“It was amazing to have Erica with us, and I just wanted to say a big thank you for bringing the energy to our morning and getting the team interacting and opening up. I was really pleased with the amount of sharing they warmed to and how their examples were all quite personal but allowed the conversation to get them thinking about AI not just as task but as research, thinking time, coaching and practising.
It was a great forerunner for her follow up slot at our Learning at Work week and we know that will be a fun session for a wider audience.”

Erica challenged our PowerToHR 4 audience to think bigger, move faster, and stay credible in the age of AI. Her keynote and fireside chat were a strong reminder that technology is changing fast, but the role of HR has never been more important.”

“I met Erica at an L&D event and was impressed by her warmth and down-to- earth approach. I booked her for a keynote speech and workshop on Al as part of an emerging leadership conference. Her content was practical and engaging, her style upbeat and often amusing. I would highly recommend Erica if you’re looking to engage staff in conversations about Al and the related skills at your organisation.”
Global Head of Learning and Development, lon Group – Virtual UK & USA Audience, June 2025
“I wanted to take a moment to share how positive our experience was with Erica Farmer. She not only delivered on everything that was promised but truly exceeded expectations. Both our guests and our team left the session feeling inspired and with a much clearer understanding of how to use AI—whether they were complete beginners or already somewhat familiar with it. The session struck a great balance between being informative, engaging, and enjoyable.
What stood out in particular was how interactive the experience was. Erica created a comfortable and open environment that encouraged participants to ask questions, explore tools themselves, and really engage with the content in a hands-on way.
Overall, we are extremely pleased with how everything went and would like to extend our sincere thanks to Erica for her excellent work, dedication, and energy.”
European Talent Director, Joico, Henkle – Eindhoven, The Netherlands, March 2026
“We invited Erica to deliver the “Al for the Average Joe” session. Like most businesses, we are on a Journey with Al and keen to develop our understanding of the potential impact and opportunities Al presents across all areas of our day-to-day roles.
Erica delivered a keynote speech in the morning and a hands-on interactive session in the afternoon playing with ChatGPT and she went down a storm with the team. Thanks, Erica for an engaging, insightful and fun day. Thoroughly recommend this session to any organisation as part of their Al journey.”
Head of Leaming, Biffa – London, UK, September 2025
