About Hannah Yurk:

Hi, I’m Hannah, founder of Speak HR.

I help experienced HR leaders communicate with more clarity, credibility and influence in English-speaking meetings, so their expertise is heard, trusted and taken seriously.

Many of the HR leaders I work with already have strong English skills. But in high-stakes moments, like presenting recommendations, answering difficult questions, handling pushback or influencing senior stakeholders, their English communication does not always reflect the full value of their expertise.

Through my Speak HR Accelerator programme, I help HR professionals work on the real conversations that matter in their roles, so they can get more buy-in for their ideas, respond better under pressure and communicate like strategic HR partners.

My approach is practical, structured and HR-specific communication coaching for the situations where your voice needs to carry weight.
