You have been living inside a story that was never true.
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 #ItWasnt
The thing that changed your life was not what you think it was. This keynote rewires how audiences understand their own stories, and the moment they walk out, they see differently.
02
Trauma Aware Leadership
For organizations ready to lead with humanity, not just efficiency. Erika shows leaders how awareness, not authority, is what actually moves people and teams forward.
03
The Thinking Behind The Living
You are not stuck because of your situation. You are stuck because of how you think about it. A practical keynote on metacognition, thinking about your thinking.
“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
