My Why
I started Erin Treacy Coaching because I know how easy it is to lose yourself in the noise.
For years I lived in the rush of deadlines, business goals, and responsibilities that never seemed to stop. I thought burnout was something that happened to other people. I was keeping all the balls in the air and kept moving, believing I could outrun the noise. Until I hit the wall. It was only after I was forced to stop when I looked back and realized I had been running on fumes.
Burnout had broken me.
The experience taught me the power of connection and the importance of slowing down. Real clarity begins when you pause long enough to listen, to yourself and to others. My approach is as individual as the people I work with. Every session and every plan are tailored to where you are and what you need right now.
Together we build emotional intelligence, strengthen communication, and create balance to last.
Whether you lead a team, manage a business, or simply want to feel steady again, this is where calm begins and clarity takes root.
About Me
I'm Erin Treacy, a leadership and professional development coach.
I grew up in southern West Virginia, the granddaughter and daughter of a family business.
From an early age, I saw leadership in action not in boardrooms, but in the way people treated each other.
Relationships always came first. Before any deal or decision, there was connection.
​
My family knew they knew everyone had unique strengths, challenges, and needs. A belief leadership begins with understanding the person in front of you. This has shaped my entire career, how I approach leadership, and how I coach.
I help people strengthen confidence, communication, and connection. My coaching style is approachable and direct, rooted in empathy and strategy. Clients often say I bring clarity to complex situations and remind them growth should feel human, not forced.
​
I carry with me a belief that's been with me since childhood: “To make the best better.” As a former competitive alpine skier, a coach once told me, “Practice only makes perfect if you practice perfectly.” While none of us are perfect, we can always make the effort. This mindset carries into my coaching: leadership is not about flawless execution but about showing up, trying, and growing through the effort.
My Background
With nearly three decades of experience, I have worked across industries including hospitality, marketing, and communications. My work has always focused on helping people and businesses align personal growth with organizational success. Building emotional intelligence, improving communication, and creating cultures where people feel valued and motivated to perform at their best.
​
I have seen firsthand how costly poor communication can be in both dollars and people. According to Gallup, businesses with low engagement lose 18% of productivity. I believe those losses can be prevented when leaders focus on people first.
Outside of coaching, I find inspiration in nature. Being outdoors clears my mind and reminds me of the power of slowing down, something I encourage my clients to create in their own leadership.
