The Language of Leadership

Why do leaders try so hard to communicate successfully, yet fail to get the results they want?

Most leaders aren’t taught how to communicate effectively. As a result, they create chaos and confusion vs clarity and confidence. In this session, Erica teaches leaders how to use language to increase their influence and impact, and create cultures where people feel included and inspired…rather than deflated and down.

Drawing on her 20+ years of experience working with leaders from the public, private, and for-profit sectors, Erica gives leaders a way to tap into the power of words to effect change in themselves, their teams, and the world.

Elevate Your Elevator Pitch

Do you and your team have an elevator pitch that lights you up?

No? You’re not alone. Whether it’s for a sales presentation with a new client or a meeting with a potential donor to your nonprofit, most people want to be able to answer the question, “What do you do?” with vim and vigor, clarity and confidence. Yet, alas, they can’t and don’t. The secret to powerful pitches is purpose: individual and organizational.

Through a proven process that has been used by thousands, Erica paves the way for participants to connect with purpose at work and in their lives. Participants walk away feeling energized, connected, and ready to pitch with purpose!

Based on Erica’s popular book, Pitchfalls: Why bad pitches happen to good people.
