SPEAKER • THOUGHT LEADER • CATALYST FOR TRANSFORMATION
Survival mode kept you alive. It was never meant to be your home.
ERIKA BOGAN HELPS PEOPLE SEE CLEARLY, THINK DIFFERENTLY,
AND RECLAIM THEIR POWER.
#IT WASN’T
ABOUT ERIKA
She teaches people to see clearly.
Erika Bogan is a trauma-aware leadership speaker, co-founder of Dealers of Hope, and someone who summited Mount Kilimanjaro, in her wheelchair & carried on the backs of others, to prove that real strength is knowing when to trust, when to ask, and when to let go.
Her work is not about surviving. It is about seeing differently. Awareness changes everything and Erika knows exactly how to shift it.
WHAT SHE SPEAKS ABOUT
Three Lenses. One Shift.
01
Signture Keynote
The Shelter
Survival mode was a temporary emergency shelter. This keynote helps high-achievers recognize when the armor has outlived its purpose — and what it takes to move from surviving to leading.
02
#ItWasnt
Erika walks audiences through the moments that shape us and reveals that it is never the event that defines us. It is always the interpretation. This keynote challenges people to rethink the stories they have accepted as truth. When people walk out, they begin questioning the stories they've been living inside.
03
Trauma-Aware Leadership
The people on your team don't leave their nervous systems at the door. This talk helps leaders understand what's actually driving behavior — in their teams and in themselves — so they can build cultures where people don't have to keep surviving just to show up.
“Erika is an inspiration to people the world over. I’ve known her for over 10 years, not just as a colleague but also as a trusted friend, and I can assure you that they don’t make people with her level of grit, determination, and spirit anymore. She has a passion for encouraging and inspiring others to reach their optimum in life that is unlike anything I have ever seen. I’ll endorse her for now.. only until I can afford to have her come work with me! ”
“Erika spoke for American Dream U at Fort Sill, OK to transitioning service members and their spouses. Her story truly connected with and inspired the audience. We are grateful she was able to give back to our nation’s military.”
THE WORLD BEHIND THE WORK
The work doesn’t end at the stage.
Everything Erika teaches and speaks about, she brings to life, in Tanzania, in communities, and in the people who are ready to go deeper.
• Transformation through experience in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and the journey that begins when you step off the map.
• Two nonprofits, one in the USA and one in Tanzania, for those who want their life to mean something beyond themselves.
• Coaching and community for those ready to live differently, not just think differently.
"Everything I teach and speak about, we bring to life through our experiences in Tanzania." –ERIKA
