  • Erica shines when things are tricky and complicated.

    She’s a great listener and has a unique ability to cut through the clutter in a conversation and hear and respond to what people are really asking for.

    Lisa Gibbs | Destination & Retail Marketing Strategy Manager, WestJet

  • Through the community consultation phase of the work, she listened with empathy and was able to synthesize a great deal of complex information into a clearly thought-through report and recommendations.

    She facilitated three co-creative workshops with flexibility and poise. During these she struck the right balance between facilitating the group to find the right solution through discussion and exploration and occasionally using her deep experience to be more directive in her approach. Throughout the project, Erica was fun to work with and became a trusted advisor to the team. I would recommend her to any of my contacts who has a difficult strategic problem to solve.

    James Gamage | Director Innovation and The Social Impact Lab, United Way of Calgary and Area

  • Erica is a thoughtful and collaborative facilitator. With her strategic mindset, she balances long-term perspective with quick thinking and an ability to pivot in the moment.

    She’s skilled at getting to the heart of a question, while brokering peace among disparate groups through a focus on mutual goals and data-backed insights. While adept at facilitating design sprints, the depth of Erica’s skillset has been most apparent in her work to facilitate broader strategy initiatives. Her approach instilled trust among the team and with leadership. Most of all, I enjoy working with Erica - always feeling as though I have a thoughtful leader in my corner whom I trust to point out my blind spots and help steer our initiatives toward success.

    - Cassondra Dickin | Director of Marketing at Orennia

    I would also recommend you connect with Erica if you simply want to facilitate a group of people to come to a collective conclusion that makes a lot of sense. I’ve worked with Erica on many occasions, as a client and a partner and I will tell you her calm demeanour in group settings is very valuable. She is insightful, strategic, funny and relentless in the pursuit of the challenge put in front of her.
