Stacey Hanke Inc.

EXECUTIVE MENTORING TESTIMONIALS

“I always prided myself of being a good speaker, until I had a few coaching sessions with Stacey.  I learned that what separates a good speaker from a great speaker can be simple as steady eye contact and pause between sentences.  Since English is not my first language, I sometimes find pronouncing certain words very difficult, especially front of a large audience.  Since I learned to pause, not only the words became easier to pronounce, the audience also had time to adjust to my accent.  I only wish that I had her coaching sessions earlier in my career.  It could have been a game changer in my career.”

As a result of your commitment to my success, I’ve discovered the “how to’s” of engaging and connecting with my listeners, I’m able to develop and deliver a more concise, clear and organized message and I’ve identified the critical components to mastering PowerPoint. Not only did I see significant changes in my communication behavior but I’ve received positive feedback from my peers.

“Thank you very much for your presentation, and for the book!  (I finished reading it before my plane left on Saturday afternoon.)  It was a very easy read and I got a LOT out of it!  It’s a wonderful reference that I’ll be going back to in the future!  I now feel more confident in my ability to give an interesting and informative talk without scripting the entire thing.  It triggered so many thoughts and strategies that I spent 2 hours last night brainstorming and writing everything down.  I can’t wait to see what happens next!”
