You’re on your way up.
Let’s unlock that next big step.

Most leadership development focuses on what you should do. I start with what's actually stopping you from doing it.

Whether you’re mapping a path to the C-suite, leading a high-growth startup, or considering a career pivot, if you’re considering coaching, it’s because you feel like something’s missing, or keeping you from having greater impact.

My clients work at organizations of every size, from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 companies. They value rigor, self-awareness, and constant learning and improvement. Depending on their unique needs, we might work on clarifying their leadership values, exploring how a mindset shift could unlock new possibilities, or examining how they can best continue showing up authentically for themselves, their teams, and colleagues. 

What we’ll accomplish together: 

  • Deepen your ability to lead through growth and uncertainty

  • Strengthen your internal compass to act with conviction in high-stakes “leadership moments”

  • Expand your influence and impact beyond your direct scope

  • Communicate with greater clarity across all levels of the organization

  • Better navigate strategic career transitions, and craft a leadership path that maximizes both fulfillment and impact

  • Erin provided invaluable thought partnership as I navigated the early months of starting my company - including an eventual breakup with my original cofounder. She asked questions that helped me develop greater self-awareness, and helped me become more confident making timely, critical decisions that had a major impact on my business. Our work together pushed me to excel.

  • I didn't know what to expect from coaching going in, but working with Erin has been totally invaluable. I was treating the operational side of my business as an afterthought - my non-client work consistently took a backseat to everything else. Erin has been a great forcing function for me to think strategically about these things and put in the real work. She's helped me turn boring, ad hoc processes into repeatable systems that actually generate leads and reduce stress. I genuinely feel much more confident in my ability to run the operational side of a business than I did at the beginning of the year. Erin is a successful operator who's built companies herself, and that experience shows in everything we work on together.

  • For years, I struggled with wanting to be everything to everyone. It made me feel relevant. Erin helped me see that this behavior was coming at a cost. Learning to be more intentional with how I spend my time - and create healthy boundaries as my work expands across even more teams - has been a game-changer. Erin created a safe space for me to explore the experiences, values, and fears that made me who I am today, and her supportive but still challenging style helped me experiment with who I want and need to be to continue advancing in my career.

  • Erin is an incredible coach, listener, and dot-connector. She has a wonderful way of helping me notice patterns or prompting me to reflect on things that I never would have explored before. Thanks to our conversations about mindset, my relationship with work has dramatically improved. My stress/anxiety is lower and my relationships with fellow leaders have improved. It feels indulgent to be working with someone who is so focused on supporting my growth - each time we meet I feel more energized and inspired about what I can try next.

    Katie S., Exec at a Public Benefit Corporation

  • Before working with Erin, I never really put into words how my values play out in how I show up as a leader. Doing this work was eye-opening. One of my core values is around caring for others. I realized that I could live this value more closely by better empowering my teams and learning how to have tough conversations when they're warranted. I've been able to test out some new ways of leading and I'm seeing my team's performance improve. With Erin's partnership, I'm starting to really get that leadership is more about people skills and less about technical abilities.

  • Erin was instrumental in my transition from a larger company to an early-stage startup. She helped guide me through various situations, acting as a sounding board when needed or sharing insights from her wealth of Customer Success knowledge. Erin’s genuine care for my growth and success was evident in every conversation!

    Madeline H., Partnerships Lead at a VC Backed SaaS Company

  • Erin is the most powerful coach you could ask for if you are a leader or aspire to be one someday. Erin taught me how to turn problems into advantages by expanding my solutioning framework. During our time together, I went from being a sales IC to the head of my company’s sales team and then the head of sales at an early-stage startup.

My approach to coaching

One part guide, one part thought partner. Together, we’ll direct your natural curiosity toward the questions that unlock the next level of leadership impact. This means examining what has driven your success thus far, while surfacing unconscious assumptions and beliefs that may still be holding you back. We will uncover and explore patterns you haven't yet recognized, and build self-awareness that opens the door to new possibilities for how you lead and the impact you create.

Twenty years of building companies and leading teams means I understand many of the dynamics you're navigating. My experience as a coach — including my extensive training with the Hudson Institute — provides me with proven methodologies to identify what's blocking your progress and guide you in clearing the path forward. This combination of deep operational expertise and coaching mastery is rare - and it’s what allows me to accelerate both individual and organizational transformation.
