"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!"
