Send us a text

In today’s hybrid work world where we are sometimes working via Zoom, sometimes from work, and sometimes from our home basement, it is imperative that we are on top of our communication game so we can represent ourselves well, enhance our presence, and resonate with any audience we might be in front of. 

My special guest, Jane Hanson has spent over 30 years using the lessons she has learned in her broadcast journalism career to help people communicate better.  You will learn lots of communication tips from Jane in this episode, which is essentially a masterclass in speaking effectively.

You’re also going to hear how Jane came to New York three decades ago to join the NBC networks. She began as an anchor and correspondent for WNBC New York.  In 1988, Jane was named co-anchor of “Today in New York.”  Later, she became the station’s primary anchor for local programming and the host of “Jane’s New York.”  She covered events ranging from the tragedy of 9/11 to the joy of the Yankees’ victory parades to Wall Street and Washington; she has interviewed presidents, business magnates, prisoners, and celebrities and has won 9 Emmy awards as well.
