I’m Erin Thorp

Coach. Author. Speaker.
Helping You Identify & Connect to the Leader in you.
Leadership Coaching
Struggling to connect to the ‘leader‘ in yourself? Chances are what got you ‘here‘ won’t get you where you want to ‘be‘. You want to change, you need support and accountability to get there.
Speaking
I speak about Empathy and Leadership. Connection and Communication. Influence and Confidence.

Speaking
I am on a mission to teach others how to harness the power of empathy and use it as an effective tool to lead high performing teams.
Coaching
We cannot see what is in our blind spots. Coaching allows us to see what is hidden and be held accountable to make the changes we so desperately desire.
Why I COACH!
“A coach is someone who tells you what you don’t want to head and who gets to see what you don’t want to see so that you can become who you have always known you could be.”
– Tom Landry
You know you need to change. Lasting sustainable change. I can help you get there.
Why I SPEAK!
Connections are made by sharing our stories.
I committed to share my story once I realized that it was one way I could influence the change I desired to see in leadership.
I would love to connect with you and explore the opportunity to speak at your next event or collaborate with you on your next project.
About Me ...
I am speaking out, stepping up and disrupting the default that says expressing feelings is career limiting move.
I am disrupting the long accepted norm that says there is no place for empathy in leadership.
I have the left brain logic of an engineer, the right brain creativity of author and the heart of a empathetic coach.
I have personally experienced – both as a leader and as a team member – the magic that happens when a leader steps into their emotions and provides permission for their team members to do the same.
I am passionate about writing, teaching, mentoring, and coaching others to embrace their emotions, connect with empathy, and deeply engage the people they lead.
I believe that the very foundation of building inclusive, diverse teams is to recognize, celebrate, and leverage our differences.
What They Said …
“The tools I have learned throughout my work with Erin have helped me find calm and focus in a time of stress and uncertainty; and has allowed me to be present for my family and find success again in my career.”
“Erin has a way of really listening with both her head and heart and excels at being a strong ‘sherpa like’ guide grounding me to the land of real while honouring the uniqueness and wildness that keeps me inspired.”
“Before I started working with Erin, I didn’t know what coaching really was, or even if I would get any value from it. But as soon as I stepped foot into my first coaching session I could tell this was going to be a challenging and rewarding experience.“
