WHAT DO STUDENTS SAY?
This is an amazing program.
I hope that you offer this to universities at some point. We graduate a lot of professionals who have amazing skills in their area of expertise, but no skills in marketing, promotion, technology, etc.” – Student Survey
It’s the combo of having a career coach, motivational speaker and a source of practical advice for a start-up business, all rolled into one.
It also allows you to leverage the experience, feedback and support of everyone else, which makes it even more powerful.” – Lesli Ann Agcaoili
It will teach you the skills you didn’t get in your formal education.
It will teach the steps in marketing yourself, developing an entrepreneurial spirit, using technology as a tool for business, and potentially getting that manuscript published. It allows you to set personal goals, but to get help from the other participants. It’s the best of both worlds – an individual focus with the group working together as well.” – Student Survey
It made me feel like I have something important to do here on this planet, and that I really can do it.

It gave me the confidence to reach greater heights in my life and not settle for less…opened my eyes to new and invigorating approaches to marketing…I found the strength and courage to land a dream job.
This journey with Erin and the other students brought back a lost passion and drive to be more strategic and entrepreneurial. Erin introduced me to social media sites that really opened my eyes to new and invigorating approaches to marketing. The program sets very measurable and attainable objectives that help you reach your lifelong goals.
Besides Erin’s vast knowledge in the business world, she has a wonderful gift of putting you at ease and assisting you in crafting actionable steps that will alter your life. She helped me realize how much more I can bring to the table when negotiating new job offers. She gave me the confidence to reach greater heights in my life and not settle for less.
Because of this program, I found the strength and courage to land a dream job.” – Chris R.
Here’s what I accomplished…
I happened upon an article in my alma mater’s Smith Alumnae Quarterly, featuring a remarkable woman named Erin Moran McCormick… Over five weeks, Erin nudged us through a series of challenges to refine our goals, product, pitch, online presence, and marketing. The website has worksheets (I love worksheets!), instructional videos, resources, and a forum on which we post our progress.
Erin is a natural teacher who loves technology and inspiring people. She pushes people in the right measure in calls and personal e-mails with in-depth analysis on things like website updates. – J. Lipman, Financial Services, Actress & Producer
The program challenges you to think about what value you bring to your clients.
Not only does the program motivate you to take action, it also provides you with how to get it done with a step by step outline.
As a business person it is important to get feedback from other women, to collaborate, support and encourage each other. I applied to the program because I know that I can get stuck in the daily management of business and need to take action. I learned more about time management, setting goals, website design.
I liked the fact that the program inspired me to be creative – this has been difficult when immersed in the day to day business. It made me learn new things about myself that I didn’t realize. – Student Survey
It really works!
I am experiencing so many of the fears and challenges highlighted in the program – especially the “reasons why you don’t do things”. I decided to put things into action and made a few phone calls that I have been putting off. IT REALLY WORKS! Having the support and encouragement of other women is CRUCIAL and helps keep the momentum going when you are feeling stuck. Thank you for the support.” – Kathleen F., Founder, Insurance Agency
You helped me jump off a waterfall!
…I just got back from a week on Kauai and my friend took me to a waterfall from which people jump all the time. It took me an hour to work up the nerve to do it, but I did! Because I thought, “What would Erin do? She would jump!” So I jumped. Hooray! Thank you for inspiring me to not let fear stop me.” – Sue S., Massage Therapist
