Stacey Hanke

Everything was wonderful! Stacey understood the audience and was very professional. The attendees were beyond pleased to have her as the opening keynote!

Caroline Fabacher, NAHB

Stacey made presenting seem easy and doable enough to where over a week from hearing her speak, I’m still walking the walk while I talk the talk.

She was a defining buzz to the conference and having 30-years of business travel and conference attendance experience, she is easily one of the most captivating and rewarding presenters out there.

She knows what it takes to change the feel of a room and get professionals buzzing about what’s next with excitement, levity, and ownership.

Rebecca Murray, VP Marketing at Goodcents

You made a difference with our audience today and will continue to influence our teams. I can’t overemphasize that what you do matters to leaders working to effectively communicate on a consistent basis.

FOUR great presentations. Super engaging. Forcing the uncomfortable. Really important. Crammed into 2 hours. Over zoom, no less. Quite a mystical feat. Well done Stacey.

Perhaps my single biggest critic is a CFO of a $120m company. He is completely where fun goes to die. Today, he said “that’s the best presentation I’ve ever seen. I’m buying her book.

I absolutely LOVE how you got them to film themselves and then go through the agony of watching themselves. And you were complimented on your ability to explain and SHOW good and bad modeling. Seems so simple…so obvious. Clearly, it’s not. They needed YOU!

Master Chair, Vistage

You influenced me to polish my performance on your spot on, succinct, one hour keynote. Your delivery style is easy to understand as you provide tips for actionable behavior shifts that can be reinforced by colleagues. You taught me how to ask for and receive meaningful feedback quickly. Within the first 10 minutes of your presentation, I had news I could us in my next meeting. Bravo!

Principle, C. Semrad & Associates

You ‘lit up’ the Chicago SHRM Elevate conference. Being in a virtual environment didn’t stop the energy from coming through. When you gain trust and respect from your audience, you can influence in a virtual environment. Pause, say less and speak with your eyes! You show us how. Thanks for an actionable presentation.

People & Culture Business Partner, SHRM

Thank you again for presenting at our PCMA event. The feedback I received after the event was overwhelmingly positive and I think many attendees took away some great advice. I personally shared my takeaways with our CEO when I got back to the office. You were one of the strongest speakers we have had in the past few years.

Strategic Account Man

You were the first person I thought of for the program and everything about the preparation and delivery of your segment was exactly the sort of professionalism I’ve come to expect from you. Without a doubt, your presentation is the one I’ve already gotten the most positive feedback about. Participants were excited for all the actionable steps you gave them. You’ve also mastered conversing and being yourself while online in a way I am jealous of. Thank you again for sharing some of your wealth of knowledge.

Associate Professor, Pomona College Department of Economics

Consistency, Monday to Monday, is a phrase that has woven its way into many of my team’s business engagements these past few years.  Stacey is a change agent, bringing inspiring insights and practical applications to the consistent levels of influence that many aspire to - though may struggle to achieve. 

Influence, when focused on as a key contributor to success, benefits from intentional practice and a commitment to grow. 

Stacey is gifted in both the skills required, and the coaching necessary, to influence in a world of overcrowded communications.

James Blacka, Vice President Global Training, Education & Advocacy

Stacey's insights were exactly what the audience needed—guidance on how to engage on a more meaningful level and to continue fostering excellent client relationships throughout the change journey. The timing could not have been better.

Program Manager, Edward Jones

Stacey presented for the MDRT (an association by and for financial advisors all around the world). She presented for 5,000 members in-person plus online attendees. She was rated as outstanding and ranked in our top 5 among 15 professional speakers. Stacey was one of the most organized, responsible, with great energy speakers we've worked with. She made our task so easy and her topic on leadership and how to influence on a daily basis was full of lots of great information. We were really sad to not be able to give her more time on stage!

MDRT

The positive feedback from this event has been fantastic, and your session was a big part of making the event such a success. Below are what some of the attendees were saying:

- It was very insightful, made me get out of my comfort zone and really analyze the way we’re connecting.
- Energetic, content was spot on and never overwhelming at any point.  The eye contact Stacey made with her audience was authentic and her messaging resonated.
- She was very engaging and clearly practices what she preaches…. Very good!

Senior Coordinator, Education & Learning Services & Attendees, Financial & Insurance Conference Professionals

Stacey was very purposeful in asking how she could have the greatest impact on our team.  Her thoughtful and dynamic approach led to tremendous engagement with the team during her time on stage and in the days and weeks that followed.  Stacey’s practical tips for improving communication skills left the team energized and with easy to follow steps moving forward.  Many of our associates have taken those tips and incorporated them into their ongoing routines – leading to the improved skills Stacey described. 

Stacey is a great partner who we look forward to working with in the future.  I highly recommend her for teams who are looking to improve communication skills in real-world, meaningful ways!  

Craig A. Hawley, VP of Sales

Your presentation was one of the best I’ve been to on the topic as well. I took so much from your presentation and plan to continue practicing and improving going forward (I am looking at my post-it reminders for this week as we speak)!

Stacey spoke at GAMA International Lamp taking about communicating with influence, self-awareness and personal branding. She spoke with passion and gave immediate actions that can be implemented right now. She was the best speaker and most influential person at the entire conference. Would recommend her to any organization that deals with employee and leadership development. Also, any organization and association that deals in communication will find her a valuable resource.

Greg Holman, VP - Specialty Teams

Your presentation gave me a way to structure my communication interactions in a repeatable, effective way. It definitely called out key “blocks” to build upon and after getting comfortable with one to make sure I continue to focus on new “blocks.” Recording yourself, working on pausing and voice inflection has made an immediate impact on my calls so far.

Regional Wholesaler, Nationwide

We got wonderful feedback from the teams and they were very impressed with your guidance. We are excited to continue the conversation through practical tips you shared!

Global Partner Sales Lead, Microsoft

Your session was game changing since it influences the behavior of the entire sales organization on every call and interaction. Thank you for providing the rising tide. Now………time for me to practice!

All field sales professionals are going to be recording and providing feedback each day for the next week. I’ve been to many sales meetings, and this was the first a keynote speaker has influenced the field to take action the next week. Thank you for effectively making a difference.

VP, American Airlines

Even though it was virtual, you made me feel so connected to you in a more personal way than many other classes I have attended. It was like you were right in the room with me. I greatly appreciate the time you took to share your experience and insights into how we should keep on learning and understanding the greatness of our industry and the challenges we all are facing at this time, communicating with influence is a must! Your presentation was both informative and practical and has inspired me to grow both, professionally and personally, I accepted the challenge and already have applied it to my day. I call it "my daily dose of Stacey.
