Meet Your Coach

Hi, I'm Erika!

Let me break it down for you in a real, human way. I've been where you are – wrestling with imposter syndrome, fumbling through giving feedback, terrified of having to terminate, and struggling to delegate. All of which was slowly burning me out. After 20 years of high-pressure leadership roles, I realized something wasn't right.


The traditional work world is broken. We don't provide adequate manager training and we're pushing people to the edge, valuing productivity over human beings. I decided to walk away and do something different.


My mission? To provide managers with the fundamental skills they need to successfully lead teams, without requiring years of trial and error to learn. I help managers and leaders create workplaces that actually prioritize people and not just hitting targets. It's about helping professionals grow without losing themselves in the process.


It's about creating work environments where people can breathe, think, and truly contribute – not just survive. This isn't just a job for me; it's a calling to change how we think about work, leadership, and human potential.


And that's how Authentic Foundations was born – a coaching practice dedicated to reimagining leadership, one manager, one team at a time.

Quotations from Forbes and Harvard Business School Online about the value of emotional intelligence

The 1 skill that affects business revenue, employee turnover rate, and overall team performance:

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
 

Why You Can No Longer Ignore Manager Training in 2025

Losing Customers - Bad leadership means angry customers walking away. One wrong interaction can make people never come back, which means saying goodbye to serious money.


Your Best People Will Leave - Great employees don't stick around toxic environments. When managers tolerate poor performance, fail to give meaningful feedback, and don't learn how to delegate, talented team members pack up and go - and replacing them is incredibly expensive.


Communication Goes Off the Rails -  When leaders can't communicate well, everything falls apart. Projects get messed up, teams get confused, and the whole company can grind to a halt.
 

Your Reputation Gets Destroyed Online - One bad moment can go viral. These days, one emotional outburst can destroy your company's reputation faster than you can blink.


Your Competitors Will Outperform You - Companies that don't cultivate emotional intelligence and invest in their managers will be left in the dust by competitors who understand how to set their teams up for success. 

Quotations about the importance of Emotional Intelligence in business

Emotional intelligence isn't some fancy workshop topic.


It's the difference between a thriving business and one that's struggling to survive.
