Ericka has extensive facilitation experience running all types of meetings and designing discussion strategies for workshops, retreats and group discussions. She works closely with her clients to create workshops and trainings that incorporate both clear programs and engaging discussion styles.  Her programs are interactive, subject focused and run on time.

At the Nonprofit HR Conference, Ericka will present on intrapreneurship. Although the concept of intrapreneurship is not new, it is now being applied to doing mission-based work. Social intrapreneurs are employees that are finding innovative ways to align organizational objectives with societal needs. In this workshop, we will explore why nonprofit organizations should explore social intrapreneurship. Specifically, we will share what are the major benefits that social intrapreneurs offer nonprofits; how to spotlight existing intrapreneurs in your organization; why nurturing them is a good thing; and how to pick intrapreneurs in the hiring process.
