The Unshakeable Voice:
The Hidden Communicatin Skills Behind Charisma & Influence
ABSTRACT
In today’s workplace, it is no longer enough to be capable and hardworking. Under pressure, even high-performing professionals can lose clarity, confidence, and executive presence — impacting how they are perceived and how effectively they lead.
In this interactive workshop, keynote speaker, Breath Coach and Master Teaching Artist Erin Dahlgren reveals the mechanics behind charisma and influence in high-stakes moments.
As a natural introvert who learned to develop executive presence from the inside out, Erin is on a mission to help capable professionals be perceived at their true level — without becoming louder, more performative, or less authentic.
Integrating nervous system science with practical communication training, participants learn how to access confidence, authority, and connection — not just in theory, but in real time.
This session is experiential, practical, and immediately applicable in workplaces.

Breath in the Classroom
Practical Tools for Regulation, Focus
& Emotional Resilience in Schools
ABSTRACT
Today’s classrooms are filled with bright, capable children navigating unprecedented levels of stress, stimulation, and emotional intensity. Many students struggle not because they lack intelligence — but because they lack self-regulation. At the same time, educators themselves are navigating constant demands that leave little room to reset.
In this interactive professional development workshop, singer, Certified Master Teaching Artist, and Breathwork Guide Erin Dahlgren introduces science-backed breathing strategies that support emotional regulation, focus, and classroom culture.
Drawing on nervous system research and nearly a decade of experience working with children and educators at the Broward Center, Erin translates breathwork into practical, age-appropriate tools that can be seamlessly integrated into the school day. Teachers leave not just with techniques, but with a deeper understanding of how breath influences behavior, attention, and resilience — and how consistent practice can transform both individual students and overall classroom energy.
This session is experiential, accessible, and immediately implementable.
