Hannah Ubl's Biography

Hannah Ubl’s core mission is to help people create workplaces that don’t suck. Since the age of 24, she has been sought after for her fresh insights and dynamic presentations that inspire everyone to make work better.

Insatiably curious, she has dedicated the past decade of her career to researching people at work… and not just top talent and leadership, but also everyone in between.

Her skill lies in digesting those findings, and pairing them with the latest workplace and social trends, to deliver custom takeaways for every client. She’s been invited to share those findings with executives, leaders, and employees in hundreds of organizations like Cisco Systems, PPG, Sodexo, numerous universities, and multiple hospital associations.

As co-founder of Good Company Consulting, she’s committed to flipping the traditional workplace script, throwing out the old “employees are lines on a spreadsheet” in favor of treating people at work more like well, people.

With heart, deep conviction, and a good dose of self-deprecating humor, Hannah will sweep you along on a journey of insights that lead to deep, lasting mindset shifts about how work works. Don’t be surprised if you feel like grabbing a coffee with her post-presentation and talking about all things people and work (it’s her most common piece of feedback after “that was so helpful!”).

From A to Z: Evolving Your Workplace for Gen Z

We're standing at the precipice of a workplace revolution, with Generation Z at its forefront. Born digital natives, these young professionals are reshaping what it means to work, communicate, and lead. But here's the thing: many organizations are still stuck in outdated paradigms, struggling to connect with this dynamic generation. It's time for a wake-up call.

In "From A to Z: Evolving Your Workplace for Gen Z," you’ll dive deep into the art of workplace transformation. It's a blueprint for creating the kind of organization that not only attracts top Gen Z talent (while not alienating other generations) but nurtures their potential and harnesses their unique strengths.

Drawing from extensive research and real conversations with Gen Z professionals, you’ll see a vivid picture of what the future of work can and should look like. More importantly, you’ll walk away with the tools to start that redesign today.

Beyond the Paycheck: Cultivating Engagement in Your Workforce

The rulebook for motivating and engaging employees has been completely rewritten. Annual bonuses and employee-of-the-month plaques may have driven engagement in the past, but today it’s just not enough to keep people motivated in the long term.

Make no mistake, salary and pay still matter for every working individual, and there’s opportunity to motivate in addition to those foundational financial components. This presentation will challenge you to think beyond extrinsic rewards and dig into how to have authentic conversations about what drives your team, how to design a work culture that ignites passion, and how to create an environment where people are energized by challenges rather than drained by them.

In this deep dive, you’ll learn the latest research on what really drives people in the modern workplace and actionable strategies to transform your approach to motivation and engagement.

Work is Where the Wi-Fi Is: Mastering the Art of Hybrid Work

The hybrid work revolution promised flexibility and freedom, but for many, it's delivered complexity and confusion. We're navigating uncharted waters, where the boundaries between work and life are blurrier than ever, and our notion of why we need to go to the office is constantly shifting.

While it can feel like an unending quest to discover the best hybrid work rules, the trick is actually proactive strategies instead of reactive policies. In this presentation you will learn the guiding principles to create a hybrid workplace that works for everyone. You’ll discover how to create rituals that bridge the digital-physical divide, how to redesign workflows for asynchronous excellence, and how to lead with empathy in a world where face-to-face interactions are no longer a given.

Memos to Memes: Cracking the Generational Communication Code at Work

In today's constantly changing workplace, communication can be our greatest asset… and our biggest frustration. The days of one-size-fits-all memos are long gone, replaced by a dizzying array of channels, styles, and yes, even memes. With five generations now working side by side, it's like we're all speaking different dialects of the same language.

"Memos to Memes: Cracking the Generational Communication Code at Work" is your Rosetta Stone for navigating this complex landscape. We're diving deep into the communication preferences and pitfalls of each generation, from the Baby Boomers who still appreciate a well-crafted email, to the Gen Zers who can convey an entire strategy meeting in shorthand and a few emojis.

Whether you're a Boomer trying to connect with new hires or a Millennial manager bridging the gap between your Gen X leaders and Gen Z interns, this presentation will equip you with the practical tools to improve collaboration, reduce misunderstandings, and leverage the unique communication strengths of each generation.

Leading with Compassion: A Human-First Approach to Building Great Teams

We are entering a new era of leadership, one where success is measured not just in profits, but in the well-being and growth of our people. The old playbook of top-down management and rigid hierarchies is being rewritten, with compassion and empathy taking center stage. But let's be real – this shift isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have for organizations that want to thrive in our rapidly changing world.

"Leading with Compassion: A Human-First Approach to Building Great Teams" isn't just another feel-good leadership seminar. It's a deep dive into the art and science of putting people at the heart of your organization. Drawing from years of research, real-world case studies, and conversations with leaders across industries, we'll explore how compassionate leadership can transform your team from good to extraordinary.

Staying Human in the Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence isn't just knocking at the door of our workplaces – it's already made itself at home, rearranged the furniture, and started offering to make the coffee. As AI systems become more sophisticated and ubiquitous, we're facing a fundamental shift in how we work, lead, and create value. But amidst all the excitement and anxiety about this brave new world, one crucial question remains: how do we stay fundamentally human?

"Staying Human in the Age of AI" isn't about teaching you how to use the latest AI tool or warning you about the robot apocalypse. It's a deep dive into the art of remaining gloriously, messily human in a world that's increasingly powered by circuits and code. It’s about using the time that AI frees up in our work lives to invest into the most complex part of work: collaborating with our fellow human beings.

Drawing from cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, and hard-won wisdom from leaders on the front lines of the AI revolution, we'll explore what it really means to lead with heart in a high-tech world.
