Erica Gifford Mills
When Life Knocks You Down and You Decide to Rise Anyway Some women read about resilience. Erica Gifford Mills became it. She’s an
international speaker, award-winning author, empowerment coach, talk radio host, and the heart behind Balanced Symmetree™ but her story didn’t start on a stage or in a boardroom.
FEMALE ENTREPRENEURS MAGAZINE The Accelerator prepares you. The Summit elevates you. The Gala honors you. Together, Lead Like a Woman, the Accelerator, the Summit, and the Gala create a full- circle ecosystem—where women prepare, rise, and are celebrated for leading with truth, courage, and influence. It started in the trenches. After facing a breast cancer diagnosis and the unimaginable loss of her son, Erica hit that crossroads we don’t talk about enough as women: Shrink… or rise. She chose to rise. Not perfectly. Not instantly. But intentionally. And from that choice, a movement was born. Balanced Symmetree™: Healing, Growth & Leadership With Both Feet on the Ground Erica’s work isn’t about “fixing” women. It’s about rooting them. Through Balanced Symmetree™, she: Speaks on stages to help women lead with heart instead of hustle Coaches high-achieving women craving depth, not just more to-do lists Writes books that feel like a journal, a mirror, and a permission slip all at once She is building a trilogy to help women be seen and heard, beginning with Lead Like a Woman. The journey starts in the Women of Influence Accelerator, a 6-week virtual speaker training, continues onto the global stage at the International Women Speakers Summit, and culminates at the International Women of Influence Gala, honoring women who lead and create impact.
