Who's Invited: Attendance is limited to all leaders at the Director-level and above within middle market and large organizations exceeding $10mm and/or 50+ employees. For this multigenerational event only, participants are encouraged to invite one "Millennial guest" (mentee, subordinate, relative, etc.).

Note from the EWS President & Founder:

This is a very unique and memorable opportunity to hear from Dr. Erica Miller, one of very few remaining Holocaust survivors (she was in a Ukrainian concentration camp at age seven). Dr. Miller is hands-down one of the most impressive, optimistic, and brilliant human beings I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Dr. Miller will be joining us at Lucy’s Restaurant in the Landmark (DTC) at 4pm on April 12 to lead an interactive and intimate discussion about “Guts, Grit, & Gusto - Life Lessons of a Holocaust Survivor”.

This will be an intimate and inspirational discussion between cross-functional leaders throughout the local community. We are also encouraging qualified leaders to bring a millennial guest! I think it is so important that our “future” leaders learn the powerful and relevant lessons we will discuss at this event. I look forward to seeing you on April 12.

Meet Our Keynote Speaker:

Dr. Erica Miller and her family were among thousands of Jews herded into cattle cars and imprisoned in a Nazi holding camp in Mogilev, Ukraine, when she was just seven. After living in a concentration camp for several years, her family emigrated to Israel in 1949, when she was 15. She served in the Air Force proudly from 1954-1956. Next, Dr. Miller was able to attend University of Judaism (now American Jewish University) to pursue a degree in Hebrew education. In 1970, Erica returned to school and eight years later, graduated with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. Shortly afterwards, her and her husband opened a chain of mental health clinics throughout Los Angeles and Orange County. In addition, they ran California Diversion Intervention Foundation, a non-profit organization, offering programs to serve the needs of the substance abuse and domestic violence population referred by the Courts. Today, in addition to public speaking, Dr. Miller oversees her family’s real estate business in Austin, Texas. She’s written three books, “The Dr. Erica Miller Story: From Trauma to Triumph, “Don’t Tell Me I Can’t Do It: Living Audaciously in the Here and Now” and the international best-seller, "Chronologically Gifted: Aging with Gusto!”

Topic Summary & Key Take-Aways:

We have all faced significant hardships, particularly as we navigate the COVID-19 landscape. Now more than ever, it is critical for leaders to remain positive and visionary - to motivate themselves and others to strive for fulfillment, excellence, gratitude, and hope.

Dr. Erica Miller is a highly gifted speaker, author, clinician, mother, and wife. Join our interactive and impactful discussion as Dr. Miller shares her learning lessons as a young girl in the Holocaust, and how they led her to personal and professional success.

Additionally, we will discuss:

• Level-up with Guts, Grit and Gusto. Embrace key life lessons from a Holocaust survivor.
• The art of becoming "chronologically gifted', and aging with acceptance and enthusiasm.
• A clinician's perspective on aligning physical and mental health.
• Living in the here and now - the power of presence, optimism and self-reliance.
