From Voice Disorder to Communication Coach: Rebuilding After Loss
- Episode #289
What happens when the thing you lost becomes the foundation of your life’s work? Communication coach Donnie Hill shares with Michi Lantz how a neurological voice disorder at 19 sparked a two-decade journey helping leaders own their authority and rebuild after major life resets.

Donnie Hill works with leaders and organizations that are growing fast but starting to feel the strain of it. As businesses grow, communication gets messier, teams get stretched, clients feel inconsistency, and leaders often realize the way they’ve been operating no longer works at the next level. Donnie helps leaders strengthen the people, communication, and structure behind the business so growth feels more clear, steady, and sustainable.
His work combines leadership development, communication strategy, facilitation, and experience design to help organizations build stronger teams, create better client experiences, and grow without losing what made them successful in the first place. He has trained and coached more than 1,300 leaders and professionals and has led large-scale outreach, education, and engagement initiatives designed to help organizations communicate more clearly and connect more effectively with the people they serve.
