Dr. Erica Walls, Leadership & Career Strategist

After decades of building what I thought a successful career should look like, I found myself at a crossroads. Despite prestigious positions and steady advancement, I realized I was playing small. I longed for work that aligned more deeply with myself, and opportunities to make the meaningful impact I was capable of creating.

When I acknowledged the cost of staying stuck was far greater than the risk of making a change, I completely reinvented my career — after age 40. Through this transition, I discovered my true calling: helping accomplished women overcome barriers and advance to the next level.

As a Women's Leadership & Career Strategist with a PhD focused in women's workplace policies and 30+ years of cross-sector expertise, I help accomplished women step into their full potential. My divine calling encompasses both client transformations and broader community impact through mentoring, advocacy, and philanthropic support.
