Your audience doesn't just want inspiration; they want to leave with something they can use immediately. This session delivers both: a high-energy, insight-driven talk on the psychology of connection and persuasive communication, built specifically for speakers, coaches, consultants, and entrepreneurs who want their next stage to actually convert.

Most speakers have experienced this, a standing ovation, glowing feedback... and zero sales. Erin names that exact gap and shows the room why it happens and exactly how to fix it. It's the talk that turns "great speaker" into "speaker who pays for the trip."

What the audience walks away with:

• The "know, like, trust" sequence that needs to happen before they ever walk into the room, not during the pitch
• How to apply the Psychology of Connection to make every word land with more influence
• A repeatable framework for converting stage time into clients, customers, and revenue, without sounding salesy or losing the audience's goodwill

The TEDx application process rejects most of the people who apply, not because their ideas aren't good, but because they don't know how TEDx organizers actually think. Erin Loman Jeck does. With a 99% success rate helping speakers land TEDx talks, she's reverse-engineered exactly what separates an idea that gets selected from one that gets passed over.

In this talk, Erin walks the room through the full arc of TEDx success:

• The application: how to position an idea so it stands out in a flooded inbox, and what organizers are actually looking for (hint: it's rarely what applicants think)
• The script: how to build a talk that doesn't just inform an audience, but moves them
• The stage:  the mindset and presence techniques that turn nerves into a standing ovation
• The afterward: how to leverage a TEDx talk into real career and business momentum, and what it actually takes to get featured on TED.com

This isn't inspiration about wanting a TEDx talk. It's the specific, tested roadmap for getting one and making it count once you're there.

Perfect for: aspiring TEDx speakers, coaches, founders, and thought leaders ready to turn their idea into a stage and their stage into impact.

Most people think they have a confidence problem, a money problem, or a sales problem. They don't. They have a programming problem and it was installed before they turned eighteen.

In this talk, Erin Loman Jeck breaks down the psychology behind why smart, capable people keep hitting the same invisible ceiling in their income, their relationships, their visibility, no matter how much they learn or how hard they work.

Drawing on neuro-linguistic programming and her background as a trained therapist, Erin reveals:

• Why your brain edits reality: through deletion, distortion, and generalization — to keep its existing beliefs "right," even when those beliefs are working against you
• The 90/10 rule: why your conscious mind plans your life, but your unconscious mind (90% of your mental operating system) is actually running it
• How a single moment creates a lifelong pattern, and why a belief formed at age four can still be steering decisions decades later
• The real reason money triggers people faster than almost anything else, and the specific blocks that quietly cap what people are willing to earn, charge, or receive
• The 24-hour rule, a simple, repeatable tool for breaking reactive cycles in relationships and business before resentment takes root

This isn't theory. It's a practical, audience-tested framework for recognizing the protective patterns running the show, self-sabotage, people-pleasing, overworking, playing small and understanding what they're actually protecting, so the audience can finally update them.

Audiences leave with: a clear map of how their own limiting beliefs were built, a tool they can use immediately (the 24-hour rule), and the first steps toward replacing an outdated identity with one that actually fits who they're capable of becoming.

How to Command Attention, Build Trust & Move People to Action

Most leaders don't have a communication problem. They have an influence gap.

They may have the expertise, title and experience, yet their ideas don't always land with the authority, clarity or impact they intended.

In this highly interactive presentation, Erin Loman Jeck reveals the psychology behind why some people immediately command attention and create buy-in while others struggle to get equally valuable ideas heard.

Through Erin's four dimensions of Presence, Voice, Message and Influence, audiences discover how seemingly small changes in the way they communicate can dramatically change how others perceive, trust and respond to them.

Audiences discover how to:

• Create executive presence before saying a word
• Use vocal tonality to increase authority, connection and credibility
• Structure messages so complex ideas become memorable and actionable
• Read different communication styles and adapt without losing authenticity
• Move people from hearing an idea to actually wanting to act on it

Perfect for: Leadership conferences, corporate events, women's leadership events, executive development, ERGs and professional associations.
