WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Great meeting, and a job well done! I had nothing but great feedback on your presentation.

Thank you so much for your fantastic kick-off to our conference. You helped set a high energy, positive tone carried throughout the past couple days.

Thank you for being part of our conference. I thoroughly enjoyed your session!

I’ve worked with several communication “experts” over my career, and Stacey and her team are the only ones who have consistently impressed me with their coaching skills and style. They are supportive, creating a safe (and even fun) environment for testing their techniques and learning how they affect our presence and influence. It would be easy for them to point out our flaws and leave us feeling deflated, but Stacey and her team have mastered the art of helping us see the skills that need work and giving us the confidence to conquer them. Before working with Stacey, I didn’t pay attention to these details and didn’t realize the impact they had on my perceived leadership, and while I’m still a work-in-process, I’ve made (and continue to make!) so many improvements that have enhanced my brand.

After hearing Stacey 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.

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.

You rock Stacey! Thank you for an awesome session today. I am confident that I can take my skills up two notches. Plus your speaking talents are exceptional and an inspiration for me.

Working with Stacey Hanke was extremely beneficial for me both professionally and personally. Over the course of my career, I have had many opportunities to practice and enhance my communications skills. While I knew I would have areas to improve, Stacey really opened my eyes to things that many people (myself included) do on a regular basis that hampers influence. Her specific feedback about things I was doing was invaluable. This included vocal tone, use of filler words and hand gestures, pausing, and eye contact. Stacey helped me become aware of what I was doing and provided specific strategies to address them. Her model of feedback, practice, and accountability was extremely effective to improve these habits that were affecting my communication. Her communication quick start tool was also extremely helpful as a framework to plan and deliver more impactful messages. By working with her, I was able to improve in many areas we addressed. Working with her gave me broader benefits, as well. The process of reflecting on my communication skills and receiving 1/1 coaching resulted in new perspectives on myself, my leadership, and the management of my team. I was able to grow tremendously by working with Stacey.

Within the same day, I could see remarkable results. Your engaging delivery left all of us wanting more!

An engaging program that provides the tools to improve how effective you are in your communication style. Stacey accomplishes this with little time investment, but with thought-provoking tools.

One of the unique skills you and your team bring is the ability to demonstrate each of the communication techniques. It made the material more credible and believable to the audience, since they could see firsthand how effective the communication techniques are. The immediate change in their behavior was amazing. We were fully engaged from start to finish!

This highly interactive workshop focused on powerful skills and techniques to enhance and maximize my abilities to be more effective as a leader and communicator. Within the same day, I – along with my fellow attendees – could see remarkable results by simply applying the learned behaviors. Stacey Hanke, Inc.’s engaging delivery and coaching style left all of us attending the workshop wanting more!

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.

I highly recommend Stacey Hanke, Inc. 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. They demonstrated a unique ability to quickly and easily connect with our group, which established instant credibility in their work. I left with techniques that can be applied immediately in practice.

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.

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.

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.

“The Stacey Hanke, Inc. team demonstrates impeccable professionalism. Stacey and her team work fluidly with us to discuss and meet program objectives. They provide resources and options so we can continue to advance the skills of our workforce talent after the end of the initial session. Their workshop sessions have been described by our participants as the best training they ever received.”

“Anyone interested in improving their ability to influence others should read this book! Stacey Hanke takes years of research and transforms it into a thought-provoking guide that is fun to read and easy to apply. I began putting her advice to work in less than twenty-four hours. As an added bonus, her Monday to Monday® concept inspires me to bring my ‘best self ’ to every future situation.”

“Stacey Hanke offers a simple approach to influencing others that can be adapted to any leadership style. I have worked with Stacey for more than seven years in manufacturing and retail environments and have seen leaders completely change their ability to influence across an organization by utilizing the transformational techniques provided in this book. Thank you, Stacey, for helping leaders everywhere be more effective today and into the future.”

“As an executive, I am frequently required to make presentations, and it is critical that my message be understood and implemented. The techniques shared in Influence Redefined were easy to learn and invaluable for my role as a leader. Now I know what it really takes to influence others to take action. I am more confident and much better positioned to speak publicly and to communicate with my executive committee.”

“Influence Redefined is a must-read! From cover to cover, Stacey Hanke vividly illustrates the critical role of influence for today’s leaders through powerful anecdotes and personal experiences. This material has forever changed the way I think and communicate.”

“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.”

“Stacey Hanke Inc has long been a valued partner in our leadership development initiatives. 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 can unequivocally say that every one of my people has shown significant improvement in their communication skills already thanks to your virtual training.”

“I could not be happier with how the virtual training is going. I’m getting all 50+ salespeople through this year, and we’re changing our coaching forms and common agenda docs we use with clients to use and reinforce what the teams are learning. I’m very glad I decided to make this investment. I think this will pay big dividends for year to come.”
