THE FEEDBACK POWER SPARKSHOP™
Practical tools and safe space to turn feedback into action, growth and collaboration
“Our team was immediately engaged, and the practical tools are already making a big difference. I even received messages during the session saying, ‘This is EXACTLY what we needed.‘”
The Feedback Power SparkShop™
Your team craves feedback.
Your managers avoid it. (Or give it…but no one walks away any clearer.)
The Cost of Silence is Too High.
Every day without clear, constructive feedback costs you:
- Top performers, edging toward the door.
- Great ideas, dying unspoken.
- Small issues, quietly becoming big problems.
- Teams, choosing silence over solutions.
It doesn’t have to be that way.

A former CIO and founder of three companies, Erin has led Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centers at Babson College and UMass Boston.

I had the incredible opportunity to interview Erin at this year’s Women’s Leadership Conference. Erin proved to be an inspiring guest who captivated our audience with her stories of working in a predominantly male field, planning for the future, or sometimes just winging it. Her brand is synonymous with courage and confidence and building the momentum to achieve remarkable things.
People were lining up to talk to Erin. I overheard a woman say she flew here for the conference from South America and hearing Erin’s talk was the highlight. It made the whole trip worth it!”
She’ll make you look good.”
This was my favorite session. The facilitator was just GREAT and the content was very interesting and helpful.”
Our team was immediately engaged, and the practical tools provided are already making a difference. I even received messages during the session saying, ‘This is EXACTLY what we needed.”
