Erin Coupe is an international keynote speaker, executive advisor, bestselling author, and Founder and CEO of Authentically EC. Named to J.P. Morgan’s 2026 NextList — one of just eleven books selected globally for their capacity to spark big thinking in an era of transformation — her book I Can Fit That In has become a touchstone for leaders who are ready to redefine what success looks like from the inside out.
Erin works at the intersection of leadership performance, energy stewardship, and conscious culture, helping executives and organizations move from exhaustion and autopilot to clarity, presence, and sustainable excellence. Her frameworks are not theoretical. They are drawn from nearly two decades inside some of the world’s most demanding corporate environments, including Goldman Sachs and CBRE, and shaped by her own profound transformation from overextended executive to intentional leader. She understands viscerally what high-achieving professionals carry, and she has built her life’s work around helping them carry it differently.
Known for her rare ability to articulate what high performers feel but rarely say aloud, Erin is increasingly sought in rooms of Fortune 100 to 1000 executives, global associations, professional sports organizations, and universities. She has spoken or advised over 250,000 professionals across more than 500 organizations worldwide, and her insights have been featured in global media like Fast Company, Inc., Business Insider, The Globe and Mail, Success Magazine, The Guardian, and NPR.
Through speaking, executive advisory, and immersive experiences, Erin equips leaders with the self-leadership practices, mindset techniques, and rituals that strengthen clarity, restore vitality, and sustain the kind of performance that doesn’t come at the cost of the person delivering it.
She is also the host of the I Can Fit That In podcast and lives on the North Shore of Chicago with her husband and two sons.
