About Erin Slater, President and Lead Coach
Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I hope this space feels like sitting down for a warm cup of coffee or tea to refuel your soul from all of that hard work you have been doing. If you have reached this page, you are likely a leader who wants to create change in the world and yet you might be feeling stuck, like something is in the way. You may not even know what it is yet.
As a former nonprofit CEO turned Certified Professional Coach and Consultant, I serve clients nationwide.
With a nonprofit background that includes program, development, and executive experience, I bring a rich history of experience and understanding about the world you live and operate in.
My leadership experience hails from fifteen years at College Mentors for Kids, including six years as CEO. During my tenure as CEO, our team doubled the number of volunteers, staff, and revenue. At the same time, we implemented strategic fundraising strategies and worked collaboratively with the board and stakeholders to create a solid strategic direction for expansion. The organization received an Indiana Achievement Award as a tribute to the organization’s sustainability and garnered national attention after being highlighted on The Martha Stewart Show in 2009.
My husband David and I launched Intentional Coaching + Consulting in 2013 to allow us to stay connected to community change through high impact consulting projects and nonprofit executive and leadership coaching. We have two beautiful boys.
As a consultant, I’m told I have the unique ability to be authentic, intentional, relational, passionate and simultaneously achieve results in unprecedented ways. As a coach, I bring inspiration, attentive listening, understanding, belief, confidence, and commitment to the success of my clients.
My passion is fueled by working with those who serve by bringing insights, recommendations, and experiences from myself and other leaders who have traveled the same path.
Your mission matters. You matter. Let’s work together to make this world even more awesome.
