What Clients Say
“Before working with Erica, we had Lean and BI projects in progress but as a company, we didn’t have the right mindset to capture the value of the projects we had on our plate. We needed a relaunch in order to realize the opportunities we had in front of us, and strengthen our mindset to better challenge the status quo and find high-quality improvement opportunities.
[...]
We’re now focused on value (not just cost), and prioritizing more effectively. We’re no longer trying to do everything. Our Directors agree this is very good progress. My experience in working with Erica was very positive and I would recommend working with Erica to others!”

“Before working with Erica, we had Lean and BI projects in progress but as a company, we didn’t have the right mindset to capture the value of the projects we had on our plate. We needed a relaunch in order to realize the opportunities we had in front of us, and strengthen our mindset to better challenge the status quo and find high-quality improvement opportunities.
“We needed to kickstart our Lean Manufacturing efforts in order to drive higher levels of performance on our Production and Quality KPIs.
Erica created two original training programs to give our operational employees clarity around how their actions affect the plant’s success. She also facilitated two Kaizen rapid improvement events. She took time to make everything relevant and easy-to-understand, created high-quality materials and delivered the material with enthusiasm and energy. We got over 90% positive response from the participants in the programs Erica created.
We saw an immediate positive shift in our Quality and Production KPIs following the both the training and improvement events that Erica led. Several months later we are still seeing fantastic results. Our Lean journey continues to build successfully on the solid base that Erica’s work provided.”
“Before I started with Erica, I was trying to get my consulting business off the ground. Starting a business is much rougher mentally than I would have imagined. It took me a long time to see that I needed extra support but couldn’t envision what help I could get. I was so glad I found Erica. From the first session, Erica immediately brought compassion, expertise and a wide toolbelt for how to improve my entrepreneurial adventure. I am very grateful for her support. I was able to be vulnerable, her upbeat encouragement which gradually countered my internal negative talk, and of course, the on point strategic and tactical advice at precisely the right time! She has definitely made me a better businessman and probably has helped me become a better person overall.”
“Erica is a well organized person who demonstrates good processes to drive additional value through excellent capture and monitor systems that benefit all companies at all levels. Teamwork was respected to understand the dynamics to improve value driver trees. Would recommend Erica in improving key business drivers to add rapid value as well as long term accretive improvement tracking and reward mechanisms.”
“Erica does an excellent job engaging employees and teams to improve the results of their work; the safety, efficiency and profitability of what they do every day. Erica is very strong technically. Her work builds ownership and creates sustainable solutions. Erica and I delivered improvement programs and trained improvement coaches together at Barrick. She is excellent to work with, always positive, and is dedicated to delivering results.”
