If your team is ready to break through communication barriers and inefficiencies, Erik’s team-oriented approach will equip leaders with the mindsets and tools to come off mute, speak up, and speak easy!

Participants will:

  • Learn and explore the obstacles to communication and connection
  • Apply science-backed strategies to communicate with impact and authenticity
  • Reimagine what it means to communicate with confidence

“Erik spoke to the Startup Champions Summit we hosted in Des Moines in October 2021. He a rockstar when it comes to being in front of a crowd while being authentic. His message and keynote about “being in the middle” hit home to both our audience and to me personally. It made me think, and of course, write notes down so I wouldn’t forget! 5 Stars would recommend him, and I look forward to working with him! Thanks, Erik.”
