KEYNOTE SPEAKING
“Poor communication within any organization will lead to mediocrity or failure. Leaders that can effectively communicate their objectives can harness the energy of the workforce to achieve organizational success. Stacey’s training program gives her students the tools and confidence to deliver hard-hitting concise messages. The executive coaching Stacey provides her clients will enhance both their personal and professional lives.”

“I have attended many conventions and conferences each year over my 28 year veterinary career. In addition I have organized veterinary conferences for almost 10 years. As a result I have heard a large number of speakers. I have had the good fortune to hear Stacey Hanke twice this year. She is without a doubt one of the most dynamic and engaging speakers I have heard for some time. Her information on communication skills is topical, pertinent and immediately useful. She is able to connect with her audience instantly and her message will resonate with them long after her presentation is finished.”

“Stacey not only provides clear, valuable instruction in a way all attendees find accessible, but she also actively practices every skill she teaches. I have been a trainer for 17 years and I can honestly say that I have never experienced the level of skill and professionalism that Stacey possesses and passes on to each attendee.”

“It is not only the powerful content delivered but also Stacey brings such sincerity, enthusiasm and an incredible ability to model the desired behavior in a re-creatable fashion. She immediately formed a safe learning environment for our Veterinary Advisory Council members. I have already witnessed positive results specifically with posture enhancements and complete visual aid changes. And what is more important each has a heightened sense of awareness as they communicate in formal settings and with their clients. Each attendee has expressed this session was the “BEST AT MAKING IT REAL AND DOABLE”.

“From our “Experience Learning Live Conferences” to our “CUNA Volunteer Institutes” to the “in-house training” you’ve done for our CUNA staff, you consistently deliver great programs. What impresses me are that your presentations are full of energy and interaction, combined with solid substance and curriculum that leaves attendees with the tools and “next steps” to apply their new-found skills to both their professional and personal lives. I would highly recommend you to any organization looking to improve their communication and presentation skills.”

“I first saw Stacey in action at the International Association of Business Communicators and was knocked out. For an hour she held all of us in rapt attention as she demonstrated and dissected the shortcomings and gaffs AND the consequences of our bad communication habits. VERY entertaining and painfully enlightening. On my radio show she is one of the most engaging of guests practicing what she teaches. I learn something every time. Engaging, smart and polished, Stacey is a true professional and I look forward to the next time she’ll be on my show.”

“Stacey spoke to a standing room only group of 220 at the Executive Network Group of Greater Chicago regarding the effective use of body language and verbal communication for influencing others. She was so well received, we brought her back for a 2.5 hour skills workshop, which was was another packed room. Her words, practical examples, and practice techniques for effective interviewing and communications were extremely well received by our group of six figure executives in transition. Everyone is now acutely aware of how words and gestures affect ones ability to connect and influence others, especially in an interviewing situation. What a talent!!”

“At Kirkwood Training and Outreach Services we pride ourselves in results-oriented professional development. Stacey exceeded our high expectations. She embodies the art of communication and leads by example. Our corporate clients raved about her session. Immediately, our clients were able to employ Stacey’s practical communication methods with ease. Her facilitation style fosters a comfortable and inspiring atmosphere where people are compelled to engage in more effective communication methods. We are looking forward to the working with her again!”

“I know what you’re thinking. “Is it wrong to not feel pumped about attending another all-day seminar that involves sitting in a freezing cold conference room full of strangers and actually PARTICIPATING?” It’s not wrong to feel that way, unless your seminar is being led by Stacey Hanke. This is one smart, warm, funny lady who will teach you how to more effectively influence others through your communication. Yes, you will participate. But Stacey makes it painless. Regardless of your experience level, you’ll find this a day well spent.”

“Not only was your genuine warmth and friendliness appreciated, but the quality of the material you presented was outstanding. Here is what just some of our meeting professional attendees had to say about the workshop you delivered on Building Influence and Credibility through Strategic Communication:
Great fun, solid information and definitely worth the time
Good information that can be applied immediately in many areas.
The best speaker I’ve seen/heard in years!!!
“With your high level of professionalism combined with your personable style, you are a meeting planners dream to work with.”

“Stacey captured the attention of the audience from the moment she stepped on stage, and kept everyone inspired throughout the session. She engaged people’s imagination, provoked a new level of conscientiousness, and provided practical tips for influencing others. Our members and leaders are better equipped to ‘get to the table’ and ‘speak to be heard’. Stacey created a buzz that was felt throughout the conference.”

“I was so very happy to meet Stacey during the Iowa Women’s Leadership Conference! Ever since Day 1, her speaker presentation has been so beneficial to me. I’ve been practicing her communication tips of maintain eye contact, minimizing non-words and recognizing my presence as a core part of my message. Now, my confidence has become the heralding foot I put forward every time I speak in public. In fact, the very next day after I heard Stacey at the conference, I gave an impromptu interview about winning the 2009 IWLC Bankers Trust scholarship. Rather than become nervous–do you know what the first thing I did was? I became conscious of my hands as communication tools! Stacey is a motivating force that you will do well to introduce to your organization.”

“As a result of Stacey’s session I have witnessed personal communication and confidence improvements over the last several weeks. For example; I have become so cognizant of my body language, pausing and eye connection and have used the Communication Quick Start© for conversations with our CFO and clients. This tool has been a hit with communicating my message to clients and influencing action that get results. Thank you for exceeding every expectation I had, and for making an impact. I am truly grateful.”

“The reason we asked Stacey to present at our Iowa Women’s Conference again this year was due to the high marks she received in 2009. At this year’s conference, she again delivered strong! The comments from many of the workshop participants pointed to Stacey’s high energy, terrific presentation skills and specific take-away action items to focus on. I heard many people say they would love to have Stacey come and work in their organizations. (My role was part of the planning committee for the conference).”

“I just wanted to thank you as I found you, and your seminar, incredibly inspiring. In the few short weeks since you came to our agency, I’ve noticed a change in myself, and the ways others respond to me, both at work and at home. I feel I have greater control when I speak and I get less nervous. It’s clear that you’ve not only helped equip me with the tools I need to communicate more clearly, you’ve also instilled me with greater confidence. I think everyone could benefit from your teachings.”
