“We had been looking to inspire our community of engineering and technology volunteers to tell personal stories for a few years as part of our strategy to make our National Engineering Month campaign as accessible, exciting, and inclusive as possible. With Erin, we were thrilled to find someone who not only shared our appreciation for the power of storytelling, but also a whole lot of enthusiasm and practical experience on coaching anyone -- even engineers and technologists -- to tell great stories!
Erin worked with us to educate and inspire everyone one of our 1600+ volunteers. Through an original webinar on how to use the power of storytelling to make our popular events even stronger, private coaching of storytellers and an original storytelling event, she helped our us to spread our core theme "There's a place for you". The event was a huge success, and the videos from it have inspired current engineers, technologists and students, and also our target audience: the next generation. Erin helped to craft the show's storytellers experiences into engaging, compelling and shareable videos that we are proud to share with the world. “
