Powerful, Nurturing, Empathetic and Tough

It's Not a Man's World Anymore

Meet Erin.  A wife and mom of three school aged kids.

 

"I started my career as an engineer and currently work as construction manager. In 2017 I wrote and published my first book about empathy in leadership and am excited to spark a conversation changing the leadership experience for the next generation."

I love my ability to express emotion, evoke authenticity and share myself with others.

I have always had bad skin - acne and breakouts always.

So I put off taking photos of myself because I feel like I need to have clear skin in a photo when in everyday real life I don’t wear makeup because I can’t stand the feeling of it on my skin.

I fear a lot and still take action towards what matters most to me.

"I love the idea of this [30 Days of Gorgeous] campaign in the fact that we are all different and unique and that there isn’t one definition of beauty. I haven’t 100% landed on my “style” yet Because I’ve always been trying to live up to someone else’s definition of my style. I love the idea behind 30 Days of Gorgeous because we all need to see ourselves as gorgeous in whatever form that is."

''I am powerful, nurturing, empathic and tough.''

''I feel powerful when I’m connecting with others, engaging in a conversation that matters and inspiring thoughts that make a difference.''

"I had some professional headshots done in 2015. I don’t care for the headshots as my hair and makeup looks over the top and not “me”. Writing a book, starting my own business and applying for speaker positions demands that I have head shots and every time I use the ones I currently have I cringe a little bit because I don’t like the way they represent me."

'' I also love the size and shape of my body.''

Erin is sparking change in the male dominated world of construction.  Author of "Inside Out Empathy" she has solidified her position as a leader in her field and the sky is the limit for this beautiful and charismatic speaker.  I'm glad she took a chance on participating in 30 Days of Gorgeous and embraced the full makeover and photoshoot experience with "Team Gorgeous" (ya, that's us!).

All the best to you Erin!
