"We had Hannah come and speak to a combined Board and Senior
Managers meeting of a number of organisations and it was a fantastic
night. She entertained us and also taught skills that were easy to
remember.
It is always hard to find a speaker who will appeal to a wide cross
section and Hannah delivered on this. Feedback was extremely
positive and one organisation told me that they had changed the way
they do things operationally, as a result of Hannah’s input.
A number of Board members, who are well used to hearing speakers,
told me that it was one of the best talks they had heard – important
information conveyed in an effective way."—Equip"Your entertaining and energetic presentation on ‘Reputation Branding’
was enjoyed by all and the key messages were well received. Birthright New
Zealand will be working on our ‘reputation megaphone’ over the next
year.
Thank you for your support during the planning of the conference, your
flexibility on the day, and your thoughts and advice on appointing a
patron."—BirthrightHannah rated very highly with the delegates at the conference scoring 9.19 out of 10 from the

Key Note speakers at this conference.
Hannah has a very kind manner which makes her incredibly approachable. She was a pleasure to
work with and I would have no hesitation recommending her to other conference organisers.—Harding Consultants
