Erickson Coaching International coaches on Dream Coach Match
MCC-credentialed coach with 25+ years of financial services leadership. I've sat in the seat my clients sit in — promoted for results, then handed a team and expected to lead differently. I work with VPs in professional services to close that gap: decisively, sustainably, and without burning out the people around them.
With 20+ years of diverse experience in international B2B, digital marketing, and interpreting, I’ve gained deep insights into various industries and business dynamics. Now, as a business and team coach I work alongside leaders to spark clarity, uncover potential, and move confidently toward intentional growth.

Being the go-to leader feels like a strength until it becomes the single point of failure for your team. Laurie Fenske, MCC, explains the identity trap behind the pattern and what it actually takes to break it.
