Scale the mission, not the survival strategy.

Executive Coaching and Organizational Development for Mission-Driven Leaders

Work With Me

Featured in:

Every organization runs on three systems at once. Most people are only working on one.

You are... growingmission-led

You want to...

Lead from your values, not your nervous system.

You got here because you're exceptionally capable, deeply committed, and trusted to deliver. Those strengths built a lot. Now they can also pull you into taking on too much, overpreparing, smoothing, proving, or stepping in too soon — because if you don't, something important gets dropped, the standard slips, or someone gets hurt. You want to lead with more choice, more self-trust, and more alignment between what you value and how you lead."

Create a team culture where people speak honestly, take ownership, and solve problems directly.

You want people to raise issues early, make decisions, and follow through without waiting for you to step in. You want fewer side conversations, fewer dropped balls, and fewer problems reaching you after they should have been handled — and fewer moments where you're the one smoothing it over, again, because no one else did.

Build an organization that does not depend on one or a few peoples’s capacity.

You want roles, decisions, and ways of working that actually support the mission instead of rewarding overextension. You’re ready for a business or organization that can grow without requiring you to be the glue, the memory, and the nervous system for the whole thing, even when handing off more of it feels like risking the mission or losing a sense of who you are.

Better systems can help. They're rarely the whole answer.

By the time people come to me, they usually know the old way isn’t going to get them where they want to go. They may be looking at EOS or another framework to help them grow, delegate, or get more of the business out of their head.

Sometimes that is part of the answer. But if the same patterns, and relationship dynamics keep repeating themselves inside every new structure, the issue is not just operational.

I look at three layers at once: the leader, the team, and the operations, because they are always reinforcing other.

You can change roles, meetings, and decision-making and still end up with the same tension in a new form.

You can coach the leader and still have a team culture or structure that keeps recreating the problem. If you want real change, you have to work with the whole system.

My background in social psychology, Internal Family Systems, and leadership work at Facebook and Microsoft lets me see the human and structural patterns that other approaches treat separately.

As your trusted advisor, I bring rigor, humor, and directness. I will ask the question the others avoid. I will name the pattern no one wants to admit. And I will help you turn that insight into lasting change.

More About Erin

Happy Clients

I hired Dr. Erin as my business coach a few years ago, when my company's revenue was still under seven figures. Since then, we have grown to well over a million dollars in revenue, and I recently brought Dr. Erin back to work not only with me, but with my growing team of five. Their coaching has helped us evolve as leaders and as an organization. Using the ILOS framework, we are building the structure to support where we are going next, strengthening the foundation of both our business and our team. I am already seeing greater confidence, ownership, clarity, and alignment with each team member, especially around the values we want to embody for our clients and for ourselves. Dr. Erin brings the rare ability to support both individual leadership growth and broader organizational development, and I highly recommend them to any mission-driven leader who wants to grow with intention.JoAnna W, President of Bill Westcott, Inc
I went in to coaching thinking I needed to build a better business. In reality Erin showed me I needed to build a better me. Erin systematically helped me to do exactly that. And in turn, I built a better business. I no longer feel burdened by my ambitions but have more clarity about what exactly it is I want to achieve in life. My wife also told me after working with them: “Erin has made you a better husband.” That’s priceless. Joe L, Trusted Advisor to CEOS and Founders
With Erin’s guidance, I made more progress in my career and as a leader than I’ve ever thought possible! Erin can see the potential in me that I sometimes can’t see in myself, and they share the hard truths when they know I need to hear them. Sarah K, Founder of Outpass Trekking & Co-Founder of Bowl & Kettle
I came to Erin in a period of real uncertainty. They helped me move through that ambiguity with clarity, confidence, and compassion. Their approach blended deep expertise with remarkable emotional intelligence and helped me reconnect with my values, strengths, and priorities in a way that reshaped how I think and lead.
