Here’s what clients and attendees are saying
"Erin recently moderated a panel for Thumbtack employees featuring several of our local pros. She did a fantastic job not only commanding the room, but connecting with our employee audience and the pros. She was very comfortable speaking and took a conversational approach; inserting her own personal anecdotes throughout and asking insightful follow up questions. I would absolutely recommend Erin for speaking engagements and/or moderating."

"I had the pleasure of hiring Erin to moderate a Pro panel for our Thumbtack employees, and I was impressed with her engagement and positive impact on the panel discussion. Erin brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the panel discussion, setting the stage for a meaningful and engaging conversation. Erin's ability to guide the conversation, keep the discussion on track, and ensure that all panelists had an opportunity to contribute was truly remarkable. She was profession in both preparing for the panel and facilitating the discussion itself. It was a pleasure working and getting to know Erin through this process."

"Erin recently moderated an in-person panel for a group of Thumbtack employees and I was so impressed with how she commanded the room (about 40 of us in-person and 10+ virtual attendees!), made us laugh, and built a genuine connection with both the audience and panel she was interviewing. Her conversational moderation style and insightful questions made the session a standout of our jam-packed day.
I would highly recommend Erin for speaking and moderating opportunities!"

As much as Erin is a client of mine, she has expertly coached ME in non-violent communication, feedback delivery & conflict resolution.
The Context: I was so proud of Erin's tremendous growth in her wedding dance business and coaching business - all while taking more time to enjoy her life and rest more - that I created a newsletter celebrating her accomplishments. BUT - and it's a big "but" - I didn't ask for her permission to share her results (they were anonymous, but as I learned, that's not enough. It doesn't feel good to be surprised reading about yourself without being given the opportunity to weigh-in on how YOUR story gets told). Erin has worked her tail off to grow two incredible businesses and develop the trusted brand she has, in addition to her personal achievements like buying a home in Mexico; and she should have a say in how that story gets told.
Erin's Impact: She did what most of us are too uncomfortable and afraid to do -- she let me know it bothered her that I published that newsletter about her without asking. Erin has studied and honed non-violent communication skills for years. She's also a masterful speaker and facilitator. I got to see those gifts of hers in action during our work together.
She leads hard conversations with non-violent, but truthful, grace. She has a gift for talking about hard things in a way that is authentic, but not attacking. As a result, I got much appreciated and much needed feedback that I get to use to grow (I've applied it with every client since), and I got the gift of knowing how my actions impacted someone and the opportunity to apologize. That's rare these days, and it's a gift Erin gave me with her masterful, compassionate communication.
While Erin is a choreographer and a coach, she's also an incredible teacher - no matter your relationship to her. If you are ever looking for a speaker or facilitator for a workshop on self-expression, conflict resolution and speaking your truth in a way that gets heard - Erin is the woman for the job.
