How much time to you set aside to plan for the season ahead?

The reality is…this kind of work is hard to do on your own.
This program will provide you with a roadmap to follow - so you have a place to start. Get clear on what worked and what didn’t so you can implement new strategies and ideas.
Plan and work at your own pace - with the accountability and support of a leadership coach walking you through one step at a time.
Group coaching calls on July 18, Aug 8 and Aug 20 from 9am - 10:30am, Pacific - to gain context and understanding. This is your chance to share your ideas, ask questions and hear different perspectives from other coaches. You’ll get the link to connect once you register.

2024 Women's Coaching Summit
2024 Virtual Leadership SummiT
Thurs & Fri, April 11-12 @ 9am - 12pm, pacific
Coach, you already know that ups and downs are part of your ride.
And you may also know (to your core) that obstacles and challenges are where you learn, grow, and expand the most.
Yet, it may be hard to maintain your energy and momentum from season to season without taking the time to learn, grow and expand.
The summit is not about the X’s and O’s.
These two sessions are an opportunity for real connection - with other coaches and with yourself:
Talk through experiences and challenges with other coaches who get it
Reflect on your season so you can come away with insights and takeaways
Get clear on what you’d like to keep doing and what you need to change
Come away with valuable tools and a community of coaches you can reach out to for support
The power of “yes”
In 1998, one of the best things I ever did for my coaching career was say "yes" to an invitation from a former teammate to attend a Women's Coaching Summit. I was nervous. I didn't know what to expect. As an introvert who was new to coaching, I wasn’t sure what I could contribute to our conversations.
Life changing decision
I’m so glad I said yes. I ended up going to the summit and then going back every year - for over 20 years.
I learned the importance of taking time away from coaching to work on myself - as a person and as a leader. I had insights I would not have been able to have without taking time away from working IN my team.
My experience going to summits became a catalyst for me to create more spaces for coaches to gather.
Coaches are unique
Being around other coaches can help you realize:
You're not alone in all the challenges you face
How much you can learn from hanging out with other coaches (no matter how much or how little experience you have)
Your best insights happen when you allow yourself to unplug, take time for yourself, and make space for conscious reflection about what you've done...and what you want to do next
I'm so glad I said yes. I expanded my network of coaching friends. I came away with a group of colleagues who I could really trust.
Now it’s my turn to give back and lead coaching summits for you!

Erica will walk you through a step-by-step process to reflect on what's working, identify what changes you want to make, and map out the year ahead in a powerful way.

Your very own customized 2024 Planning Tool
A habit-tracker to make it easier to stay on track with your goals

Find Your Peak Leadership Summit (VIRTUAL)
Find Your Peak Leadership Summit
This virtual leadership summit is for athletic coaches and leaders within athletics.
It’s intentionally designed for you to take a full day away from your team(s) - to work ON your team instead of working IN your team. This will allow you to get clear and see things from a fresh perspective.
Step away from your day-to-day routine and spend time connecting with yourself and other coaches and leaders…to better understand your unique challenges.
Reconnect with Higher purpose
I’m guessing you would say your ‘calling’ is about more than the wins, losses or whatever the scoreboard says. You make a difference in the lives of the student-athletes you work with. It’s easy to lose sight of that…in the midst of all the things that pull your attention away.
You may have stepped on the treadmill at the beginning of the season and haven’t stopped.
This Virtual Summit will allow you space to process all the things you’ve been ‘doing’ so you can pivot, shift your focus and get clear on your next steps.
Begin your next 90-days, refreshed and recharged as a leader!
The best part?
You don’t have to do it alone.
You’ll be in the company of other leaders so you can all share wisdom, knowledge and inspiration with each other.
When is it?
Friday, December 15th starting at 9am, pacific / 12pm, eastern.
Where is it?
It’s virtual! Join us from wherever you are in the world. I’ll be leading our sessions from Bellingham, Washington.
Who should attend?
Athletic coaches from any sport and other leaders within athletics are welcome!
What you will learn can be applied directly to your unique role as a leader.
You’ll “get” things at a different level depending on how much experience you have in your current role.
Hit the pause button and invest a day outside your team to work on your team.
Allow yourself space to assess the health of your team culture to get clear on what's working and what's not.
Look closely and identify the leadership skills to focus on to narrow the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
WhAT’S THE INVESTMENT?
Your investment is $79 if you register before December 1st. Then the price increases to $97.
Regular Admission Includes:
A day away from your team to reflect and participate in a high-impact event
An experience with other coaches leaders within athletics for you to glean different ideas, wisdom and perspectives while you add to your existing network of connections
Meaningful curriculum designed to reveal what’s working and what’s not so you can implement the changes you need to make as a leader
Real time insights and awareness: once you see it you can’t unsee it
Interactive breakout rooms & Mastermind session
The best of an in-person event without the expense or hassle of travel in the comfort of your own home or office.
How can I get free access?
If you are part of the 2023-24 Find Your Peak Leadership Circle or you have already registered for the 2024 Women’s Coaching Summit, your ticket to this virtual summit is included.

[Virtual] Find Your Peak Leadership Summit
[Virtual] Find Your Peak Leadership Summit
If you’re like a lot of the coaches I work with…you are in sports for a reason. Your purpose goes beyond sports.
Your ‘calling’ means more than wins, losses or whatever the scoreboard says. You believe you can make a difference in the lives of student-athletes.
It’s easy to lose sight of that…in the midst of all the things that pull your attention away. You stepped on that treadmill early last fall and may not have stopped long enough to catch your breath or get the clarity you need as a leader - so you know what to focus on next.
It’s important to carve out time to reflect on all the experiences you had with your team to understand what worked and what didn’t.
The Find Your Peak Leadership Summit will allow you space to process all the things you’ve been ‘doing’ so you can gain insights, shift your focus and get clear on your next steps.
Begin next season refocused, refreshed and recharged as a leader!
The best part?
You don’t have to do it alone. You’ll be in the company of other powerful leaders to share wisdom, knowledge and inspiration.
This is an experience not to be missed!
