“Every problem has a creative solution.” ~Donna Karan
Hi, I’m Erin (aka the "Simple" Lady).
I am a mid-size business consultant specializing in operational efficiency and employee engagement.
I know, I know, that sounds pretty boring. But stick with me...We’re going to have fun.
From starting and running businesses and being a part of teams for over three decades, I've learned firsthand that while the challenges may often seem to be endless, the energy and enthusiasm of you and your team, along with having constructive and practical efficiency systems in place is what truly makes or breaks the business. Disengaged employees and ineffective processes are costing the global economy trillions of dollars, and yet, a huge chunk of the workforce isn't set-up well for or connected to their work. That's a massive missed opportunity, not just in dollars, but in creating a positive and productive environment.
I've discovered that efficiency and engagement aren't separate puzzles; they're two sides of the same coin. That’s why I created Simple Lady solutions – to inject some much-needed clarity and, dare I say, enjoyment into the business landscape. My approach might bend the traditional rules a bit, but I believe people are so much more than a set of personality assessments and org charts. So I make it my practice to do in depth observations and really integrate myself into your business first so that I can be more effective and make a greater impact on your business.

"I cant recommend Erin at Simple Lady Solutions enough. Having her as my Fractional CSO, she is thoroughly helping my business get more organized. With her on my side, I’m learning to be more accountable and gain clarity on which areas I need to focus on and when. Her support is allowing me to become more proactive and is bringing in more clientele. I’m genuinely grateful to have Erin as part of my team. If you choose to work with Erin, you won’t be disappointed."

When we work with you we will look at how you're using
your Team, Money, and Time (TMT) then together we'll
Prioritize, Maximize. and Adjust (PMA) where needed. Before
we know it we'll of taken care of what's Necessary, done what's Possible, and go on to do what previously seemed
Impossible (NPI)!
here's my elevator pitch,,.
I’d love to invite you for a Beach Walk (weather permitting ~ when it doesn't we will meet at the Harbour Club at Westedge where I'm a member and we'll still have a water view) to see if we're a good fit to work together. We'll take a casual one-hour stroll where we'll talk about your businesses strengths, challenges, and how adding me and my services to your team will bring you and your team more enjoyable and effective efficiency. Interested in taking that walk?
