Bio
Cindy Brown
It feels a little silly to call Kiersten a utility player, given her skills with a tool belt, so she takes the title to a whole new level. She is the quintessential entrepreneur and can do it all. If there's something she needs to complete that she's never done before, she'll learn how to tackle it and even devise a new way to do it more efficiently and elegantly. Kiersten is an outstanding writer and connects with her audience through adept storytelling and beautiful visuals she creates. She understands how to write for varied audiences, how best to leverage social media and other outlets to get the story out, and how to speak on behalf of a brand. Kiersten has written speeches and presentations for executive leadership that were approachable and connected well with the speakers' audiences. Kiersten is a natural relationship builder and is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet. She is a born leader, and her enthusiasm and energy make people want to jump onboard to get projects to fruition. Kiersten is able to bring diverse viewpoints (hers and others) to the conversation with sensitivity and tact, enriching planning and execution of communication and marketing, thereby significantly improving its effectiveness. Kiersten is a pleasure to work with and never hesitates to pitch in to get things done on or before deadline. She's a phenomenal public speaker and outstanding representative of any brand. She builds and maintain websites, creates social media accounts and generates buzz to grow a strong following, and she's great with a hammer and a table saw. What more could anyone need?

Kiersten Hathcock is a superb speaker with the ability to connect with an audience and deliver a meaningful message. I have witnessed Kiersten in several speaking scenarios, most recently to a group of MBA students at Northern Arizona University. The students said they were persuaded and inspired by Kiersten, her message, and her positive energy. It is my pleasure to recommend Kiersten Hathcock as a speaker who embodies professionalism.

My students were impressed and learned some valuable lessons.” — Kris Jolma, Operations Manager/P2P, Company Mentor for Business Week, Centralia, Washington “I was at Business Week sessions again, today, and the students continued to give Kiersten rave reviews.” — Matt Matayoshi, Executive Director, Lewis County, EDC , Lewis County, Washington "Kiersten delivered the keynote speech at the American Society of Furniture Designer's Spring 2011 High Point Market Dinner. She was very well prepared, well spoken, genuine, and inspiring. The topic of her presentation was tailored to our specific audience, engrossing, and provided actionable advice. We received rave reviews from seasoned designers following the keynote stating it was one of the best presentations in recent years. I highly recommend Kiersten Hathcock as a speaker."-- Katie Hatch, VP OF DESIGN at Rooms to Go (Former VP of American Society of Furniture Designer) “Three times over the course of two days, Kiersten presented her story as a guest speaker at my Management 350 classes at Northern Arizona University. She explained, in her engaging style, how to conduct a successful personal pitch. Kiersten’s informative presentation captured the attention of students and prompted them to ask numerous follow-up questions, which she happily answered. Students are still talking about Kiersten’s advice. She is a highly capable speaker and I enthusiastically recommend her.”--Eric Dieterle, Assistant Professor of Practice, Northern Arizona University * More reviews in LinkedIn Reviews Show less
