"Erika joined us for my Women in leadership meeting and I literally cannot say enough about her! She was excellent to work with as we made all arrangements. We had a discussion on what I was looking for and she heard every word! She is very timely in her responses. The day of the event she blew us away. She was honest, relatable, inspiring, motivating, and so sincere about wanting to help Women. To have us see that we can do this and we are enough! There were so many that cried, laughed and were in awe of her. She had a line of women wanting to meet her after the event. Erika is truly priceless and I cannot wait to utilize her services again!"

Janice Trelewicz, Sam's Club

"Hands down, Erika has been one of the best speakers to come and present to my EA team at Worldwide Amazon Fresh. I worked with her on the specific content that I wanted delivered and Erika hit the nail on the head! She was engaging, upbeat, relatable and empathetic in talking about her own journey and in showing useful techniques for the EA community on how to deal with ambiguity or self doubt and how to successfully plan on achieving a particular set of goals in mind. I received so much positive feedback after her session! I would not think twice on having Erika come back to speak to my team or any other team at Amazon. She is AMAZING!"

Ilana S., Amazon

"Erika is the quintessential professional and an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and consideration for the manner she delivers information is a true blessing. Many times she is addressing a population that needs edification and understanding, often broken with a feeling of no resolve. To treat these individuals as "clay in the hands of the potter" and build them to a space they never thought they would occupy is true grace."

Ernest Wilson, Wilson Consulting & Assoc.
