ERIKA GILCHRIST

---

 Erika is a force to be reckoned with. From her skills in public speaking and storytelling, to her ability to build communities, Erika is capable of working with people from all backgrounds and making magic happen with whatever resources are available. We've collaborated for over 5 years now and regardless of the timeline or target audience, Erika can get things done and connect with an audience effortlessly. Her approachable personality makes people gravitate towards her, and her commanding presence allows you to get things done.  

Erika was an incredibly energetic and engaging speaker who truly captivated our group! Her dynamic presentation style and interactive approach kept everyone involved and inspired. Our group left the session with numerous valuable takeaways that we can immediately apply to our personal and professional lives.

Throughout the entire process, she was extremely communicative and open to anything we may have hoped to address and include during her time with us.

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!

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!

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.

rika Gilchrist is an amazing speaker and inspirational leader. As a speaker/trainer with Monster, Inc., Erika motivated colleagiate recruits for Cisco Systems in an exceptional manner. She is professional, engaging, and always showcases the highest business integrity when working with her corporate clients.

Erika is an amazing presenter and seminar leader, any organization would be lucky to have her. I had the luxury of attending one of her training seminars and I cannot say enough about how positive the experience was. She captivated her audience from the moment she walked in the door, until the conclusion of the course. I highly recommend hiring Erika to speak for your organization or participating in one of her training seminars!

t was a pleasure to work with Erika Gilchrist. She was very helpful while planning our event and making everyone feel welcome as well as getting attendees to feel comfortable participating and sharing their thoughts and questions during the program.

Everything made an impact! From her personal story, energy as a presenter, to the activities and discussion, everything was inspiring. Her presentation is definitely something everyone needs to hear since it’s very thought provoking on the need to continually evaluate one's perspective in order to move to action and reach goals. Attendees leave her program with the desire to apply what they learn.

Attendees had only good things to say about what they learned in this program. Can't wait to have her back at Sauk Valley Community College!

Erika brings an unparalleled level of engagement and connection to our college community. Her ability to instantly connect with both students and staff creates an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. Delivering content with exceptional clarity and relevance, she makes complex concepts not only understandable but also memorable. The lasting impact of her talk continues to inspire meaningful discussions and a shared commitment to excellence among our college community. I've hired her more than 5 times and I'm amazed at how she can continue to elevate our students!
