Whether you're chasing excellence on the ice, the soccer pitch, in the boardroom, or the classroom, the quality of your connections can make or break your ability to truly thrive.

Together, they break down the neuroscience and psychology behind high performance, including a powerful framework Erin introduces: the difference between green light and yellow light states of play. Learn how consistent, secure relationships create the psychological safety needed for individuals—whether athletes, leaders, or kids—to step into their full potential.
