I've had the privilege to work with

Erika is an amazing communicator, supporter and facilitator. She goes beyond for all the people she works with, and getting to work with her is very special. I recommend taking up this opportunity; she changes lives!

- Elise Klein Associate Professor Elise Klein (OAM) | Australian National University ANU

I had the pleasure of working alongside Erika facilitating programs for women and girls with YWCA Victoria. Together we worked with a wide range of women who often faced great barriers to participation. Erika's enthusiasm and empathy created an environment that was full of fun, curiosity, compassion and exploration. Erika has the capacity to connect warmly with young women, free of judgment and full of acceptance. Her experience, knowledge and drama background means that she has activities, ideas, games and creative solutions for any situation. I am excited to see that she is offering to make a Dramatic Difference in the lives of girls and young women, who all deserve the opportunity to explore their own strengths and self expression in a beautiful safe space.

Having chaired Global Village Learning, I am aware of the multiple system wide failures in schools that contribute to distress and developmental deficits in young people. Having two daughters I have witnessed through their peer groups firsthand the struggles that can occur with friendships, anxiety and self-esteem, I cannot recommend Dramatically Different highly enough. Erika has an effortless capacity to respond intuitively and emotionally to every girl or woman’s needs. She is compassionate and determined to ensure everyone has an opportunity to build their strengths and confidence. Erika’s creativity in all areas is a unique and outstanding strength for coaching, collaborating and strategic innovation.

Erika designed and delivered a highly specialist support program for the Council of Single Mothers and their Children over a 3 year period. She worked with dedication and determination to improve the lives of vulnerable women and families, provide individualised support, and assist them to define their goals and aspirations. Erika has great positivity and authenticity, and is professional, creative, and deeply caring. She has an innate ability to establish rapport with diverse individuals, organisations, and business services. I’m sure that with Dramatically Different she can make a very positive impact in the lives of girls.

Erika was sooooo understanding and extremely insightful! I ended the call with tears of happiness streaming down my face like flood gates had been opened! I felt confident, understood, supported and very comfortable. Erika opened my eyes to so many things I never realised about myself and has helped me find my self worth all over again.

I can't thank you enough for all that you have done for me this year. You are a fantastic person who is friendly, supportive and kind. You always go out of your way to ensure that whatever you are in charge of runs smoothly. This all comes from your soft heart. I will never forget what you did in this program for me.

Thank you so so much Erika from the depths of my heart. You helped me to wipe away my fear, from being scared to connect with other people to feeling that I do have a voice, that has helped me to have the confidence in being able to speak up when it's needed the most.

- Katie Shepparton

Erika is one of a kind, generous & dedicated. She genuinely cares about the physical, mental & emotional wellbeing of all of her clients & will work with them to find what lights them up & brings them joy. She has been amazing with our 13 year old daughter Zoe. She has helped Zoe discover her voice, presence & impact. Zoe radiates after all her sessions with Erika and we recommend her services wholeheartedly.
