Hi, I’m Erin (aka the "Simple" Lady).
I am a mid-size business consultant specializing in operational efficiency and employee engagement.
I know, I know, that sounds pretty boring. But stick with me...We’re going to have fun.

"Some of the best memories are made in bare feet." ~Unknown
From starting and running businesses for three decades, I learned firsthand that while the challenges may be endless, the energy and enthusiasm of you and your team is what truly makes or breaks the business. Disengaged employees are costing the global economy trillions of dollars, and yet, a huge chunk of the workforce isn't connected to their work. That's a massive missed opportunity, not just in dollars, but in creating a positive and productive environment.
I've discovered that efficiency and engagement aren't separate puzzles; they're two sides of the same coin. That’s why I created Simple Lady solutions – to inject some much-needed clarity and, dare I say, enjoyment into the business landscape. My approach might bend the traditional rules a bit, but I believe people are so much more than a set of personality assessments and org charts. So I make it my practice to do in depth observations and really integrate myself into your business first so that I can be more effective and make a greater impact on your business.

Erin has a remarkable ability to connect with others on a deeply relational level. She creates a safe, welcoming space where ideas can flow freely, and her non-threatening approach to brainstorming and collaboration makes everyone feel heard and valued. Working with her is both refreshing and inspiring. .

I cant recommend Erin at Simple Lady Solutions enough. Having her as my Fractional CSO, she is thoroughly helping my business get more organized. With her on my side, I’m learning to be more accountable and gain clarity on which areas I need to focus on and when. Her support is allowing me to become more proactive and is bringing in more clientele. I’m genuinely grateful to have Erin as part of my team. If you choose to work with Erin, you won’t be disappointed.

When we work with you we will look at how you're using your
Team, Money, and Time (TMT) then together we'll
Prioritize, Maximize. and Adjust (PMA) where needed. Then before we know it we'll of taken care of what's Necessary, done what's Possible, and go on to do what previously seemed Impossible (NPI)!
here's my elevator pitch,,.
I’d love to invite you for a Beach Walk.. a super casual one-hour stroll where we talk about your challenges, and I share some insights on how we can simplify the chaos– with a little bit of fun along the way. Interested in taking that walk?
