On behalf of the Canadian Swim School Alliance, thank you so much Erica, for speaking to our 100+ members during our inaugural conference in November 2022! You made us all stop and reflect on our business and be curious and brave to reinvent ourselves. Your fresh, punchy, and entertaining delivery, connected with us all as we left to go back to our own industry. An important impact was left, and we are so thankful and energized as a result. Thank you again!

Erica is an eloquent and professional emcee and facilitator. She truly understands the importance of personal connection among peers at an event, not just having speakers engage in a one-way conversation. Erica was extremely well prepared for her role and went above and beyond in audience participation and engagement through both pre-arranged dialogue and spontaneous questions! Erica facilitated a very touching wrap up discussion of the day’s events by engaging the audience in contributing best moments and left everyone very inspired.
