Corporate Training
Beyond Awareness
Recognising that people think, work and process differently is one thing. Knowing what to do with that day to day is another.
My training sessions go beyond definitions and theory to explore what sits beneath behaviour, communication, performance and burnout, giving people practical ways to understand themselves and each other, and adapt how they communicate and collaborate.
Topics include:
Neurodiversity at Work
Neurodivergent Burnout
Burnout & Sustainable High Performance
Unconscious Bias
Communication & Psychological Safety
About Hannah
I’m a corporate trainer, speaker and coach specialising in neurodiversity, burnout and sustainable high performance.
My work draws on neuroscience, psychology, nervous system science and lived experience to help organisations better understand their people - and what they need to perform at their best.
I’ve delivered training and workshops for organisations including Microsoft, Axon, EY, Cambridge University, the NHS and the Civil Service, with a focus on making complex subjects accessible, relevant and genuinely useful.
Before moving into this work over a decade ago, I built my career as a professional musician - an experience that gave me a very personal understanding of performance, pressure and what it takes to do your best work when the stakes are high.
Client Testimonials
“What stood out most was how safe Hannah made the conversation feel. Burnout can be such a personal and often invisible struggle, yet she created a space where people felt understood rather than judged. That is a rare gift.
I’ve worked with many speakers over the years, and what makes Hannah’s sessions special is that people leave not only feeling informed, but also feeling lighter, more hopeful and equipped with something practical they can immediately use.”
Microsoft
"Hannah's Unconscious Bias training was one of the highest rated external trainings of the year! Her approachable style and depth of knowledge created open, thought-provoking conversations that colleagues found really valuable. I wholeheartedly recommend her sessions."
Madano
“Hannah is incredibly good at putting words to the neurodivergent experience. The training really spoke to me both personally and professionally and helped me understand myself better and less harshly. Probably the best training/learning I’ve attended in a long time - I’d like the whole organisation to experience it.”
