Regan is an NYU-certified executive coach and human development expert with a focus on helping people who are overprogrammed and underwhelmed to reclaim their lives, both personally and professionally.

Erin has spoken in 46 states, recruited in Hungary, volunteered in Hawaii, taught in Brazil and has been on stages with thousands of people in the audience all with the focus of developing people and building teams and communities.
Erin considers herself a leadership nerd on a mission to help teams and individuals excel at what they do. Her forum is the stage, but her focus is super-cognitive skills. She wants to support the growth of people by giving them time to think, reflect and gain new knowledge.
