Keynote Speaker.
Erin Weed helps leaders find the one word that explains who they are and what they're here to do — then build your message from there.
She’s helped over 1,000 leaders craft speeches and platforms that move people.
Her secret? She doesn't add to your message. She takes everything away until only the truth remains–using just one word.
Erin is the creator of The Dig, and author of Just One Word — coming May 2026.
WHAT’S HOLDING YOU BACK?
Do you compelled to speak or teach?
You know there’s a message inside you. You've given pieces of it in meetings, over coffee, in the car on the way home. You have something to say, but just haven't found the through line. That's the work.
Do people say you should be on stage?
People sense it before you do. They see the message in you that you haven't fully claimed. Erin will help you find it, name it, and build it into something real.
Are you ready to stand out?
The problem isn't your lack of ideas. It's that you haven't yet found the one word that makes your ideas unmistakably yours. From there, any kind of message, keynote, workshop, presentation or TEDx talk flows.
I'm a speaker coach and keynote speaker. I've been both for 25 years.
But I don't work on your delivery first. I work on you. Your story, your through line, the word that has been running through everything you've ever done. Once we find it, your talk builds itself — because it's coming from somewhere true.
I started Girls Fight Back in 2001 after my sorority sister Shannon was murdered. For 12 years I traveled the country speaking to over a million young women about personal safety and violence prevention. I was voted speaker of the year multiple times. Why? Because my story was honest and real. My content was simple and practical. People were moved to think, feel and act differently about the topic.
Speaking wasn't something I learned. It was something I lived.
After Girls Fight Back was acquired in 2013, I dedicated myself to helping other leaders do what I had done — find the talk only they can give and help them tap into the clarity and confidence to own it fully. If you feel ready to step into a new level of leadership, let’s talk.
hey there, I’m ERIN.
