Unprofessional

In this week’s episode, I dive deep into what it was like behind-the-scenes to deliver the commencement address to the graduating class of 2022 at Elon University, my alma mater in North Carolina. This experience was undoubtedly one of the honorable moments I’ve ever been gifted with. I got questions from so many of you about how it went, what was going on in my head and what I experienced, I decided to record this #BTS solo for all of you! Listen to the whole speech below and let me know what you think!

I’ve been holding back a pretty big secret recently, and I couldn’t sit on not having this conversation any longer: I was chosen by my alma mater Elon University to address the graduating class of 2022. My first reaction after getting off the phone was, “Do they have the right Hilary?” and I literally laid on the floor for a while after the phone call. This wasn’t part of my vision board or something to cross off my bucket list. I am truly honored to share my 4-month preparation for this speech because as many speeches as I’ve given in my career, this one is extra special to me. In this episode, I share why it’s different and why I’ve put so much time into prepping, rehearsing and crafting a speech that’s authentically me.
