's about what it means to hope for the things you cannot see. Most of all, it's about how God can change your life in the blink of an eye.
