Audience impact
Long after the applause fades.
Erica Harris is an inspired and heartfelt speaker, who provides gritty and heart provoking thought on what a gift life truly is. Her message of hope, courage, resilience and love is the simplest foundational formula for success!
Izumi Miki McGruerManaging Director, Freedom 55 Financial
Erica Harris has a tremendous and inspiring story story that cuts to the heart of our humanity. Her moving story of overcoming significant and personal adversity in the setting of overwhelming odds had great impact upon the audience of healthcare professionals at the annual Canadian Critical Care Conference. She presents herself in a personable, humble, yet straightforward manner. She teaches us all that in the end, it’s not the adversity that defines us but rather we are defined by how we choose to meet the challenges that come our way. I have been privileged to see Erica present her story.
Dr. Vinay DhingraCritical Care and Internal Medicine Physician
Dr. Erica Harris is one of the most inspirational women, if not the most, that I have ever met in my entire life. What she went through as a young mom is just incredible but what is even more incredible is her resilience, her passion and her dedication for making life better for all of you! Just wait until you hear her speak- she speaks straight from the heart and soul. She is authentic and genuine. You will laugh, you will cry and you won’t believe it!
