Erika Gilchrist Biography

She is the creator of the brazen brand, W.T.F. – Women Thriving Fearlessly!™. As a published author of 13 books, and a 24-year speaking veteran, Ms. Gilchrist is an expert in personal development, leadership training, abuse prevention escape, DEI+B, and conflict management skills for women. She has built a thriving business from absolutely nothing to now being the owner of the largest expo for women in business in Chicagoland appropriately called the Women Thriving Fearlessly Expo™.

Erika Gilchrist Speaking Topics
This keynote breaks down the many faces of domestic violence (physical, emotional, financial, psychological, and digital) so audiences can recognize what abuse really looks like, even when it doesn’t leave a bruise. I teach how to spot warning signs early, build healthy relationship foundations, and create personalized safety plans for those looking to escape. Advocates and allies will walk away with tools to support survivors without judgment or burnout. Leaders will understand how domestic violence quietly drains company resources through absenteeism, turnover, and liability. This talk delivers raw truth, real strategies, and the kind of awareness that saves lives, and dollars.
In this deeply transformative workshop, we delve into the profound impact of personal development in our lives. Leading authentically, having deep connections with others, and bravely presenting who you are to the world centers on your ability to go toe-to-toe with the person you are so you can transform into the being you wish to be. Neglecting personal growth can hinder our mental and emotional well-being, leading to unfulfilled potential and missed opportunities. Get ready for tears, laughter, ah-ha moments, and self reflection in these heartfelt strategies that nurture your mental and emotional health.
This talk pulls back the curtain on high-achieving exhaustion disguised as success — exposing the silent struggle behind polished leadership. This keynote delivers a powerful blend of truth, strategy, and liberation that helps driven professionals protect their purpose without sacrificing themselves in the process.
This topic is ideal for emerging leaders to start them off with a strong foundation so they can lead through their strengths and their authenticity. This topic is universal, but is very popular in the college & university community.
This is a compelling keynote that emphasizes how intertwining personal growth with professional development cultivates empathetic, resilient, and authentic leaders. Backed by research and real-world examples, it makes a compelling case for nurturing holistic leadership skills in the modern workplace.
