Career Development Speaker for Corporate Teams
Helping employees take ownership of their careers — through self-advocacy, internal visibility, and professional branding that benefits both them and your organization.
Ana Goehner delivers virtual, interactive presentations that give employees practical tools to direct their own growth — not passively wait for it. Her sessions combine personal storytelling, real career strategy, and live Q&A, drawing on 15+ years of corporate, HR, and coaching experience.

How Ana Presents
As a career development speaker, I understand your audience before the event and deliver an engaging virtual presentation—not a passive webinar.
- 100% remote delivery — no travel required, easy to schedule across teams and time zones
- Slide-supported, not slide-read — visuals anchor the session, but the delivery is conversational, empathetic, and story-driven
- Personal storytelling — I draw on my own career transitions and experiences to bring abstract concepts to life
- Live, unscripted Q&A — audiences can ask real questions in the moment; sessions aren’t pre-scripted start to finish
Each session is customized based on your team’s unique needs.

As a career development speaker, I can adapt my topics to your team’s specific needs — reach out to discuss a custom session.
How it Works
I don’t deliver generic, one-size-fits-all presentations. Every session is tailored to your organization’s unique culture and challenges.
Step 1: Discovery
We’ll have a consultation call to discuss:
- Your team’s current challenges and pain points
- Cultural context and organizational goals
- Audience demographics (career levels, team size, remote/hybrid/in-person)
- Desired outcomes and takeaways
This ensures the content resonates specifically with your workforce.
Step 2: Development
I create a custom presentation from scratch based on our discovery conversation.
This isn’t a templated deck—it’s built for YOUR team, addressing YOUR challenges, with examples and language that fit YOUR culture.
Optional add-ons (additional cost):
- Digital handouts or workbooks for participants
- Post-session resources or follow-up materials
- Recording license (if you want to share internally)
Step 3: Delivery
I show up 20-30 minutes early for technical testing to ensure a smooth, professional experience.
What I provide:
- Live, high-engagement presentation
- Screen sharing and visual slides
- Q&A facilitation
- Professional, empathetic delivery
What you provide:
- Virtual platform (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, etc.)
- Event host/moderator to introduce me and manage chat
- Pre-event promotion to staff
- Attendance tracking (optional)
I recommend having a moderator who can filter chat questions, address organization-specific policy questions, and keep the session flowing smoothly.
