  • The 50% Rule, her upcoming book launching in October 2024, which explores how to disrupt hustle culture and create space for honesty and balance

Beyond writing, Erin co-hosts the podcast b Cause Work Doesn’t Have to Suck, where she and her guests share unfiltered stories and workplace wisdom.

Global Recognition and Media Impact

Her thought leadership has been featured on ABC, CBS, and in publications such as Business Insider, Fast Company, and Well+Good. Furthermore, her 2021 TEDx Talk  ranked among the Top 20 most-viewed TEDx Talks worldwide that year—proof of how powerfully her message resonates.

Data-Driven Proof of Authenticity’s Power

To support her mission, Erin’s company conducted a national study on the effects of authenticity in the workplace. As a result, the research confirmed what her work has shown all along: authentic leadership drives performance, trust, and engagement.
