Speaking
Erin Johnson is a skilled, animated, and deeply engaging speaker whose story captivated the world beginning in 2016 when she embarked on a real-life David and Goliath battle regarding workplace sexual harassment discrimination and retaliation — six months before the takedowns of Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes and The Weinstein Company's Harvey Weinstein. Erin's groundbreaking lawsuit against advertising industry giant WPP and its 153 year-old global brand, J. Walter Thompson is widely credited with igniting a critical conversation and movement that months later adopted the #metoo moniker.
Erin's very public, yet solitary battle lasted two years, and her captivating story focuses on sharing valuable advice for those facing a personal or professional struggle — peppered with poignant personal anecdotes, surprising comedic folly, and a big helping of humility and grace.
