arrow_forward_ios When boards hit a strategic impasse or get stuck in the weeds of compliance, it’s time to reset. I help values-led organisations clarify their next steps, reduce friction, and build governance capability, so your board can focus on purpose, not just process.
arrow_forward_ios For senior leaders navigating pressure and change, I offer structured coaching and professional supervision that supports clear thinking, confident leadership, and sustainable momentum.

Feeling stuck in governance or leadership?
Practical help for boards and professionals across New Zealand
You’re trying to do the right thing, but it feels harder than it should. Governance roles blur into operations. Leadership becomes reactive. And space to think? Non-existent.
Whether you're overwhelmed in your board role or unsure how to grow as a leader, I help untangle what’s going on and create a path forward.
I work with people who care about doing things properly, but feel stuck. With the right support, they gain clarity, restore confidence, and lead from a strong foundation based on their values.

We learn who we are in practice not theory.

Meet Erica,
Governance mentor and trainer. Professional supervisor and coach.
You’re experienced. You’ve built a strong career, taken on leadership and governance responsibilities, and care deeply about the work you do. But lately, it feels harder to get traction.
I’ve worked closely with people and systems at the individual, team, and board level. I know how much clarity and confidence can shift when the right support is in place. I’ve seen what happens when leaders finally have the space to think, reflect and refocus.
My approach is grounded, strategic, and respectful of the experience you already bring.
A simple, clear process to get the support you need
1. Book a call
Let’s talk about what’s going on and how I can help.
2. Get a tailored plan
I’ll recommend a coaching, supervision, or governance support path that fits your needs.
3. Feel confident and clear again
You’ll have the structure, space and support to lead with purpose.
I can’t recommend Erica highly enough... I have appreciated [her] ability to support me to step back and see the big picture... Being new to a senior leadership role I have benefited from her years of leadership and strategic experience.
