Stand Tall & Own It - Equipping Purpose-Driven Leaders to Show Up with Authenticity and Courage
“Just be you,” they say. But for many high-achievers, “just being you” hasn’t always felt safe or practical—whether it’s at work, school, church, or even in leadership circles. For purpose-driven leaders, holding back can limit your impact and undermine your authenticity.
Even in workplaces that claim to value individuality, leading with confidence and conviction still takes courage. To lead with steadiness and clarity, you must first understand your values, embrace your individuality, and recognize that the solutions you need are as unique as you are.
Stand Tall & Own It is for modern leaders who want to lead with purpose, integrity, and courage—without sacrificing who they are. Each episode explores how to navigate challenges, make values-anchored decisions, and cultivate the discernment to think critically in a noisy world.
If you’re ready to explore your Core Values and lead with intention, check out my Core Values Blueprint and Core Values Coaching for practical tools to help you grow.

As a professional actor/singer based in NYC, Erin spends a great deal of time directing and producing. She runs an up-and-coming non-profit theater company in New York City, after many years in marketing and communications in both the non-profit and corporate realms. Erin has also been a corporate trainer for many years, teaching executives skills in emotional intelligence, effective management, and conflict resolution. The main focus is on intimate musicals and plays, independent film and raw & challenging television. Her first love is telling a story through song, and a live audience is just about the best thing on the planet. Erin always goes after what she wants with fervor -- be it an intellectually stimulating career, an idealized romance that makes her swoon, or the perfect slice of pizza. She loves to laugh, and pokes fun at herself on a regular basis.
