Hi, I’m Erin Thomas, 

Career + Leadership Coach.  

I help ambitious professionals love their work, earn more, and amplify their impact.

I’m a former human resources executive, “Top Coach” and 50 Under 50 honoree, social justice advocate, and leadership expert with 20+ years of experience helping professionals reach their full potential.

My Story

My passion for career and leadership development started long before I knew it would be my life’s work. From leading groups at summer camp, to participating in rigorous outdoor leadership programs, to working in my family’s 100-year-old pear farming business at an early age, I’ve always been driven to understand people, what motivates them, and how behavior shapes success and happiness.

Since we spend a third of our lives at work, I’m obsessed with helping people make those hours count, building careers that are meaningful, financially rewarding, and energizing.

My approach blends two decades of experience in coaching, organizational development, human resources, and leadership training, with deep study in behavioral science and positive psychology. I’ve spent most of my career in the social impact sector, partnering with nonprofits, foundations, and public agencies to advance social and environmental justice. 

When I’m not coaching clients or exploring the latest leadership trends, you’ll find me adventuring with my husband Darren and our young son, Ellis. My favorite moment of the day? Early morning, when the light spills into the living room, the house is quiet, and I’m savoring a strong Americano, dreaming up our next great adventure.
