Erin Coupe

Erin Coupe is a sought-after speaker, advisor, and CEO of Authentically EC, where she partners with organizations to strengthen leadership effectiveness, engagement, and long-term performance. Her work sits at the intersection of energy, mindset, presence, and modern leadership, helping high-performing professionals lead with clarity rather than exhaustion.

Erin is the author of the bestseller, I Can Fit That In, a JP Morgan NextList 2026 selection, and her insights have been featured across major media including Fast Company, Inc., Business Insider, CBS, ABC, NPR, Yahoo Finance, and dozens of well-ranked podcasts. Increasingly, she is invited into rooms of Fortune 500 CEOs and senior leaders for her ability to name what many feel but struggle to articulate, and to translate it into practical, actionable shifts.

Having spent over 17 years leading inside publicly traded corporations before launching her business, Erin understands firsthand the pressures of high-performance cultures. She blends this lived experience with neuroscience, emotional regulation, and conscious leadership to deliver tools leaders can immediately apply in how they think, communicate, and show up at work.

Her talks and programs equip professionals with the self-leadership skills and intentional practices needed to sustain performance, strengthen culture, and navigate complexity with greater presence and discernment. Known for her grounded authority, authenticity, and depth, Erin helps organizations close the gap between ambition and alignment so success is not only achieved, but sustained.

She lives in the North Shore of Chicago with her husband and two boys. When she’s not coaching, creating, or speaking, she enjoys puzzling, reading, cooking (never baking), and spending time in nature.
