We understand from Hannah that she does not usually do dinner presentations but we had a couple of meetings with her in the months before the conference and came up with a format that worked very well.  She broke her presentation into three segments with a different key point to each part.  This meant that people could think about and discuss each message over the following course.  Hannah spoke on her specialist topic, reputation branding.  Hannah tailored her presentation to the importance of one's personal brand and reputation.  She prepared meticulously beforehand and her presentation was informative, energetic and engaging on the night.  Feedback we received subsequently includes:

• very much enjoyed Hannah's presenation
• awesome night - Hannah Samuel was excellent!
• Hannah had an excellent presentation, very engaging
• Enjoyed the speaker - good mix of fun and also stuff to think about
• Excellent, very good finish to the day.  Food was fantastic, speaker even better. A great night
• Hannah Samuel is amazing!  What a fantastic speaker.  I could have listened to her all night!

Hannah Samuel had been personally recommended to us and we were thrilled with the response to the address she gave from those who heard her speak.  Her audience included insurance delegates from VERO, NZI, Lumley and QBE and insurance brokers from Crombie Lockwood, Rothbury's and ACM Ahlers, to name but a few.   Not only did Hannah deliver on the day it was also a pleasure dealing with her leading up to the event.  She was professional, friendly, approachable, enthusiastic and made our lives and the lives of the conference organisers, easy.  She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!  Hannah was exceptional and she would be right up there in terms of who might spring to mind if I was asked to recommend a top professional speaker.  Engaging, entertaining and an absolute professional, I have no hesitation in recommending her.

I have been impressed with Hannah Samuel's insights, expertise and ability to communicate and connect with people in creative and engaging ways. We invited Hannah to highlight the importance of reputation for our franchisees - her presentation was very well received and gave everyone present real food-for-thought in terms of how reputation can be damaged and enhanced particularly in the franchise environment.  Hannah used solid examples that were relevant to us and with appropriate wit and humour!  She stimulated and encouraged useful debate and enabled everyone to contribute in ways they felt comfortable with. Her workshop session enabled us to focus on high priority areas within our business in terms of reputation branding and building and maintaining trust, and generated excellent ideas at both outlet and national level.  We were delighted with Hannah's contribution and as such invited her to speak at our National Conference.  I have no hesitation in recommending Hannah to anyone wishing to engage a high energy engaging and truly professional speaker.  She brings a real freshness to an event and connects with attendees in a 'feel-good' way that ensures they have real take-away value and enjoy what she has to say and how she says it.  We look forward to continuing our association with Hannah and using her hints, tips and expertise to further enhance Armstrong's reputation and competitive edge.
