“Your work is nothing short of transformational.” “You help high-performers live longer lives.”
As part of my training to become a Certified Professional Coach, I had learned about a number of the concepts that Erin covered in the Authentically You workshop. What I appreciated though is the context and the manner in which she discussed and fostered conversation about them: her willingness to be vulnerable in sharing her journey to identify and address the shadow self (your personal gremlin) and each of the limiting beliefs that arose from its roots; her ability to ask tough questions and encourage each participant to contemplate their own new truths; and her adeptness at creating a safe place for everyone to come together and share their struggles as well as their insights.
I also appreciated being reminded of the importance of practices I had allowed myself to neglect (ex: meditation and journaling) and taught about new mechanisms through which I could find more balance, greater peace, and deeper inner strength (ex: binaural beats and life design). Through the “homework” to which I can return at any time and the community of strong women with whom I am now connected, I know that I have many new resources and relationships that will support me in my efforts to consistently show up as my best self.

I was so excited when I received the email from Erin stating she was offering an on-line class for Authentically You. I was back and forth on whether or not I could commit to a 5 week course. But was SUPER intrigued by her topic of self-discovery as I was slowly on the path of finding myself through lots of trauma and grief during this pandemic.
Erin was my guiding light in uncovering the layers of my conditioned being. She facilitated her class beautifully and gave us all the tools to finding, learning and healing our true self. She literally helped me project myself into my next spiritual awakening. I am grateful to have taken this journey with these successful women. I am forever CHANGED and Blessed to know what I now know which is my SELF!

Two main benefits that were immediately relevant stood out to me by participating in the series. First off, Erin shows by doing. Sharing her own experiences, journey, struggles, and victories, Erin brings her true self to every session during the series. By tying the benefits of applying the concepts to her own life experience, she is able to establish a connection to participants in an entirely virtual setting. Second, the core benefit I found from all the tools, frameworks, exercises, and content was the ability to be present. Recognize emotions, frustrations, and challenges for what they are: a part of you to which you can either grant power or take power away. Incorporating this mantra into my everyday life has helped both professionally and personally and I am grateful for Erin, her program, and my fellow participants for their honesty and commitment.

I saw so much progress in how I related to, led and worked with others in 5 short weeks. My CEO noticed a positive shift in me and because of this experience I feel more connected with myself, more intentional, and more focused. I am now a better leader.

I am extremely grateful for the teaching, guidance, and facilitation that has transformed my inner self and helped me go deeper in just these few months than I ever thought possible.
MATT ZEGA | Owner, Zega LLC EOS Implementation

I am so grateful to Erin for sharing her gifts and insights with all of us. I have ebbed and flowed with my own internal journey, meditation, and awakening, but I had really stalled recently because life took over and I stopped focusing on it. This program with Erin was exactly what I needed to refocus my energy and step into my true effectiveness as a leader and as an individual.
As an entrepreneur, mother and wife, I enrolled in Erin’s Executive Women’s group hoping to create more balance and space in my life to prioritize what matters most to me. I am still on that journey (since it’s a lifelong exploration), but I have so much more clarity and the tools and knowledge to tap into my strengths. What I didn’t anticipate was the incredible bond that our group formed, even though the classes were virtual. We are all still in touch and supporting each other’s journeys and triumphs on a daily basis.
This is an important investment in you, your family, and your career.
JULIE HOFFMANN | CEO, JH Philanthropy

Erin has spent years learning about the essence of the human soul and how we can tap into our authentic selves; prior to this experience I did not know what that even meant. She has masterfully bundled this expertise into a program that I have not only enjoyed but also one that I was able to experience real connections in.
Erin provides a practical toolkit I can go back to regularly. Becoming more self-aware has shifted my perspective and helped me to thrive in all aspects of my life. At a time when everything appears overwhelming and chaotic, I am understanding how to reduce my own limitations and empower myself and those around me.

I’m so grateful the Universe put Erin Coupe in my path. 2020 became the year of my personal journey - into deeper awareness, appreciation and authenticity. The Authentically You program is exactly what I (didn’t know) I needed at this exact moment in my life. I expanded my knowledge and horizons and truly think differently about how I navigate life. I plan to consistently refer back to the materials, and importantly, now have tools I can use daily and in my continued journey. I highly recommend participating in this program.

My happiness and success either (or neither) lies in my ability to support and take responsibility for myself and well-being. Erin's program gave me the tools, community and insight I needed to support myself in ways I did not think was possible in all areas of my life.
COLLEEN WILSON | VP, Product at MANTL

Authentically You is a program that helps you recognize your conscious persona from your true inner self by utilizing course work, meditation, and group discussion. Erin is a highly organized instructor who provides a safe space for discussion and feedback allowing the individual to take ownership of their own reality by helping one sharpen their perception.
MIKE REID | VP Pandora Media

I've always struggled with work/life balance and self-confidence, always putting myself last on the priority list and caring too much about others opinion of me. Authentically You has given me realistic tools and exercises to breakthrough my subconscious beliefs and fears. I've found myself responding more positively to situations that would have previously caused me much stress and worry. I've spent less time overthinking and feel more present and engaged in whatever the moment brings. This course is a gift that will keep on giving.

Erin is incredibly insightful about understanding the work each person needs to do. While this was a group class, it felt totally personalized. This was the first program I’ve encountered that focused on leadership by starting deeply with understanding self.
MICHELE FREED | VP Modern Life, Microsoft

This program introduced a lot of great content that helps one better connect with themselves in order to show up more authentically in the world. Erin is gifted at delivering this information in a meaningful way which resulted in many "aha" moments, even with topics that were previously familiar. Also, really appreciated the sense of community and accountability brought out via the fellow participants.

Erin’s program on mindfulness and self-awareness played a key role in helping me to improve my well-being. I believe it is essential for anyone to educate themselves in these concepts and practices. We spend so much time and effort managing outward and forget to manage inward. If you would like to be a better friend, son or daughter, parent, co-worker, or leader, then this is a program that can help you establish a solid framework upon which to build and grow.

The Authentically You series gave me the tools I need to evolve not just as a leader in the corporate world, but as a person. The tools and practices Erin introduced will help me far beyond just the workplace.

The course came to me at the right time with the right content.
Concepts like frequency, shadow, and mindset. Erin was thoughtful about what she presented. The sessions were dense and well managed. The support around the course (web and availability) was outstanding. Profound ideas, well presented. I'm grateful.
HEATHER RITCHE | Head of Marketing, Nokia Software TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA
The program fundamentally changed the way I approach human interaction and I'm a more compassionate, understanding and patient person because of it.
I learned how to understand my own feelings and it opened my eyes to others' feelings and experiences. The ability to connect with people from all over the country with a shared desire to learn from each other and from Erin was incredible.
AYTAN DAHUKEY | Partner, Sheppard Mullin Law LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Erin's Authentically You course has forever changed the way that I show up in the world. Through Erin's teaching and guidance I have improved my business, relationships and my personal level of inner peace. Nothing happens by chance or coincidence. If you're reading this and you feel called to join Erin on an incredible journey of self-discovery you'll be happy you did.

Erin’s program is extraordinary – and she is gifted in balancing content that’s geared to an executive audience (and our need for structure, frameworks and reasoning) with more intuitive and creative practices around energy, self-awareness and purpose. Her personal examples are relatable and really add to the experience. The community formed among the participants was also impressive – from strangers to friends in five weeks. A big part of this is that we came with a common need – to figure out our purpose and to find tools to actualize it; and Erin’s approach created a safe space and enabled everyone to show their vulnerability and personal side (which is hard in the professional world).
I learned an incredible amount through this process and was inspired and humbled by the stories of the women that participated. Mid-course I found myself more focused, more keenly aware of my triggers, re-energized – and equipped with tools to continue this journey independently. I can’t thank you enough Erin – 2020 has been a challenging year on many fronts for all of us; I feel equipped to face 2021 with extraordinarily improved purpose and focus; both professionally and personally.

The Female Leadership Series was an all-around A+ experience. Erin did a great job at curating an amazing group of participants, all with varied backgrounds. The program was a good combination of compelling content plus productive interactions amongst the group. It allowed me the opportunity and the space to focus inward on cultivating self-awareness and maintaining my authentic self. It also reminded me that I am not alone in my journey of personal growth. I now have this network to support me throughout the process. Thank you, Erin!

She taught us how to understand the negative forces in our own head and how to truly connect with your authentic self. All of her weekly work assignments were steps to a serious breakthrough. In five short weeks I learned life altering techniques which will stay with me forever.

I participated in Erin’s October 2020 Authentically YOU Female Leaders Series – and that participation was a gift – a gift of tools, a gift to myself and a gift to everyone with whom I interact.
Mindset can drive you to greatness or nosedive you into defeat. I took Erin’s course right in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic as a collective global mindset was suffering. The pandemic had disrupted many facets of everyday life and forced a new, isolating “normal”. Personally, I was at the start of a transformation, embarking on a quest for meaning and fulfillment and personal growth not defined by external definitions of achievement. However, I lacked the tools to navigate the path forward and discover the leadership over my own life that would enable truly authentic leadership in a professional sense. I knew I needed to cultivate deep self-awareness to find that purpose I was after, but I didn’t know how. My mindset at the onset of the course was scattered and often negative after historically disregarding my own inner voice in lieu of pursuing external affirmation. Then I started Erin’s course.
Erin’s course was a gift of tools. The learnings she imparts from her own journey through personal growth and leadership provide you actionable tools to use daily to continue to cultivate a growth mindset through progressive personal development. Erin’s course was a gift to me. Rooted in systematic progress through awareness, acknowledgement, acceptance and action, Erin’s course provided me with a much-needed roadmap to navigate self-awareness and self-actualization to align with my inner voice and lead from a truly authentic self.
Erin’s course was a gift to everyone around me. The higher my alignment with my true self the stronger my emotional/ spiritual/ mental well-being meant interactions with everyone in my life both personally and professionally improved. This personal development translated into vast interpersonal development.
Learning Erin’s gifts and sharpening our skills with new tools was made fun by the incredible group of women with whom I shared the experience. Immensely talented and dynamic people are drawn to Erin’s captivating energy and authenticity. The other women in my course personified this, and I am so fortunate to have this new community united in growth and forward leadership.
This tribe of leaders are committed to supporting one another and will continue the dialogue well beyond our time together formally. It is with sincerest appreciation that I thank Erin Coupe for recognizing her talents, honing her skills and most importantly, sharing them with the world. I find myself lucky you had a role in this movie of mine called life.
