Erika doesn't just draw on lived experience when she speaks or advises.
She draws on science.
As co-founder of NeonID, she brings psychometric precision to every engagement. NeonID is built on HEXACO, one of the most rigorously validated personality frameworks in psychology. It maps who people truly are across six dimensions, with scientific accuracy that most personality tools can't match.
For corporate teams: NeonID assessments are available as an add-on to speaking and advisory engagements. Team personality mapping.
Communication calibration. Leadership alignment.
This isn't a workshop exercise. It's the science behind how Erika operates, and how she helps organizations operate better.
