The "Simple" Lady
Hi, I’m Erin
Call or e-mail to set up our first and free consult together.
Weather permitting that will be done with a walk and talk at Folly Beach
If we "vibe" then we'll get to work creating your synergized solutions.
Business can be stuffy. But should it be? Not in my world!

I'm a heart and people centered business savvy human and professional.
I've been you. I am you. I grew businesses from the ground up ranging from the male dominated fields of general contracting and manufacturing to consulting and beyond. I've been your team. I am your team. I've worked for and with many groups of people, including being a current board member and secretary of Charleston Hope. and what I know is (or to quote another great singer and writer Alicia Beth Moore/Pink "All I know so far") people are at the center of all of it and when we embrace that and prioritize that and them first everything else tends to fall into place in a healthy and dynamic way be that in or out of business.
The name...
"Simple" Lady Solutions?
Let’s be honest, business, life and being human are not simple. Yet, simplicity, community, humor, and fun (and imo, dancing) can help us find our way through the confusion. Lady is the name my treasured grandkids call me, and I've long thought the song "Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd contains some of the best life advice in it, even for a "Simple Lady” like me.
When I'm not dancing, walking on the beach, or hanging out with or dancing with the people I love and enjoy I'm often writing poetry. Take a "walk" on over to "Simple" Lady Poetry if you'd like to read some more of my poems.

TESTIMONIALS
"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."
