How to Get Started

I make it easy for organizations to host impactful, engaging keynote experiences. Here’s what the process looks like:

Book a Paid Consultation:
We’ll meet to clarify your goals, audience, and event vision. Before the call, I’ll send you a brief questionnaire to help us start strong.
Collaborate on the Event Outline: After our conversation, I’ll draft a tailored outline for your review. You’ll provide feedback, and I’ll refine it based on what matters most to your audience. You take the lead on event marketing and promotion, and I’m happy to contribute as a thought partner along the way.
Design the Talk: With the outline confirmed, I’ll create a compelling keynote that reflects your goals and tone. We’ll do a run-through or dress rehearsal in advance so you feel fully confident heading into the event.
Deliver a High-Impact Experience: On the day of the event, I’ll deliver an energizing talk your audience will appreciate—and remember.

What Organizational Partners Are Saying

Co-creating meaningful learning experiences is central to my approach—here’s what one leader shared about our work together:

“Erica facilitated a 3-part series for our professional community, providing opportunities for audience participation without making the session feel like work. Erica worked with me to shape the series as a co-created resource.”
— Michael S., Director of Programs

"People of all ages and backgrounds loved feeling heard, supported, and safely challenged through the activities' opportunities for reflection and structured conversation. Nobody wanted the event to end! We look forward to inviting Erica back for another event soon!" -
— Marisa Lopez, Associate Director of Workforce & Economic Development
