As an immigrant who grew up between two cultures and mixed messages, the familiarity I have with speaking fears fueled me to learn and share the tools to overcome those obstacles. For nearly 25 years, my team-oriented speaking and teaching style has centered around shared experiences, a philosophy that everyone has a unique story, and a belief that everyone can share their minds and hearts through powerful presentations. I offer keynotes, workshops, and individual coaching for cultivating a culture of effective public speaking and storytelling in your personal and professional lives!

Erik brought a lot of value to the team in the 60 min platform he had two deliver his message. He instantly related to them and engaged their interest on the topic. He provided simple tools to lessen their anxiety, increase their confidence and improve the delivery of their message by reinforcing three simple steps for one to truly improve their speaking abilities for the desired outcome. It left them all inspired and motivated!
Erik led a storytelling workshop for our Iowa PBS American Portrait project, a National storytelling project focused on showcasing the everyday life of Americans. Erik's approach for the virtual workshop was personal, meaningful and knowledgeable; I know our attendees found great value in the information provided!
I was blown away with the presentation Erik had put together. I felt like the audience had a chance to get to know Erik as a person, share in common struggles and self-doubt that we put on ourselves and set tangible goals to overcome those obstacles. Overall his presentation was well put together, and made a lasting impression on the audience. His ability to connect his work and skill set with our initiative was truly incredible.
Erik has an energy that encourages each of us to reflect on our own skills, abilities and individual power. He is motivating, encouraging and truly refreshing to listen to. I believe every leader in our city should participate in his workshop or attend a presentation in order to get comfortable with what they bring to the table and practice leading with vulnerability as a tool to lift up others.
