“If you want a speaker who knows her stuff AND can fire up an audience — put Erika on stage.”
Erika was hands-down one of the BEST speakers at my summit, Out-Earn Your Man. She taught all of the women in the room how to dress so they can embody their brands and scale their businesses. The energy she brought was incredible. Everyone took notes, asked questions, stayed engaged, and asked her where they could get more content. If you want a speaker who knows her stuff AND can fire up an audience — put Erika on stage.
