Rachel Hanfling is an Emmy-nominated TV Producer, International Keynote Speaker and Executive Presentation and Media Trainer who is passionate about teaching people to authentically articulate a message that gets results.

For as long as Rachel can remember, she’s been studying why some people speak successfully and others fail.  That drive led her to 20 years producing TV for some of the nation’s biggest names including Oprah Winfrey and Anderson Cooper. Now, whether it’s teaching at Harvard, coaching a client for a corporate speech or training a client for Today or Shark Tank, Rachel empowers people from all walks of life to find and express their unique voice, resonate with an audience and deliver when it counts.

Rachel is grateful for her TV experience that allows her to teach people to soar.

Most recently Rachel co-created and co-executive produced a special called 7 Little Johnstons on Oprah Winfrey’s network, OWN.

Prior to OWN, Rachel was one of the core producers for Anderson Cooper’s daytime show, Anderson. There, she managed a range of topics including an hour-long special on Anderson’s mother, Gloria Vanderbilt; an intimate daytime exclusive with Angelina Jolie and a revealing look at how women can make millions by living their dreams.

Before joining Anderson, Rachel produced for almost a decade at The Oprah Winfrey Show where she orchestrated complex productions for millions. She was known for finding and nurturing highly sensitive guests such as domestic violence survivors as well as producing power players like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Julia Roberts, Vera Wang and Ryan Seacrest. Rachel covered numerous other subjects including personal finance, global warming, terrorism, health, psychology, crime, fashion, food, weight loss, music, pop culture and current events.

Prior to helping people live their best lives with Oprah, Rachel was a Senior Producer of American Justice and Biography on A&E where she received an Alma Award nomination from the National Council of La Raza. Early in her career, she fought for and secured competitive bookings like Michael Jackson for Inside Edition.
