Dr. Andy Erlich is a clinical psychologist with extensive training and experience in the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorders, ADHD, and schizoaffective disorder. He is also a renowned author, motivational speaker, consultant and a certified yoga instructor.
Throughout his career as a psychologist, Erlich pursued his deep interest in how our differences both connect and divide us. This led to a parallel career as a consultant and award-winning motivational speaker, offering keynote addresses, training exercises and cultural immersion experiences to preeminent organizations worldwide. He shared his unique insights about the intersection of psychology and culture in his first two books, "Selling to Latinos" and "Exploring Culture: How to do Business with 17 Cultural and Religious Groups." In 2011, he published his third book, "The Long Shadows: The Story of Jake Erlich."
Erlich’s unique combination of psychological skills and cultural insights has proven to be extremely appealing to the media, which has called on him throughout his career to write bylined articles and to offer expert commentary for news and trends stories. His byline has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Adweek, Los Angeles Magazine, Ad Age Magazine and Marketing News, among others. He has also been quoted in such prominent publications as Forbes, USA Today, BusinessWeek, Newsweek and The New York Times.
As a media personality, Erlich has appeared as a featured guest on local, national and international Spanish-language radio and television programs, including Univision’s 2006 Peabody-award winning series, "El 15% de los Estados Unidos." He also served as a consultant for the Oscar- and Emmy Award-winning film, "Number Our Days," which examines the challenges and promises of healthy aging.
Speech Topics
The Yoga of Change
In recent decades, the pace of change has been accelerating, transforming our economy, social institutions, political system, businesses and much more. In this engagement, Andy shares cutting-edge psychological research and the 5,000-year-old wisdom of yoga to answer one of the most common and vexing human dilemmas: “How do we find the insight, strength and creativity we need to deal successfully with the inevitable and ongoing changes in our lives?”
Cross-Cultural Success
Successful companies develop an in-depth understanding of their customers and their habits, preferences, values and lifestyle choices. This is especially important for businesses entering new ethnic or religious markets, where a lack of cultural sensitivity can make the difference between success and failure. In this engagement, Andy helps attendees improve the effectiveness of their marketing, sales and customer service operations by recognizing and overcoming their cultural stereotypes and gaining the insights and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly multicultural society.
Freeing the Giant
In this amazing session on resilience, diversity and emotional intelligence, Andy tells the true-life story of his beloved Uncle Jake, who, at 8 foot 6, was considered the tallest man in the world. Freeing the Giant is the inspiring tale of a depressed and alienated child who overcame adversity to become a silent film star and circus performer as well as a renowned artist, musician, poet, vaudevillian and business executive.
