Keynotes

Invest in your company and enhance your team’s ability to communicate with influence

 
 

Coming from an entrepreneurial upbringing, Stacey learned early on how we consistently show up and interact determines our success in our organizations and in our lives. Starting with a career in voice-over, she quickly realized how every word matters - every movement of your body matters and every sound you make matters (volume, tone and inflection). All of these combined determines who listens, who stays connected with you, who believes you and then acts on your recommendation.

Stacey then jumped into the corporate world as a trainer for Fortune 500 companies, training every possible topic from motivation to customer service to leadership. She traveled internationally researching the difference between a leader who is influential versus a leader who’s simply a good communicator.

Today, Stacey is the CEO of a highly sought-after consulting and training company where she mentors leaders who want to ensure their employees perceive them as an influential leader – those who are working towards a promotion – and sales professionals to ensure their message and style resonates with their clients.

As a thought leader she has been a featured guest on media outlets including: The New York Times, Forbes, Entrepreneur, Thrive, SmartMoney Magazine, The Economist and Business Week. Her client list is vast: FedEx, McDonalds, Google, Kraft Heinz, Nationwide, American Express, Discover and Oracle. Her knowledge leading diverse, high-level teams makes her a sought-after speaker and consultant and she has inspired thousands around the world through her ability to connect with an audience and one-on-one.

Her 19 years of studying influence across cultures and industries, leading large corporate teams makes her the perfect fit for organizations large and small who are ready to influence on a consistent basis. Clients hire Stacey because of her implementable strategies that help leaders get to the point, communicate with confidence and credibility, to build trust and deliver messages that drive action, creating lasting results.

Because an important focus for us is helping our established and emerging leaders refine their influence skills, the Stacey Hanke Inc programs play an important role in our strategy.

  • “I will be honest, I was nervous about how effective this course would be, given it was 100% virtual. The instructor did a wonderful job of keeping participants engaged and active despite us all being at different locations and having the "itch" to check-in on work.”

  • I came in skeptical, believing this was just another two-day seminar that was impinging on my already full plate of work.  I spent two of the most worthwhile days of my career. I learned more about myself in two days than I would have ever believed possible. I am truly appreciative for having had the opportunity to see how small changes and stepping out of my comfort zone could result in such a huge impact.

  • I was expecting a very boring, lecture-type seminar giving me presentation mechanics and low-value minutiae. It was far from that. The seminar was interactive, energetic, challenging and, dare I say, fun! I was extremely surprised by how much I was able to improve in just two days. The taping of presentations and one-on-one coaching was extremely helpful. Great investment of my time and my company’s resources.

  • Stacey is a top-notch public-speaking coach and teacher. She and her team have a solid and proven method for teaching us how to be the best communicators we can be. I experienced that training first-hand and continue to see tangible improvements in my speaking style and methods. Her strategies work, and as a result, we have had her return a number of times to share her training methods with as many people as we can at here at Johnson Controls. I highly recommend her and her team.

They’re clearly talented and experienced communication experts. They bring an effective approach to improving the skills of their clients without attempting to change their client’s communication style.

  • Thanks to your practical skills and techniques on enhancing my communication, my panel discussion went great! Wow, as I sat throughout the morning and watched the other panels I noticed so many distractions and problems as these individuals spoke. Your tips helped immensely, and helped me to convey confidence and knowledge in what I was speaking about.

  • As a detail-oriented engineer, my communication skills need a lot of polishing. Stacey Hanke, Inc. quickly pointed out my strengths and yet focused on the areas where I could improve to further engage my audience. For those like me, who present or speak only on occasion, this training is a must. The class is fun and is the first step in gaining the confidence you need to deliver your thoughts and to make your point. In this class, I have learned that even the most confident speakers need to prepare their materials and focus on what is important. At Wrigley, this training is one example where everyone, at any age or experience level, can further develop their job skills.
