The Dig: Increase Trust, Confidence and Connection through Authentic Interactions

Every person has the power to communicate and connect authentically. On the other side of this connection is TRUST. And trust turns into more abundance, more partnerships, more progress.

What people don’t realize is in order to get clear and make connections with people, we first need to understand HOW to discover our own truth, and share it with others in a way that resonates.

Erin Weed has developed a system for this called The Dig. She takes the audience on an interactive journey to first understand self, and then connect with others.

She teaches an exercise called Head-Heart-Core to help people understand the difference between expressing thoughts, feelings and desires. When people learn to communicate from all three places, we are showing up as the most authentic version of ourselves.

Erin helps people understand the unique power of our stories, the lessons we learn from them and the universal truths that tie all humans together.
