The leaders who will define your future are already in the room.

I design world-class leadership development experiences that help them rise to it.

Why Most Programs Fall Short

Most leadership programs are well-intentioned. Very few create sustained integrated behavioural change.

Out-of-the-box leadership programs aren’t equipped for today’s business landscape. Today’s business pace supersedes your leaders ability to build trust and high performing teams. Your organization faces unique challenges that require equally unique solutions. Long-term behavioural change creates long-term success.

A thoughtful and personalized approach is needed.

That’s what I build.

Leadership Development. Designed, Not Delivered.

I work at the intersection of business strategy, culture, psychology and high performance to architect leadership experiences that are purposeful, experiential, and strategically aligned to your business outcomes.

Every engagement is built from the ground up for your organization. Your culture. Your challenges. Your definition of leadership excellence.

The kinds of experiences I design:

  • Multi-month cohort-based leadership programs

  • Executive accelerators for high-potential leaders

  • CEO succession and board-readiness pathways

  • Hybrid and digital leadership academies

  • High-trust peer advisory circles

  • Signature summits and transformational in-person experiences

Proof of Work

These aren’t hypotheticals. These are real programs, built for real organizations, delivering real results.

CASE STUDY

The Ascent CEO Accelerator

Canada’s premier leadership development program preparing senior female executives in the credit union sector for the CEO seat.

The Ascent CEO Accelerator is a nine-month immersive experience designed to take senior leaders from aspiring to prepared. Not theoretically. Operationally at enterprise altitude.

The experience integrates:

  • Executive presence and board strategy mindset

  • CEO-level decision making and risk navigation

  • CEO selection simulations with real board panels

  • Identity work and confidence architecture

  • Peer advisory and mentorship

The result? Leaders who do not just aspire to the CEO role. They are prepared for it.

This program has become the benchmark for CEO pipeline development in its sector.

Sony Pictures Imageworks: InSPIred Leadership Program

Evolving and rebuilding a legacy leadership program into a hybrid, scalable leadership academy.

Sony Pictures Imageworks needed their leadership program to evolve. What had worked in person needed to translate to a hybrid, distributed reality without losing depth or engagement.

Together we designed:

  • A modern digital curriculum aligned to production realities

  • Live, high-engagement workshops

  • Leadership capability transfer to internal facilitators

  • Repeatable systems for long-term sustainability

The Results

When we launched InSPIred, employee engagement scores around leadership trust were among the lowest in the organization. Metrics like "I trust my leader," "My leader has my best interests in mind," and "I feel like I belong here" were well below benchmark.

Within one year of running the program, those same scores had climbed into the top tier of all engagement categories. Within two years, they were the highest-scoring metrics in the entire employee engagement survey. By a significant margin.

The outcome isn’t just a program. It’s an internal leadership engine that scales with the organization.

“Erin has been an invaluable partner in developing and delivering our leadership training. She took the time to learn about our unique culture and tailored the curriculum and her approach to our specific needs. Her expertise has empowered our leaders with practical tools and insights that they are applying daily, driving meaningful change.”

Sony Pictures Imageworks: Elevate Development Program

Purpose-built leadership development for emerging leaders inside a fast-paced creative production environment.

When Sony Pictures Imageworks needed leadership development for their emerging leaders, the constraints were real. Defined budget. Extremely tight production schedules. And a non-negotiable expectation of actual performance lift.

Creative production environments don’t have excess time. Leaders are balancing delivery deadlines, cross-functional complexity, and global collaboration. A standard program would never work.

So we built something different.

The Challenge

Emerging leaders were stepping into management roles inside a high-stakes environment. They needed practical leadership capability they could apply immediately. Stronger communication and influence skills. Increased confidence in navigating conflict and feedback. And a peer network to reduce the isolation that comes with first-time leadership.

They needed all of this without being pulled off the production floor for days at a time.


The Architecture

We designed Elevate as a purpose-built, behaviourally informed leadership experience grounded in modern psychology and adult learning science.

Short, high-impact live sessions aligned to production calendars. Application sprints between modules to drive behaviour change. Cohort-based learning to build psychological safety and peer accountability. Practical tools leaders could use the same week.

Rather than overwhelming participants with content, we focused on identity shift and behavioural precision. The small, high-leverage leadership moves that create disproportionate impact.


The Results

Individual Performance

Participants reported stronger clarity in expectations, more confident communication, and improved feedback conversations with their teams.

Peer Network Strength

The cohort model created durable cross-department relationships. Emerging leaders left not just more capable, but less isolated. The peer network became an ongoing informal advisory group.

Organizational Engagement

Managers above the cohort observed increased ownership, improved team morale, and stronger alignment across production teams.

What began as a time-bound development initiative became a cultural amplifier.


Why It Worked

Because it was designed for the reality of the organization. Not imposed on top of it.

Budget-conscious. Time-aware. Behaviourally rigorous. Cohort-driven.

Elevate proves that world-class leadership development doesn’t require unlimited resources. It requires intentional architecture.

What Working With Me
Looks Like

Your organization has its own culture and nuance. I take the time to truly understand it, from the big picture down to tactical workflows. This ensures a leadership experience that fits like a favourite pair of jeans


Every engagement follows a repeatable system of success:

  • We clarify business priorities, leadership gaps, succession pressures, and culture realities. This is where I learn what makes your organization tick and what’s getting in the way. We get very clear on the outcomes you’re seeking.

  • We design the full journey. Curriculum, cadence, rituals, simulations, coaching touchpoints, measurement. Nothing is off the shelf. Everything is intentional.

  • High-trust facilitation. Psychological safety. Honest dialogue matched to the room. Applied practice. This is where leaders do the real work.

  • Where appropriate, we build internal facilitation capacity so your organization owns and sustains the work long after our engagement ends.

This is leadership development designed to endure beyond the facilitator.

Let’s Build Something
That Lasts

The best leadership programs don’t just develop leaders. They reshape how an organization thinks, decides, and grows.
