Speech Topics
After years of uncertainty, people from all industries and walks of life are feeling tired, disillusioned and burnt out. They want a better way to succeed and stay at peak performance without the constant hustle and grind that ultimately leads them to burn out.
Helping leaders and organizations break free from burnout is Erin’s mission with every keynote. Her three practical and easy-to-implement steps coupled with her unique and inspiring message lead to real, measurable outcomes. Audiences leave feeling excited, re-engaged, motivated and fired-up again, not only about their work, but their lives. And most importantly, they leave with a toolkit they can put to use immediately to start seeing results quickly.
Big, audacious goals are what drive successful individuals and companies forward. But often, these goals can feel so far out of reach for individuals and teams that they end up feeling stuck, scared and unsure of how to get started.
Based on personal experiences of spotting a seemingly unattainable desired outcome and conquering it anyway, and hundreds of interviews with some of the world’s highest achievers who have done the same, Erin reveals a step-by-step approach to seizing the opportunities you crave without burning out along the way. If you want to supercharge your audience, help individuals and teams become more confident and self-reliant, even when facing challenges or starting over, build tenacity, resilience and courage, Erin’s message will do just that.
Remote and hybrid work is here to stay. But keeping teams happy and productive has created a new paradigm. Leaders are struggling to recruit, engage and retain employees while maintaining a company culture that is strong, inclusive and thriving.
In this practical, tactical session, Erin lays out the exact three-step process she used as the head of marketing for the nation’s largest healthcare staffing company to keep over fifty thousand clinicians and three thousand corporate employees engaged and connected, all while the company grew by 9x. If you want a new model and actionable tools to reinvigorate your workforce, create a thriving community, maximize retention and breathe life into a tired and overwhelmed group, Erin’s message will do that and more.

Erin was wonderful to work with from prep through execution. The presentation itself exceeded my expectations. With virtual events it always feels like no one is engaged because we're all on mute, but all of the feedback I've gotten has been great. I was really impressed with how she weaved in the details I'd shared - based on her excellent line of questioning - so it felt really custom.
