About

I spent the first chapter of my career climbing the proverbial corporate ladder at a billion-dollar SaaS company; until one day I woke up and realized my life was leading to a bunch of future regrets. On a total whim I bought a bakery with my sister. Over 7 years, we rode the roller coaster of small business until eventually selling that business for more than we would ever make selling cupcakes.

Two totally different worlds, but both taught me the same thing: grit, positivity, and creativity matter—but even the best leaders still bang their heads against the same three walls: people, profit, and process.

I know these frustrations firsthand. In 2016, I discovered and implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS). The result? The chaos settled, the business ran smoother, profit margins grew, and—maybe most importantly—it actually got fun again.

Now I help other entrepreneurial leadership teams do the same. I bring big energy, straight talk and a proven system that makes growing a business simpler, healthier, and a lot more fun.

I am not about industries; I am about culture. I am the right coach for leadership teams who:

  • are more afraid of the status quo than of change

  • can handle a mix of tough love and a lot of laughter

  • don’t take themselves too seriously

  • are ready to commit to EOS and actually do the work

Testimonials

RRRyan ReynoldsOwner & Visionary, Grimes Insurance Agency

After a year of working with Erin we grew revenue 16% while achieving an impressive 25% net profit. That speaks volumes about the effectiveness of her guidance in conjunction with the EOS tools.

BHBrenda HauptOwner, Globe Products Co

We have moved on from being focused on the mechanics of EOS to actually allowing it to work for us in a very meaningful way.

NLNina LoweOwner, Front Door Fashion

We had leadership meetings before EOS, but it was a regular practice to go down rabbit holes and not come out of it having solved anything. The structure of the L10s has given us clarity and focus.

KMKyle MittendorfOwner & Visionary, Brilliant! Medical Boutique

Erin's knowledge and leadership abilities have transformed the way we do business. Erin helped us change our business in a way we always wanted, but didn't know quite how to do on our own.
