The Values Revolution: A Global Call to Action
Trust is at an all-time low. From politics to business, communities to organisations, the fractures are visible everywhere. Without a strong, shared commitment to values, we drift into disconnection, disengagement and discontent. This is the urgent challenge of our time, and it’s also our greatest opportunity.
The Values Revolution is a global movement to place values at the heart of how we lead, live and work. It’s a call for individuals and organisations to dig deep, aim high and be true, building trust and resilience for a world in desperate need of change.
In this keynote, Erika presents the Values Revolution Manifesto, an inspiring framework for reshaping our future. She challenges audiences to rethink the role of values, showing how they can anchor decision-making, guide behaviours and create meaningful impact. With real-world stories of transformation, Erika demonstrates how values fosters healthier organisations, stronger communities and better futures.

Active Ethos®: Embedding Values to Build Thriving Cultures
Many organizations talk about values, but too few live them. When values remain aspirational rather than actionable, they fail to shape culture, leaving leaders frustrated and teams disengaged. Without the alignment of values, purpose and action, the disconnect can damage trust and hinder performance.
Active Ethos® is Erika’s signature approach to building cultures that thrive. In this masterclass or speech, she guides delegates through the relentless application of the right values, aligned with a clear vision and purpose. Using compelling and unexpected examples, Erika reveals how Active Ethos® creates cultures of trust, high performance and sustainable growth.
This session is highly interactive, encouraging participants to explore their own organisational values and identify where gaps may exist. They will leave with actionable strategies to close those gaps and bring their values to life in ways that inspire their teams and transform their culture. Active Ethos® is more than a framework, it’s the foundation of enduring success.
Dig Deep: Discovering and Defining Your Corporate Values
Leaders and teams often lack clarity about what truly matters to them. Without clearly articulated values, priorities become muddled, decisions feel inconsistent and alignment is nearly impossible to achieve. This creates confusion and tension, within organisations and in individual leadership styles.
This session takes participants through the transformative journey needed to uncover their core values. Erika uses engaging exercises and proven techniques to guide individuals and teams in identifying what truly drives them. Participants learn how they can articulate their values in ways that are meaningful and practical, enabling clearer decision-making and stronger alignment.
By the end of this session, attendees will have a plan to discover and articulate their organisational values and an understanding of how to use them as a compass for action. With these tools, they’ll feel powered up to lead with integrity, build trust and unlock their potential for growth and success.
Finding the Honey: Crafting a Vision That Inspires Action
Without a compelling vision, even the most talented teams can flounder. A lacklustre or unclear vision fails to inspire, leaving organisations stuck in mediocrity. Leaders often know what they want to achieve but struggle to articulate it in a way that excites and motivates their people. So, what’s your team’s honey?
In this interactive masterclass, Erika shows leaders how to craft a vision so enticing it compels people to act. Drawing on memorable metaphors and real-world success stories, Erika explains what makes a vision ‘sweet and sticky’, the kind that aligns teams and drives results. Participants will explore how to balance ambition with clarity, ensuring their vision is both inspiring and achievable.
The session culminates in practical exercises to create or refine participants’ own vision statements, leaving them with a powerful leadership tool. With Erika’s guidance, leaders will walk away ready to rally their teams around a shared goal, driving engagement, productivity and growth.
Purpose is the key to fulfilment, yet too many leaders feel disconnected from their deeper raison d’etre. Without a clear sense of purpose, even successful individuals can feel adrift, unable to find meaning in their achievements or inspire those around them to their full potential.
This keynote or masterclass is a journey into discovering your purpose and using it as a guide for a more fulfilling life and career. Drawing on models like Aristotle’s Eudaemonia and Japan’s Ikigai, Erika shares powerful techniques for uncovering what truly drives you. Through thought-provoking reflections and real-life examples, she demonstrates how purpose can unlock clarity, motivation and resilience.
By the end of this session, participants will have a deeper understanding of their unique purpose and actionable strategies to live through it. Erika provides tools for aligning work and life with purpose, ensuring greater personal satisfaction and more impactful leadership.
