 “Erica’s work has quite simply, transformed how we think about our people, their careers and their place in the world. Over and over, her Career Equation method has inspired, educated and clarified and delivered real and lasting results to our business bottom line.” People leader, Dassault Systemes
“Erica is definitely an innovator in her thinking, and will help anyone who wants to investigate parts of themselves that they might have ignored.” Nassir Ghaemi, Director, Novartis Research
“Erica is incredibly responsive and collaborative, which resulted in a talk that met the very specific needs of SPE, coupled with very engaging and positive feedback from the attendees. I would not hesitate to recommend Erica and Career Matters.” Sam Sing, finance Director, Sony Pictures
“Fantastic content delivery, very knowledgeable on subject matter! I came away from the session truly inspired and empowered.” Taiwo Oyekan, Global Chair, Black Professionals Network
“What made whole experience of working with Erica really valuable for me was the way she really took time to understand the culture within the team and the organisation, so that she was able to provide a programme that would really work for us. We were definitely not having this calibre of career conversation a year ago.” Dawn Conneely, Financial Controller, Capital One
"Erica was the inaugural speaker at our internal Learning and Development program, Swan School. She presented ‘How to be the Hero of Your Own Story’ to our team in an entertaining, useful and engaging way. Many of the themes presented were relevant to our working lives as well as outside the office, and I walked in the next morning to hear people still talking about the session. A great way to start our L&D program and will be recommending Erica to others!" Black Swan Data
"Erica worked with MSD to design and deliver a Career Coaching and Engagement one-day event for 150 People Managers. The career method was just what we needed and was delivered by Erica and a colleague who immediately built rapport and impact with a large audience. The feedback from the attendees was extremely positive and I have no doubt that results will follow." MSD
"Erica was so professional to work with and also so lovely, she participated as a panellist for the Robert Walters Empowering Women in the Workplace event and came with so much knowledge and insightful information. She truly is a career expert and I know I can always turn to her for valuable life and career advice." Robert Walters
“It was great to have Erica speak at the 2018 SW Coaching and Mentoring Conference. I found her session excellent and that was a view shared by others with comments such as: “Absolutely brilliant, articulate and engaging a very motivational speaker” and “I took so much from what Erica was saying, not just for the organisation I work in but also personally. She is highly recommended!" Bryony Houlden, Chief Executive of South West Councils
“Erica injects excitement, enthusiasm and unique ways of tackling the often tricky task of career development and ensuring success on our staff.” Andrew Eden, Resilience &Adaptation, The Environment Agency
"Erica was a key part of a panel event we hosted at CSM to mark the launch of Boostr, a new employee wellness and engagement platform. The subject of the event was hybrid working. If hybrid is to be a feature of the future of work then how do we optimise it for the benefit of our people and our institutions and how do we avoid the pitfalls? Erica was wonderful to work with and her contribution on stage was perfect - insightful, practical and thought-provoking. Thanks Erica." Andrew Owen, Business Director at CSM
