The Keynote Everyone will be Talking About


Enthusiastically Empowering Audiences Across All Sectors

Dedicated to helping individuals and teams leverage WHO THEY ARE to get WHERE THEY WANT TO BE

Ready to Ensure Your Audience Feels Celebrated and Valued?

Dr. Erika has you covered!

Have you attended a keynote and left thinking "There weren't any practical takeaways I can use" ... or even worse, wishing you had skipped it altogether?


Have you participated in a workshop that felt like a generic waste of time?


Have you stepped into a leadership role and realized you weren't equipped with the Emotional Intelligence and management skills you need to thrive?


If you can say "Ugh, yes." to any of those (or maybe even all of them), you're not alone! So has Dr. Erika. And those experiences were frustrating and stressful. But they have also helped her create programming to prevent your audience from walking way with disappointment or regret.

What Clients Are Saying

TO KNOW HER & WORK WITH HER IS TO LOVE HER

TO KNOW HER & WORK WITH HER IS TO LOVE HER

TO KNOW HER & WORK WITH HER IS TO LOVE HER

"To know Erika is to love her. She lives and breathes her message of authenticity, celebrating others, and generating joy.  She brings this to each and every training and keynote she does. What I love most is that no two presentations are the same - she personalizes each one to specifically meet the unique needs of your organization. Erika has worked with two of my organizations and both experiences provided concrete, actionable takeaways that we were able to immediately put into action. She is able to easily intertwine the science and research into her message in a way that captivates her audience and helps you better understand why we as humans behave and do the things we do."

SHE IS A CATALYST FOR GROWTH

TO KNOW HER & WORK WITH HER IS TO LOVE HER

TO KNOW HER & WORK WITH HER IS TO LOVE HER

 "Erika cares so much about helping people explore their own capacity on an individual level and then shifts that into high gear when she walks teams through a discussion about the collective possibilities in the room. When I say we all felt like we could do just about anything after a day with Erika, I mean we all truly believed we were capable of ANYTHING! Erika has a knack for balancing the need for humor and leading serious conversations. She is masterful at honoring random comments  and somehow still keeping the group engaged and on track. We don't usually have employees request repeat visits, but before she left participants were already asking when we could bring her back. That's big praise around our organization!"

The Latest from Dr. Erika

Keynote Spotlights: High-Energy Content Your Audience Wants

The Rolling Stones Got It Wrong

Learn what Mick Jagger and Keith Richards didn’t realize about satisfaction. Turns out you CAN get it … if you know how. This session invites audience members to consider how they are cultivating their own sense of satisfaction and provides practical strategies to deepen it. Audiences will even have the opportunity to engage in a few of these strategies during the keynote ensuring they leave with a greater sense of overall satisfaction, which is a fantastic way to end an event!

Evolving Authentically Amplifies Your Impact

Explore how lessons from evolution (and from your old friend the mitochondria) apply directly to existing authentically.  It’s time for a mindset shift from "Who do I want to be like?" to "Who am I and how can I put that into practice consistently?" and this session provides a frame work to help people navigate that shift! Audience will benefit from an interactive, not-so-sciency-it-gets-boring look at what the process of evolution can teach us about how to move forward authentically with clarity and confidence. 

The Emotionally Intelligent Workplace

Ever wonder why Emotional Intelligence is getting so much attention these days?  Because it's a critical skillset to thrive in today's professional landscape. In this session, audiences will hear about the relationship between Emotional Intelligence and key performance indicators such as job satisfaction, employee retention, overall team effectiveness, and more. Then they will be given practical strategies for cultivating Emotional Intelligence in themselves and their teams, curating a toolkit full of actionable insight they can use immediately.

BOOK DR. ERIKA

I can't stand toxic positivity, but I do believe having someone in your corner who has confidence in your abilities and sees potential in you (even on the days you don't...especially on the days you don't), is a pretty good way to approach whatever challenges come up.
