Signature Talks
Why 70% of Change Initiatives Fail — And What to Do About It
The most-cited statistic in change management — unpacked by a psychologist. This talk goes beyond the usual platitudes to explain the behavioral science behind why organizations resist change, why communication campaigns don't work, and what the 30% who succeed do differently. Audiences leave with a new mental model for approaching transformation.
The Psychology of Leadership: What Science Actually Knows
Strip away the leadership industry's mythology and look at what peer-reviewed research actually tells us about effective leadership. Covers decision-making under uncertainty, the neuroscience of trust, why self-awareness is harder than it sounds, and how psychometric assessment can reveal what reflection alone cannot.
Behavioral Design for Organizations: Nudging at Scale
How to apply behavioral design principles — the same science behind consumer product design — to organizational systems. From meeting design to performance management to culture change, this talk shows how small design interventions create outsized behavioral shifts.
Custom / Tailored Talk
Every audience is different. Erik develops custom talks for specific industries, organizations, or event themes. If you have a topic in mind that sits at the intersection of psychology and organizational life, let's discuss it.
