The most compelling part of your
presentation is the person giving it.
That person is you.
I’m Hannah, a public speaking and presentation coach. My whole deal? Reuniting professionals with the personality that gets severed out of them somewhere between slide 47 and “let’s circle back on that.”
Right now, your presentation shows up in a rigid, starched suit called the ‘company standard’.
It’s a 9,003-page deck with more verses than the Bible. 2 minutes in, and you’ve lost the back row. (The second row too. Honestly…yourself as well.)
And body language? You’re stiffer than a cadaver in the morgue from the shoulders up – and as we say in Show Biz, that’s not persuasive, sweetie.
The word everyone reaches for is confidence. “I just want to feel confident when I present.” Totally understandable. But confidence is a feeling, and feelings are fleeting. What you’re actually looking for is the ability to speak like yourself, and not the polished-to-oblivion version who opens up with “I’m excited to be here today” through gritted teeth and fear. We’re excavating the version of you people are still quoting 3 days after you’ve left the room.
That’s what I do.
Your personality belongs in your presentations. Always.
I’ve spent 20 years helping professionals across the globe stop presenting like they’ve swallowed a company handbook, and start showing up as themselves.
You’re the spark that seals the deal, closes the sale, secures the project, changes C-suite minds and gets stifled laughs and rounds of applause.
Not the deck. Not the data. Not the framework your company has been using since 2009. You.
The one who explains things in unexpectedly perfect analogies. The one who has everyone leaning in and half-smiling despite themselves. The one who walks into a boardroom as themselves and makes the whole room think, “Why the hell is this person NOT running our entire division with letters before their name and a bigger paycheck?”
The best results happen when you stop trying to embody the glorified Corporate American Speaker and start amplifying who you already are.
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” isn’t just a motivational poster in your therapist’s waiting room.
It’s biology.
Your brain is full of thinking highways – and public speaking? That’s the autobahn. Most people white-knucke it in the wrong lane, hit every mental roadblock and wonder why they “completely blanked” or “blacked out a little” mid-presentation.
My job is to help you build a new route. One where you’re gloriously present and excited to present. Where you default to your strengths, show up as yourself, and get the positive feedback loop your presentations deserve.
Your next presentation should be the one they’re still talking about weeks later
You show up as yourself. You open your presentation with a question that gets every single person’s hand in the air. The room — walls included — leans in to see what you do next. People are smiling. Laughing. Asking questions. Engaged. And this is what happens when a professional like you works with a professional like me.
Let’s give them something worth staying awake for.
So who am I to teach this?
From Corporate Cubicles to Mountain Tops
I speak English and Corporate America.
I’ve sold car insurance to people who already had car insurance (truly a sport), health insurance, and military-tactical hunting and trail-running footwear. Every role had one job: connect fast and persuade. I’m a Fortune 500 veteran, and I know what makes these rooms tick and how to help you own them.
Awesome at the work. Still working on the room
Engineers, consultants, the VP of outdoor footwear marketing, you could know your subject inside out and still lose the room the moment someone says, “the floor is yours.” The cool thing? Excellent presentations all share the same threads. I just help weave together you + your content so they’re a perfect blend.
Out of office: up a mountain
When I’m not in the office, you can’t keep me away from the mountains. No matter the season, I’m running around them, climbing up them, and skiing down them. Usually, I have my sidekick supreme (Maggie, border collie mix) with me. You’ll meet her on our virtual calls.
I highly recommend Hannah to anyone who has to give presentations, is in sales, or wants to be an effective storyteller.
My favorite thing about Hannah’s approach is that she helps everyone present in a way that is authentically them using their experiences and their personality as the foundation and working from there. Hannah’s is the most customized approach I’ve ever seen and really “sticks” and provides incredible results.

A few things you should know before we talk
This is not a one-and-done shop
Think of me as your
personal trainer for public speaking. I can’t deadlift for you, but I can show you how and help you get stronger. One session won’t undo a decade of presentation habits. We’ll meet more than once. This is
non-negotiable.
A person-first approach
I don’t have a patented system to shove down your throat. Public speaking is an art. It is categorically not one-size-fits-all. What we build together is going to look like you, not a LinkedIn thought-leadership template from 2018.
I only work with people who actually present
If public speaking and presenting aren’t part of your job, I’m not your person. What I do only delivers results when we apply it directly to your real work.
The presentation was an absolute hit and set me up
for success and newfound respect from my colleagues who were watching me step into a new leadership role.
I had a big presentation coming up, my first in a new director-level position for me, and I knew I had to know it out of the park…She helped me build a strong outline and workshopped not only the script, but also building out the slides right alongside me…she was my biggest cheerleader and confidence builder.
