Humility is Overrated

Long gone are the days of taking the back seat and hoping someone else sees your value. This topic teaches that humility is an overrated virtue and plunges deep into how to claim your rightful place in the driver’s seat, where you are in charge of the direction of your life.

The Secrets to Being an Unstoppable Woman

Appropriately named after Erika’s bestselling book, this topic shows you how to break the chain of being a “YES Ma’am” and a chronic people pleaser, to introduce you to someone who really needs you…Your Unstoppable Self! It gives you permission to be exactly who you were born to be.

Leadership Isn't a Title - It's an Action!

This topic is ideal for emerging leaders to start them off with a strong foundation so they can lead through their strengths and their authenticity. This topic is universal, but is very popular in the college & university community.

Intimate Partner Violence Prevention & Escape

Erika dives deeply into the murky waters of violence and sheds light into the dark spaces of abuse. This topic outlines in great detail exactly what abuse looks like, how to prevent it, and how to escape it unharmed.

I Am Enough!

This topic gives its audience permission to boldly declare that they are enough. We deep dive into the discovery of qualities of the person and reveal productive ways to improve upon areas of weakness to better communicate our thoughts and actions to others.
