Before I became a coach I worked in corporate for over 10 years. I enjoyed my career and gained valuable knowledge and experience.

I left the corporate world to raise my two beautiful children. I realized that being a mom was rewarding but I had more to give. I went back to school and became a Certified Life Coach. I had been coaching for years and then I discovered the Enneagram tool and saw the insight and growth it brought to my life and to my clients. I extended my training and became a Certified Enneagram Coach as well.

I truly love helping people understand themselves and work through the personal challenges they have. Bringing insight, growth and meaning to a person’s life is my passion. There is nothing I love more than working with others to help them become who they really are, reach their goals and live a fulfilled life.

Over the years I have worked with hundreds of people. What I bring to my clients in my 10 years of coaching is my experience, insight, training and my passion. I provide many modalities, tools, and support.

I bring a wealth of personal life experience. Working in corporate, entrepreneur, working mom, married for 23 years, parenting two teens, spiritual mentoring, military & adhd.

Working with Erin as my Enneagram Coach has been such a blessing in my life. Our coaching conversations were so insightful, and opened my eyes to areas in my life where I had blind spots. Erin has a unique ability to create a safe space, never judging, while still coaching effectively to help you get to where you need to go. As a result of our sessions, I’m already seeing changes in my closest relationships.

In just a short amount of time, Erin gave me many great tools/skills that I know I will continue practicing everyday. I have already experienced many changes in my day to day life with the knowledge she has given me and the practice I’ve put in.

Erin is very easy to talk to, she made you feel very comfortable talking about things I was struggling with and she always made my feelings feel validated. Erin is amazing at what she does and is always encouraging you to become the best version of yourself! Taylor W (type9)

I hired Erin as my personal coach at a time when I was feeling stuck and determined to make changes in my life. She helped me understand new aspects of myself and others through the enneagram. In addition she provided accountability, resources and practicals to help me grow. Because of our sessions I have increased clarity, made changes in my life and now know what I need to embrace or avoid.

When I first starting with Erin I was exploring my performance anxiety, need for perfection, and lack of joy in my life. During our time together I explored how my inner critic was driving me to accomplish and achieve but sucking the joy out of my experiences. It was a carry-over from childhood and a response to my mother’s overly critical style of parenting that was no longer serving me. I focused more on relaxing and enjoying the activities I am involved in and not trying to measure up to any standards that are mostly self-imposed.
I felt supported not criticized. Erin helped me to see how my habitual patterns were creating obstacles to my happiness and fulfilment. With her help I was able to increase my level of self -awareness and move into a more balanced state of being where I am able to find joy and meaning in everyday life. She has a way of finding levity and making the exploration fun and interesting; while at the same time keeping me on track.

As a result of just 5 sessions with Erin, I experienced significant personal growth. I gained awareness of the reasons behind my tendencies in my job and in my personal relationships. I am more confident in my own skin which gives me courage to lean in, speak up and take opportunities.

Have you ever worked a puzzle and come close to having it all together, only to realize that the essential pieces were missing? Like the ones that made the puzzle make sense? Erin guided me to find my missing pieces through our work with the Enneagram. Her guidance with the enneagram gave me great introspection that allowed me to focus on my strengths as well as my weaknesses. Being able to identify those missing pieces provided emotional growth both professionally and personally. It gave me a new awareness of how to achieve realisitc and fulfilling goals. The intimate details of the work and the findings were profound.

Erin is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is professional, organized and on time! We brought her in to do corporate Enneagram training with our State Farm team which really helped us to improve communication, reduce conflict, prevent misunderstandings and increase motivation amongst our team members. Erin’s coaching helped us as leaders, to promote cooperation and collaboration with our team. Which in turn, ensured that our team now feels seen, heard and valued for the individual contributions they make to the teams success.
I highly recommend Erin Sur!

Erin is a breath of fresh air! I’m so lucky I found her. She has been essential in helping me figure out my life. I’ve enjoyed every session and have seen so much personal growth. I highly recommend her services!

Erin did a fantastic job of helping me discover the strengths of my personality while learning how to manage the weaknesses in my leadership. I would recommend her services to anyone in leadership!  Kyle Via (type 8)

Enneagram Coaching with Erin was incredibly useful to me because I value personal and spiritual growth. Each session helped me to understand myself on a deeper level and grow in self-awareness, revealing my strengths and weaknesses more clearly. I liked the structure of the coaching because it not only works with abstract concepts, but also emphasizes application. Through Erin’s thought provoking questions, patience and insight, I was able to identify concrete examples of my unhealthy tendencies that cause damage to myself and my relationships. Erin then helped me to come up with practical ways to combat these tendencies, improving my thought patterns, communication style, and relationships. Erin did a beautiful job of encouraging, affirming, and supporting me throughout the process. She has an amazing ability to listen to empathize with whoever she’s talking with, and I always felt comfortable sharing myself with her. I finished my time with Erin feeling more confident, grounded, and equipped to face the problems in my life. I highly recommend Enneagram Coaching with Erin to anyone who values self-improvement.

“Erin is equal parts super-charged accountability partner and ‘half-time-in-the-locker-room’ coach. She really helped me achieve my greatest productivity.”
James R – Writer (type 8)

I love the coach prep form so we are able to get the ball rolling right away and get to work. I also love that you’re relatable and shared some common struggles. It helped me to know there is hope to attack certain issues with your guidance and knowledge. I am sleeping better because I’ve used tools to numb my inner critic in a healthy way. I’ve become more aware of my soundtracks and how to reframe my thoughts to live a more grace-filled day.  Ashley Eftink (type1)

I loved working with Erin as I was able to talk through aspects of my personality in view of my childhood and my motivations. The guide sheets provided insightful questions and valuable information about myself and my enneagram number which made it easy to apply to my life. Having Erin lead the discussions was so helpful because it gave me a safe place to express how I was feeling and reacting. Erin was first and foremost quick to listen, while also providing her insight and helping me to process all of the realizations I was having. I am especially thankful for the spiritual emphasis provided in the questions and through Erin’s own spiritual wisdom. I had the opportunity of understanding myself better as the woman God has created me to be in light of the Holy Spirit working through me! I would refer the Enneagram Coaching to anyone who desires to understand themselves better while simultaneously seeing how God wants to use their strengths and weaknesses for His glory.”
