Do you feel like you’re about to implode at work right about now? Like, if you lose one more employee, get one more financial challenge, or receive one more customer nasty-gram, you just might lose it?

​

Basically, is this what you look like around 5pm every day?

The workplace is HARD right now. People are burnt-out, fed-up, and let-down by their leaders and companies.

And if you’re like most people, you’re both a leader that controls all of this...and you’re also a human, just trying to have a meaningful and impactful career, without compromising everything else (and/or losing your frickin’ mind!).

 

If you feel like you’re treading water, a punching bag, and/or sacrificing it all simply to MEET expectations, then know we are here to save the day. 

 

There is a different way.
We can show you that way.

“People respect authority, but they follow authenticity.”
~Erin Hatzikostas, Founder & CEO

We help you take authenticity from what feels like a fluffy, seemingly self-fulfilling prophecy to something that is actionable and .... not actually about you. It’s about the connections you create, the trust you cultivate, and the results you catalyze.

(Oh, and then positive results come right back to you...so there’s that too.)

WHY WE EXIST

Watching a freight train, with amazing people like you on it, head into a brick wall is no fun. Especially when you know there’s a better way.

 

When you have proof that just ONE strategy can change the entire game - for you and your company - you have to get off your duff and spread the word. After our Founder, Erin Hatzikostas, realized that her purposeful authenticity was behind all her success, she set out to help others have the same success.

​

​

Our Six Principles of Strategic Authenticity (H.U.M.A.N.S) grounds everything

we believe in, preach, and coach.

YOU DESERVE MORE

Imagine a world where you no longer feel like you’re constantly treading water?

​

A world where you are getting noticed, gaining followers, standing out, and achieving the seemingly impossible goals you’ve been given, without having to “grind it out.”

 

This is exactly what we’ll help you do.

 

Whether you’re simply looking to give your career a boost and land a seat at the table or you’re a leader that’s looking for a new strategy to energize and inspire your team, gain and retain talent, and meet and exceed your financial goals - we will teach you how to use authenticity as your new secret weapon to success.

“I’m not bullshitting you. I loved every page. I’ve hated almost every book I’ve picked up in the last few years because it’s all the same sh!t. Executive presence (barf) nonsense that makes everyone think they have to fit a mold. I can’t wait to use the book in some of my mentoring. I needed You Do You(ish) more than I knew.”
