Who we are
EW COACHING & CONSULTING
Who, and who else, is EW Coaching & Consulting?
When I started this coaching and consulting work as a side gig, I was professionally using the name Erika Willis. That was my “brand” in my hometown—and as a mom. Now that my kids are grown and the market for my business services has expanded nationwide, I’ve expanded use of my birth name Erika Purington from my personal to my professional life.
The strength and wonder of my career has always been the people I’ve worked with. I have a great network. I’ve set up EW Coaching & Consulting to be able to include some other wonderful people, if your needs and scope require it. But rest assured that if you want to hire Erika, you’re getting Erika—not an intern. I’m not here to build an empire. I’m here to build great relationships doing work that I love.
Interests, background, and qualifications
I harness the power of a diverse range of methodologies, including change management, positive psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science, plus my extensive background in leadership and organizational development. My credentials include certification as a Presence Based Coach and ACC status with the International Coaching Federation. I have undergraduate and Masters degrees from Montana State University–Billings. I am a certified DiSC Analyst and Facilitator.
I appreciate capacity. I thrive on the fact that there is a limitless amount of untapped potential, both in people and in ideas. Through coaching, radical accountability, and empathy, I want to help you create the personal and organizational road map to get from where you are to where you see yourself, your team and your organization.
