Meet Jane Hanson of HHH Productions

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jane Hanson

Hi Jane, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I grew up in rural Minnesota — western border of the state on the prairie ; My first career move was as a broadcaster working at a very small TV station in Sioux Falls, SD; I moved to Cedar Rapids, IA very quickly and then was fortunate enough to attract the attention of the NBC Network. I moved to New York City and began as a reporter at WNBC TV at the iconic 30 Rockefeller Plaza. Throughout my career at NBC, I anchored iconic programs like Today in New York and The Today Show, covering pivotal moments like 9/11, Yankees victory parades, Wall Street trends, and Washington politics. My reporting took me around the globe, from the Gobi Desert of Mongolia to the depths below New York City for my award-winning program, Jane’s New York. Most recently I hosted New York Live. Along the way I won nine Emmy Awards Then I decided I was tired of the deadlines, the odd hours, and knew my expertise as a communicator would come in handy — thus was created my coaching business, which brings me frequently to the Phoenix area. I coach C-suite executives across finance, technology, startups, pharmaceuticals, fashion, media, helping them with great presentations, speaking at events worldwide, learning how to speak with confidence internally and externally, and how to tell their story to the media in interviews. Clients also include a diverse range of professionals—from scientists to chefs and hoteliers—helping them communicate with clarity and confidence. And I partner with financial institutions and Private Wealth managers to host seminars and private sessions aimed at enhancing client communication. I am also a contributor to Forbes.com, focusing on business, transitions, leadership and women.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Is it ever smooth? LOL. in my first job, I was the only woman they had ever hired in the news department of their TV station. I had to prove a lot. and that was a theme that continued throughout my broadcast career; frequently being the only woman on the stage or on the scene. Regardless, I thrived and loved what I did and do. Becoming an entrepreneur has also been tough at times; leaving the comfort of a corporation meant I no longer had staff support or mentors to ask for advice. I had create the business plan, fund it all myself, reach out to sell my services, all skills I wasn’t sure possessed. However, I believed that what I had to offer was needed; and that proved to be right. I value those who stood beside me, hired me, and to this day continue to have close relationships with me. I also learned some surprising strengths I had — organization, ability to pivot quickly, using my broadcast editing skills to help people learn what their one clear message is, and using my TV skills to help others understand how to be great when speaking to the outside world.

Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about HHH Productions?
I offer:
Presentation Training: I will work to get you from the worry stage to the thriving-on-stage stage, whether you’re in front of a 1,000-person audience or at a board meeting of 15 people. Or in a meeting. Or simply one-on-one. It’s possible to nail it every single time, you just need some coaching on how to do it.
After training, you’ll notice a major uptick in your level of comfort speaking in front of people. You’ll also understand the finer points of “working the room” and when you might need to change up your message on the go — things that may have eluded you before.
In short, you’ll be a cool and confident speaker no matter the circumstances.
I offer:
Full day sessions
Half day sessions
Two hour sessions
We customize the amount of time spent and budget to meet the needs of individual clients

Media Training
Make your interview shine, no matter the medium.

TV, print, radio, or online: in the age of instant communication, it’s more important than ever that your substance, style, and audience work cohesively — particularly when you might find yourself on camera or the web without intending to be.

Arm yourself with the skills to be successful in any medium so that the impression that sticks is the right one.
Results. We work to make you comfortable in the interview environment. This means you offer a clear and concise message to your audience, answer questions with confidence and ease, and avoid missteps and misspeaking. You’ll learn how to choreograph the interview, no matter where you’re speaking, when, or with whom.

We train for specific interviews, or more generally, to enable you to be successful and improve over time. Customized number of sessions and times to fit your needs

Video Training: how to create and appear in videos for every platform.
I also emcee events, make keynote speeches, moderate panels, whatever you or your organization needs.

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
More and more people will need to learn how to present themselves no matter where how or when. So I see the need greater.
I also believe that great communication will help us become problem solvers, promote excellent leadership, make super connectors who we need to take us into the next level no matter what our profession, our roles, our aspirations. And all of this applies equally to our personal lives — great communication means great families!
