TEAM & SYSTEMS COACHING | FACILITATION | PEER EXCHANGES

You can be a great leader…
and still have a team that’s struggling.

That’s not a personal failing—that’s workplace (and human) reality!

Whether your team is stuck in something hard or reaching for something new, you may need a little something extra for what you’re trying to do together.

What's Needed?

What if leading didn’t land on one person’s shoulders?

It takes ongoing, intentional work to form strong teams — work that too often gets crowded out by everyone's day-to-day demands.

No amount of individual leadership development or advice can replace what only the team can build together.

But with the right time, structure, and shared accountability, teams can become something more than a collection of capable individuals — and the weight of that work can stop landing on you alone.

What does your team need?
Let’s find a starting point.

Just a few questions to help you name what's going on — and what kind of work might help.

(Or skip the quiz and read them all.)

Create the time, space, and energy for teaming.

HOW I WORK

I help you do the work behind the work.

TEAM & SYSTEMS COACHING

Helping the team see itself as a whole, take collective accountability for how it's doing, and build the muscle to self-correct without waiting for someone else to name the thing.

VISION & ALIGNMENT

Helping teams articulate what they're building toward — and reconnect to their best hopes — when the day-to-day starts to crowd it all out. The North Star, lit.

FACILITATION

Designed experiences for moments that matter — a team at a crossroads, a direction that needs to be built together, a question the group has been circling but hasn't landed. The kind of conversation that doesn't happen on its own.

SENSEMAKING & SYNTHESIS

Creating shared understanding from complexity — whether that means facilitating collective inquiry or sorting through what people are saying and surfacing what matters. Sometimes someone needs to wade through it first so the group can move.

PEER EXCHANGES

Treating the team as a community of practice that learns and develops together over time. Shared practice, identity, and belonging as a working group — and the opportunity to show, tell, commiserate, and celebrate as you go.

ALWAYS CUSTOM

The mix depends on what the team is carrying, where they’re going, and what’s in the way.

  • "Erin is one of the best mental sparring partners I've come across. Her quick wit and thoughtful energy were just what I needed."

    — Author & Executive Community Co-Leader

  • "We hired Erin for her tremendous expertise building executive advisory boards — but it was her steady shepherding us past our team's old patterns that made what we built truly different (and powerful)!"

  • "What could have felt like a heavy process — navigating the early, confusing days of a multi-year transformation — instead felt relaxed, productive, and well worth the time. Erin's ability to transform feelings and perspectives into practical exercises, and be both efficient and responsive to our team’s range of needs and styles, provided us with valuable tools to adapt and move forward together."

  • "Erin kept bringing us back to our actual goal. Brave in ways that team members are sometimes too tired or defensive to be, have learned not to be, or might not know how to be, she could–and did–deliver critical dissent in a way that everyone from most to least senior appreciated."

    - Client Engagement: Team Member

I’m Erin.

I've spent years helping Fortune 500 executives connect and learn from one another about tough topics — building learning communities at ICEX and facilitating C-suite advisory work at Farland Group.

A whole string of strategy and research work — informed by an earlier life in literature, rhetoric, design, and marketing — confirmed: the most useful thing I do is help people find a way through what feels tangled or stuck. (Always with humor and, if I can get away with it, a little mischief.)

All of it circles the same question: what makes collective work work?

I'm still asking — still wondering what it takes for every team, every organization, to become a place where people genuinely believe they can and want to do something extraordinary together.

(I play with those questions more at a center for inspired work.)

ORSC-trained. MBA and MS in Information Systems. I like hard problems — and sneaking around the ones that won't budge.
