The Erika Monaé Group (EMG) is a leadership and professional development firm dedicated to creating experiences where relationships, strategy, and leadership move people and organizations forward.

Founded by Erika Monaé Lewis—award-winning entrepreneur, leadership and networking strategist, Certified HR Professional, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach®—EMG operates at the intersection of coaching, consulting, training, and experiential activations. Our work supports leaders, entrepreneurs, and organizations navigating growth, influence, and impact across work, business, and community.

EMG is also the home of Networking on Purpose™, a national platform and philosophy designed to close the networking gap through philanthropy by reframing networking as a give-first, strategic practice. Through this lens, EMG hosts events, workshops, and convenings that prioritize authentic connection, clarity of intention, and meaningful action.

From leadership workshops and networking experiences to immersive activations and community-based gatherings, EMG events are designed to move participants beyond inspiration—equipping them with the tools, relationships, and insight needed to build beyond the room and create measurable progress.
