Let me help you turn conversations into measurable business value

Turning 'Career Conversations' into real business value

Drawing on over 20 years’ experience, I work with C-suite and senior leadership teams to turn talent, skills and career conversations into measurable business value.

Through The Career Equation®, my proprietary leadership framework, I help leaders understand where performance, mobility and retention are being held back — and design practical ways to unlock them, reduce waste and strengthen business continuity. My approach empowers everyone in the organisation to take ownership of their career by giving them a shared language and simple methodology for more productive career conversations, at scale.

I partner with global organisations including Microsoft, Amazon, Savills, Nomura, Walmart, Taylor and Francis, Santander, Thales, Rolls-Royce SMR and Capital One to improve internal mobility, boost retention and build stronger leadership pipelines — with evidence of impact across all career stages.

"You walked me through what was important to me and drew me ever so carefully to a point where the answers were obvious and the actions required specific and precise. The opportunity to meet and work with you have been life changing for me and I am very grateful that life dealt me you as one of my ‘cards’"

Andrew Owen, Business Director @CSM
“Erica gave us insights on how to make the most out of a mentoring relationship during this year’s Mentoring Program Kick-off. In the preparation she helped me to translate my ideas into an inspiring 2 hour program and during the virtual session she got everyone excited with tips, tools and sharing stories. Erica boosts the quality of a program and with her professional way of working you can be sure that everything is well organized and you get your desired output.”

Aniek Bogart, Mentoring Lead @Dassault Systèmes
“What made whole experience of working with Erica really valuable for me was the way she really took time to understand the culture within the team and the organisation, so that she was able to provide a programme that would really work for us. We were definitely not having this calibre of career conversation a year ago.”

Dawn Conneely, Financial Controller @Capital One
