Award-Winning Speaker Erika Gilchrist

The most common feedback planners tell me is that I make their job easier! That’s by design. I show up ready [and early], stay professional, and deliver an engaging experience from start to finish.

If traveling outside of my state, I arrive the day before so you're not stressing about your speaker's arrival. We conduct a tech check to ensure that everything is functioning properly. I'm flexible when the program changes unexpectedly. You receive my personal cell number to text about last minute changes.

The audience leaves with tangible tools that they can actually use - not theoretical strategies.

Assaulted as a little girl, domestically abused as a young adult, living in a women’s shelter, and survived a suicide attempt, Erika Gilchrist has earned the title of “The Unstoppable Woman.” She is regarded as one of the most energizing, engaging, and captivating speakers in the industry.
