When All Eyes Are On You - Lighthouse Lab with Naomi Fein and George Hanover

A conversation about communication under pressure

Most of us have experienced it. The moment we become aware we're being watched, something changes. We become more self-conscious. More controlled. More concerned about getting it right.

Whether it's speaking on camera, presenting an idea, joining a meeting, or representing our business, many of us find ourselves communicating differently under attention.

George Hanover, an actor and facilitator, spent years experiencing this herself and observing it in others.

In this Lighthouse talk, George will share some of what she learned about communication under attention, why so many of us struggle with it, and what can help us feel more natural, effective, and like ourselves when all eyes are on us.

George Hanover is an actor, facilitator, and communication coach specialising in on-camera presence and communication under attention.

Throughout her career, George has worked in environments where being seen is part of the job on stage, on screen, in rehearsal rooms, and facilitating creative experiences with diverse groups. Over time, she became increasingly interested in what happens when attention is directed towards us, and why so many capable people can find themselves feeling self-conscious, constrained, or unlike themselves in those moments.

Today, George works with people whose roles increasingly require them to communicate under attention, whether on camera, in meetings, presentations, workshops, or public-facing roles. Her approach combines lived experience, careful observation, and practical exercises that support people to feel less self-conscious and more like themselves when all eyes are on them.

The Lighthouse Talks is a series of conversations that aspire to change how we see our business and our lives. Each talk brings in the voice of someone who thinks differently, works differently, and has something worth hearing.
