Erika Obando

Meet Erika Obando, an internationally acclaimed TEDx speaker, author, and certified Master Life Coach. With a passion for helping individuals amplify their authenticity, Obando's life mission is to empower others to attain a deeper understanding, increased self-assurance, and clear purpose, leading to more rewarding and prosperous achievements.

With almost a decade of keynote speaking and coaching experience, Obando draws from her own life events in overcoming unthinkable hardships, which she shares in her book, “Without A Voice – A Woman’s Journey to Resiliency,” and her TEDx Talk, “When Breaking Points Lead To Empowerment.” She uses her prevailing tools to help others thrive in life, teach how to overcome challenges, and achieve goals regardless of the circumstance.

In addition to her coaching and speaking work, Obando also spends a great portion of her time volunteering as a mentor for high school and college students in South Florida. She believes in the power of paying it forward and is committed to empowering the next generation of leaders.

Obando also has a love for working on cars, and can often be found tinkering under the hood. When she’s not coaching, mentoring, or polishing up her mechanical skills, she loves to spend time with her significant other, enjoying family time and traveling – she is particularly fond of road trips. Obando is also a talented visual artist and enjoys expressing her creativity through painting and other artistic pursuits.
