Much more confident and prepared!
This class really helped structure my talking points for a potential interview. Today I'm positive I will walk into a an interview much more confident and prepared! I fully understand the importance of storytelling and how it can translate for me in so many situations from presentations to interviews, to speeches.

My storytelling is more polished and structured
I recommend anyone to take this class with Erin. She is very experienced and a great teacher. I was able to sharpen my storytelling skills in just two weeks and build my confidence for interviews. My storytelling is more polished and structured especially since I was able to practice a lot in the class.

Helped me build more confidence and trust in myself through my career.
Erin’s trust and confidence in me has helped me build more confidence and trust in myself through my career. [As a mentor she] constantly believed in me and pushed me into super uncomfortable situations. I think that helped me grow, especially in political situations.

I've never felt so confident and prepared
I've always had a hard time talking about myself and answering interview questions confidently until taking this course. Erin has taught me so much about strategic interviewing, what interviewers are actually looking for, how to use my experiences/stories to show my thought process and emotional intelligence, how to master different storytelling techniques, when to use these techniques, and most importantly, how to be myself during professional interviews. Interviewing has always been a nerve wracking experience for me, but this course has really changed my interviewing process and I'm so happy I took the step forward to take it! I've never felt so confident and prepared walking into interviews before and highly recommend anyone who is facing the same challenges as me to sign up for this course. Thanks again Erin!!
