Erica Barnhart
Communication expert. Leadership professor. Word wizard.
Erica breaks things down so you can break through.
Using her bold, evidence-based frameworks and methods, she shows you how to stop wasting words and start using them to create change and get results.
Erica goes into the missteps we make when talking with others, and also dives into the self-talk that fuels internal struggles leaders face—imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and performance anxiety, to name a few. She has faced them, as have her clients and students. She also knows the unique challenge of having to show up professionally while personally, your world is falling apart. Through the loss of her husband to mental illness, she learned first-hand that adversity is inevitable, resilience is hard won, and happiness is worth fighting for.
