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

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

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 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.

Experiences I design

Hybrid and digital
leadership academies

Executive accelerators for
high-potential leaders

Multi-month cohort-based
leadership programs

CEO succession and
board-readiness pathways

Signature summits and transformational
in-person experiences

High-trust peer advisory circles

Proof of Work

Real programs. Real organizations. Real results.

CASE STUDY

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, 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.

Not just a program. 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.”

— Michelle Grady, President, Sony Pictures Imageworks

Sony Pictures Imageworks: Elevate Development Program

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

  • The constraints were real. Defined budget. Extremely tight production schedules. A non-negotiable expectation of actual performance lift.

    Creative production environments don’t have excess time. A standard program would never work. So we built something different.

    The Architecture

    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.

    The Results

    Stronger clarity in expectations. More confident communication. Improved feedback conversations across teams.

    The cohort model created durable cross-department relationships. Emerging leaders left more capable and less isolated.

    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.

    World-class leadership development doesn’t require unlimited resources. It requires intentional architecture.


How We Work Together

Your organization has its own culture and nuance. I take the time to understand it. From the big picture down to tactical workflows.

Every engagement follows a repeatable system of success — leadership development designed to endure beyond the facilitator.

  • 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.

Let’s build leadership development that drives real transformation.
