About Our Guest
Erin is a Midwest based entrepreneur, encourager, and enneagram geek. She values effective interactions, seeks efficient strategies, and eagerly strives to see people become who they were meant to be.
As Erin entered the season where her kids started leaving the nest, she was left asking herself, “Who am I? What is my purpose? How can I use all my experience mentoring and leading women for over 20 years, my nursing background, and my knowledge of the Enneagram?”
The study of the enneagram focused her quest and helped her to better understand her own personality, her experiences, and her purpose. And for the first time in her life, she felt acceptance for what makes her uniquely herself. Not only did she learn to love and accept herself, she also gained tools to better see and hear where others are on their journeys of self-awareness. She has personally experienced the improvement in the quality of her life and relationships. Utilizing the tools of the enneagram has given her the focus and clarity to live her life with greater awareness and confidence, and her training enables her to share these gifts with her individual clients and organizations.
