How I’m different…

I combine a practical, grounded nature with deep humanity. I might ask you questions like “What scares you about that outcome?” or “What is waiting for you on the other side of this challenge?” or even “How does this bruise you?”

I am your biggest fan, and I tailor our work together to help you get to where you want to be.

How it works:

  1. Start with a free consult where I’ll listen for what you want, what is and is not working, and the change you want to see.

  2. Session Proposal for individual, customized sessions in a confidential space we’ll create together.

    *Work at an academic institution? This type of coaching often fits under start-up funds, grant development, or continuing education after I become an approved vendor.

  3. Attunement, Accountability, and Feedback to help you achieve what you dream of doing.

  • “With the tools and skills I’ve gained from Erin, I’ve significantly increased both my own and my team’s productivity.”

    She provided a lot of support behind the scenes in asking strong, clarifying questions as I was organizing the department. How does that help me as a leader? The coaching clarified my intent and helped me be precise in my vision. I was better able to design tasks, develop timelines, and empower others in their roles.

  • "Erin helps me make more time for research."

    The life of a new assistant professor means juggling lots of balls and expectations: writing & submitting grants, papers, running active grants, data collection, managing people, teaching… Rather than run around playing whack-a-mole, Erin has helped me take inventory of the systems I’m currently using and intentionally create productive systems that better use my time and help me manage my teams effectively.

  • "A colleague called yesterday and said, 'Jessica, it looks like you’re thriving. I love watching you and your career blossom.'"

    I’ve published more in a shorter amount of time and the visibility and reception of my work is improving. Offhand opportunities I desired but never thought would happen actually are. And so I find your coaching to be really practical and accessible, but also it's seeping into how I conduct my life.

  • “I’ve gained mental tools that help me navigate all my different demands.”

    I've never formally worked with a coach, so I was curious, maybe at times doubtful, but also surprised at how beneficial it can be. Working with Erin has helped me clarify my goals in terms of what I want, and how to better achieve them more easily through my organization. Just last week one of my colleagues asked if I had been taking public speaking courses – that’s how clear and determined I’m coming across now.

  • "I don’t want to use the term life-changing, though it was."

    Before we met, I was surviving but I was also sacrificing my sanity to get things done. You helped me prioritize what I was doing and how to effectively move work through a system. I felt like I was able to take back control on a lot of things that had spiraled out of control.

  • "Erin is very affirming and has helped me build more belief in myself that I can do great things."

    I had some ideas about what I wanted to improve in myself and my organization, but I didn’t know how to ask for them. Erin is so good at digesting what I say and mapping that onto meaningful tools that give me more insight into myself, my vision, and my plans. I now have a sense of what’s important to me.
