I went in to coaching thinking I needed to build a better business. In reality Erin showed me I needed to build a better me. Erin systematically helped me to do exactly that. And in turn, I built a better business. I no longer feel burdened by my ambitions but have more clarity about what exactly it is I want to achieve in life.

My wife also told me after working with them: “Erin has made you a better husband.” That’s priceless.

Erin Baker is an amazing coach. I worked with them for nearly two years as part of the Self-Leadership Academy. Erin creates a growth space for entrepreneurs in which we hold each other lovingly accountable. We explore deep connection with ourselves, each other, and the systems in which we operate as business owners and people. With Erin’s guidance and expertise in Internal Family Systems, we are supported in getting curious and being courageous. The Self-Leadership Academy has not only allowed my business to grow, it has made me a more confident and curious person. I have grown in both my professional and personal life. I am forever grateful to Erin and those in the Self-Leadership Academy. Under their leadership and care, I am able to move more effectively and boldly through this complex world.

Dr. Erin Baker possesses a set of professional and interpersonal skills that allows for authentic rapport and connection with their clients. Erin also has the educational and professional development background in mental health and specifically IFS (Interpersonal Family Systems), which feels like the jackpot in the coaching world. As a psychotherapist, these are important skills for me to find in a coach and I have with Erin. I hope others can experience their expertise as I know they will benefit not just professionally but personally from working with Erin.

When I first started working with Erin I felt stressed all of the time, I couldn’t sort out what I was feeling and why, much less what those feelings were actually related to. I was feeling bored at work, unexcited about my future, and unable to articulate what I wanted. Erin took the time to unpack all of that slowly with me, eventually helping me sort through the noise and focus on the areas that were most important for me and my growth. 

As a result of working with Erin, I got promoted to Senior Director, got a 15k raise, and a bonus!   I developed strategies to reduce my stress and design my own schedule so that I have time to work on my side projects I love, contribute meaningfully at work, and get the rest I need. I found confidence in the entrepreneurial idea I’ve been tossing around in my head for years and, for the first time in many months, I feel excited about where I’m going in my life. 

It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth it. Erin can see the potential in me that I sometimes can’t see in myself, and they share the hard truths when they knows I need to hear them. With Erin’s guidance, I made more progress in my career and as a leader than I’ve ever thought possible!

Erin has truly found their calling as a coach and it shows every time you meet with them. Just watching them work is an inspiration to be a more self-realized person yourself.

When I started working with Erin, I was incredibly burned out and anxious about my career, worried that I wasn’t really going to be able to take important steps or make substantive changes. I had already read self-help books, even met with a career coach before, but I was simply stuck.

Erin helped me unravel and deconstruct that anxiety, asking surprising questions, pointing out assumptions and blockers I had somehow never noticed. They inspired me to craft a small work experiment and actually follow through, which gave me untold energy and invigoration about what was possible when you take even a little leap. Now I’m approaching a bigger career transition I never would have anticipated having the courage to try.

Most amazingly, Erin has helped me recognize how good I already have it in my career, helping me see ways it already brings me value and fulfillment. They’ve helped me to think about how to build and evolve, rather than chucking it all to start fresh.

Erin is a unicorn combination: the heart and compassion of a healer, and the scientific rigor of someone with a PhD in social psychology. They take you on a path that employs both of these sides, providing nourishment for both your heart and mind along the way.

Rachel, Independent UX Researcher and Writer

I can’t only call Erin a business coach, because the work we did was whole life, whole being inclusive. When Erin said they believed in me (something I heard from them a lot) I really knew they did, like really really… and I knew they not only believed in me, they also really really saw me… and not only in who I have been and am being now, but in who I am becoming.

Kaya, Life and Leadership Coach

I am so, so thankful for the way Erin gave me the space to open up, be vulnerable, be bold, and feel completely safe in doing that. That is the space where I grow exponentially and I am really super excited to see what else is possible there! I LOVE what is happening in me.

Ashley, Life and Parenting Coach

Joining Erin Baker’s Fall Leap Collective was one of the best things I’ve done for my own personal growth.  Through this amazing group coaching program I was able to breakthrough limiting beliefs that were holding me back from pursuing my biggest dream.  Erin is the best at pushing you to go for the biggest dream(s) you can imagine and taking bold steps towards bringing them into fruition.  They do all of this with so much compassion and creates a space that is safe for anyone to speak their truth.  I personally feel group coaching programs are one of the most powerful experiences anyone can gift themselves with and Erin is a master at creating a powerful group environment.

Jody, Shaman, Speaker, and Coach

I was skeptical of the value of group coaching initially. I wasn’t quite sure if the members of the group would understand my struggles in a way that would ultimately be helpful for me to work through things with them. I was also afraid that I wouldn’t be able to open up enough with the group there, perhaps too worried about what they might think of me at any given time. I was shocked at how quickly I felt rapport with the group though, and how much I looked forward to the calls. The bravery and courage of what they shared with me helped me break down my own barriers, and Erin’s thoughtful exercises and gentle (and not so gentle at times) pushing of us helped me go further than I ever imagined I would be able to in a short three months.

Having a group environment where we each shared our wins and our struggles was just the outlet I needed to take meaningful action to get my business off the ground. And I now consider each of the participants to be dear friends who I still look forward to connecting with. This group restored faith in finding meaningful connections with strangers again and opened my eyes to the value of leaning on and learning from others.

Through group coaching with Erin, I’ve changed from someone who anxiously lived in his head all the time (exhausting, right?) to someone who is able to be present with himself and others. Here are some examples of what Erin and the group helped me accomplish through support and accountability:

• Creating a daily meditation and writing habit
• Letting go of my attachment to being “right” or having the “right response”; letting go of rehearsing what I’m going to say
• Letting go of my story be being judged; getting comfortable with recording and posting videos of myself on social media
• Shifting my personal narrative from “what I do” to “who I am”
• Learning how to be there with others as they experience a range of emotions without having to “fix” anything
• Learning how to show up without my armour (it was heavy); reconnecting with my lighthearted and humorous self

None of these changes happened overnight and all of them required hard work and being honest with myself. I did this and I’m proud of it. I will forever be grateful for the impact that Erin and our group has had on my life. If you could see me right now, I would be blowing kisses to this group – another thing I didn’t do 5 months ago.

Paul, UX Research Manager and Personal Development Coach

With the support of Erin and the group, one of my big wins was being able to gain clarity on what I wanted out of a contract job I was working and what value I could contribute. I requested a higher pay rate that allowed me to step into that value and feel more empowered and fulfilled in the role. The group coaching environment allowed me to not only benefit from one-on-one coaching from Erin, but also apply insights from their coaching other members of the group, we could all relate and learn from each other. I felt connected to the other group members; we created a safe, supportive and fun community, and I very much looked forward to our bi-weekly calls.

KJ, Finance Manager and Financial Coach & Educator

Working with Erin and our group has been so rewarding and inspiring for me. Erin has guided us to become a tight-knit group that shares openly and honestly, hold space and encourage one another, and time after time, go deep in order to grow. It has kept me accountable and honest, allowing me to embrace what I need to and discard what is no longer serving me. It has helped me to identify what is holding me back and give me a framework to make the baby steps I need to move forward. I thoroughly recommend joining Erin on an adventure to learn and grow in order to live your dreams. The group was the highlight of my week.
