BREAKOUT SESSIONS

Custom-Crafted. High-Impact. Designed for the Way Your People Actually Work.

This is where keynotes come to life. Where ideas turn into action. Where people stop passively listening and start actively applying.

What You Get When You Bring Erin In:

  • From the United Nations and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital - ALSAC to Fortune 500 executive teams, Erin translates high-stakes transformation into everyday, human-centered leadership your people can actually use.

  • Expect sessions that listen before leading, test before telling, and turn “good ideas” into solutions your people believe in.

  • Erin blends humor, storytelling, psychology, and strategy, pulling people in, drawing insights out, and giving them tools they’ll still be talking about six months later.

  • She partners closely with you to understand your culture, challenges, and goals, then she builds a breakout that hits exactly where you need it to. This is the kind of session people don’t forget.

Why These Breakouts Work

Because they honor how adults actually learn: Through story, strategic frameworks, real conversation, and micro-action.

→ Erin doesn’t talk at people, she brings them into the process.
→ She turns rooms into communities.
→ She turns insights into shifts.
→ She turns pressure into possibility.

Your people leave thinking, “I can use this today.”

And that’s exactly the point.

No two sessions are the same, but they all share a DNA:

Interactive. Insightful. Immediately Actionable

How They Work

1. Discovery & Design

Before the session, Erin dives into your world—your goals, your people, your pain points. She absorbs your language, priorities, and culture to design a breakout that feels custom-fitted.

2. Engaging, Story-Driven Teaching

Erin opens with relatable, unfiltered stories from global leadership trenches—moments that disarm people, provoke reflection, and spark the “Okay… she gets us” feeling fast.

3. Micro-Exercises That Stick

Through rapid-fire reflections, pair-shares, HCD tools, and scenario-based prompts, attendees do more than listen—they build. They test ideas, role-play conversations, and leave with tangible shifts in mindset and skill.

4. Practical Tools for Real Teams

Your breakout will include frameworks, scripts, or exercises participants can use the very next day with their teams or customers. No theory without application. No fluff.

5. A Close That Sparks Momentum

Erin ends with a signature mic-drop moment; one that fuels connection, confidence, and clarity long after people leave the room.

What They Deliver

Your breakout is designed to create immediate impact:

✔ Alignment across teams

People finally understand where they’re going—and how to get there together.

✔ Stronger communication and collaboration

Teams walk out with real strategies for navigating conflict, giving feedback,and leading with empathy.

✔ Mindset shifts that last

Erin translates courage, empathy, growth mindset, and human-centered design into language your people will adopt and actually use.

✔ Energy, ownership, and confidence

Participants stop waiting for change and start owning their role in it.

✔ A shared experience that strengthens culture

Because when people connect on a human level, everything else accelerates.

Let’s Build Your Breakout

Every session starts with one question:

“What do your people need most right now?”

From there, Erin designs an experience that’s bold, human, aligned, and unforgettable.
