Biography

Say the name Erin Brockovich and you think, strong, tough and stubborn. Erin is all that and more. A formerly-unknown legal researcher who became a 20th century icon overnight thanks to Julia Roberts Oscar-winning tour de force, Erin’s dogged persistence was the impelling force behind the largest medical settlement lawsuit in history. And she’s kept fighting for the people one town at a time. In her latest book, Superman’s Not Coming, she brings to light the stark truths of America today: Resources are exhausted; corruption is rampant; infrastructure is outdated; water and health issues affect us all--rich and poor, Republicans and Democrats. Erin gives permission and empowers people to take action so that they can save their families, their communities, and the planet. Erin uses her life experiences to motivate and bring inspiration to audiences worldwide, providing lessons on her four steps to success, her motto for resilience and perseverance, and advocacy for the causes that matter. Her motto comes from famed biologist Rachel Carson: "We are challenged as mankind has never been challenged before to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature, but of ourselves." Erin teaches that it will be up to us, we the people, to change our course.

Speech Topics

  • Four Steps to Success

    Erin has achieved much to be admired. But it didn't just happen. Hear from Erin her Four Steps to Success which include: -LOGIC: Don't see Logic as only intellect, but use your common sense and listen to your instincts. After all, they are the spouse to logic. -LEVERAGE: Get Your Leverage ON! Don't let this word scare you. Leverage can help strengthen your voice and strengthen you as an individual so that you can be heard! Remember, in mathematics, leverage means 1+1=2. But in principle, leverage means 1+1=1000! -LOYALTY: This is stick-to-it-iveness and is something you must have to see your way to the end. -AND: The burning question we all have..."Why Do I Do This?" Well, it's LOVE, ACTUALLY!

  • RAM: Realization, Assessment, and Motivation

    Erin lives according to the guidelines she likes to call RAM. The R is for Realization. She believes you have to realize who YOU are, good and bad, before you can begin to know where you are going. A is for Assessment. Take stock, not in what you have, but in who you are. Look at your skills, weakness, strengths and applying traits where they need to be and let go of the bad ones. M is for Motivation. It’s hard to stay motivated in the world today and motivation is the steam that keeps us going. Motivation is about taking time for self renewal. We all need our batteries charged yet never take the time to do it and then just burn out. Erin's ability to continue the good work she has done on behalf of other people is due to her belief in the above and she shares her story and tools for success with audiences nationwide.

  • The Power of One

    Erin Brockovich is one of those rare individuals whose own true story has become part of our public consciousness. Seen by millions as a symbol of American justice and the importance of fighting for the truth, Brockovich continues to speak out on behalf of those who can’t. After uncovering a 30-year long history of poisoning the groundwater in Hinkley, CA by PG&E, Brockovich dug in and didn’t give up until she had exposed the truth—and had gotten justice for its victims. She truly is proof that one person can make a difference, and she believes that everyone—in their own way—can do the same.

  • Virtual Programming

    If you’ve followed legendary environmental activist and lawyer ERIN BROCKOVICH since the iconic movie that made her a household name, you know that she is still at it - and there’s still lots of work to do to protect and secure an environmentally safe food and water supply. In her latest book, Superman’s Not Coming, and in her new podcast of the same name, she brings to light stark truths. Erin gives permission and empowers people to take action so that they can save their families, their communities, and the planet. Erin works for environmental justice at the national level, but more directly in local communities inspiring grassroots workers to demand better from their community and state politicians. She founded the Community Healthbook website to enable individuals and communities to post and share information about environmental, medical and pharmaceutical issues gone wrong in their local communities.
