Topics for Erika Cramer

  • The high performance mindset
    How high performers build the grit, self-belief, and mental toughness to lead at their best
    The gap between a high performer and someone performing at their highest level is almost never about skill, experience, or intelligence, it is mindset. Drawing on Stanford psychologist Albert Bandura's self-efficacy research and Angela Duckworth's work on grit, Erika gives audiences a practical, research-backed framework for the mental habits that make high performance repeatable, and the resilience to keep showing up when conditions stop cooperating.
    Best for: Sales kickoffs, annual conferences, leadership summits, employee development days, association conferences. Works for any industry, any seniority level, any audience size.
  • The resilient leader
    How senior leaders build the mental toughness and presence to lead at the highest level
    At the highest levels of leadership, the technical skills that got you there are not the thing that keep you there, what keeps you there is the ability to lead through uncertainty without losing your people. Drawing on Harvard Business Review's resilience research and Google's Project Aristotle findings on psychological safety, Erika gives senior leaders the inner framework for leading themselves through adversity and the practical tools for creating teams that perform at their highest under pressure.
    Best for: Executive retreats, C-suite events, leadership development programs, management off-sites, sales leadership conferences, senior team away days.
  • The mental edge
    How leaders build the mindset to navigate change, overcome adversity, and perform at their best
    The difference between a leader who performs through change and one who gets stuck in it is rarely experience or talent, it is the mental habits they have built and how they have learned to respond when circumstances stop cooperating. Drawing on Steven Hayes' clinical research on psychological flexibility, Erika gives audiences the tools to feel the discomfort of change, uncertainty, or adversity fully and still move toward what matters, making this keynote ideal for change programs, R U OK Day, and mental health and wellbeing days.
    Best for: Annual conferences, leadership summits, change management events, mental health and wellbeing days, R U OK Day and World Mental Health Month programming, resilience programs.
  • Lead without limits
    How high performers break through their own barriers and step into the leader they are capable of being
    Most high performers are not held back by a lack of opportunity, talent, or experience, they are held back by themselves and the gap between who they are being and who they know they are capable of becoming. Drawing on Albert Bandura's research on self-efficacy and Carl Rogers' work on the real self versus the ideal self, Erika gives audiences the inner framework and the practical process for closing that gap for good.
    Best for: Leadership development programs, personal growth conferences, management off-sites, professional development events, sales conferences.
  • Show up. Stand up. Speak up.
    How women step into authority, speak up, and get seen
    Women's leadership events, International Women's Day, DEI programming, and women's ERGs are one of the strongest categories in the Australian speaking market, and Erika is one of the most in-demand voices in this space. She gives audiences the confidence to speak with authority in rooms where they have historically been overlooked, the tools to ask for what they want, and a shift in identity from doing good work quietly to leading visibly and unapologetically.
    Best for: Women in leadership events, IWD conferences, women's ERG programming, DEI summits, industry conferences with women's tracks, Business Chicks-style events.
