Meet Erika Obando, an internationally acclaimed TEDx Speaker, Author, and Certified Master Life Coach. With a passion for helping individuals amplify their authenticity, Erika’s life mission is to empower people to live and work with enthusiastic presence.
With almost a decade of keynote speaking and coaching experience, Erika draws from her own life experiences in overcoming unthinkable hardships, which she shares in her book, “Without A Voice – A Woman’s Journey to Resiliency,” and her TEDx Talk, “When Breaking Points Lead To Empowerment.” She uses these tools to help others thrive in life, teaching them that they too can overcome challenges and achieve their goals regardless of their circumstances.
In addition to her coaching and speaking work, Erika also spends a great portion of her time volunteering as a mentor for high school and college students in South Florida. She believes in the power of paying it forward and is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders.
Erika also has a love for working on cars and can often be found tinkering under the hood. When she’s not coaching, mentoring, or polishing up her mechanical skills, Erika loves to spend time with her significant other, enjoying family time, traveling and is particularly fond of road trips. She’s also a talented visual artist and enjoys expressing her creativity through painting and other artistic pursuits.
