About

Business M.O. brings legal literacy to success driven entrepreneurs who want to keep their business out of court. It accomplishes this business leadership development and executive education in a number of ways, through on-line training, customized coaching, management consulting, public speaking, and Internet radio.

Business M.O.’s Legal Leverage® Academy division provides convenient, open enrollment, e-learning programs focused on squarely placing legal literacy in a business context that is easy to understand, simple and fun. These programs can also be customized for your in-house training and delivered electronically or in person.

The Academy’s world class content is designed and taught by Business M.O. founder Hanna Hasl-Kelchner, Esq., who taught in the U.S. and international MBA programs at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and the MBA program at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.

She’s an ivy-league trained business expert, award-winning consultant, speaker, author, and no nonsense lawyer who, unlike other advisors, blends her dual experience and training into an integrated, business-friendly approach.

Her analyses and recommendations have assisted influential decision makers ranging from start-ups to a multi-billion dollar corporation and the White House.  Her shrewd insights help businesses save money and avoid lawsuits by making a no nonsense connection between law and business that is easy to understand, simple and fun.

Her ground-breaking book, "The Business Guide to Legal Literacy," shows organizations how to extract the highest value of both disciplines to ignite better decision making and achieve more business success. It's been cited by Wikipedia to highlight the value and importance of legal literacy in business.

With more than 30 years of experience in private, government and in-house practice, an MBA, plus experience running her own business, she understands what makes the world of business and law tick.

That’s why Hanna has been featured on MSNBC and FoxNews and was filmed by Emmy Award Winning Director and Producer, Nic Nanton, for a segment of America’s Premier Experts. She has also co-authored the best-seller, Champions: Knockout Strategies for Health, Wealth and Success and won the Editor’s Choice Award for her insightful chapter.

Hanna's formal education includes an undergraduate degree from Duke University, an MBA degree from Cornell University, and a law degree from the Rutgers University School of Law – Camden, where she won awards for her advocacy skills.  

She is also on the editorial board of The Journal of Business Ethics Education and a member of the New Jersey, Washington, D.C., and North Carolina bar.

A Chicken Soup for the Soul co-author called her “a lawyer you can love.”
