Erika Jackson

I am a counselor by degree (MA Counseling, Spring Arbor University) and a life coach by training and experience. My whole life has been dedicated to helping others make sense of what's going on with themselves and their lives. From giving advice to grade school friends to helping peers make good choices in high school to helping single moms learn marketable job skills, to coaching women who are struggling with life, I have many years of coaching experience.

I provide life giving resources, life transforming presentations, life building coaching, and life empowering support to women who have been oppressed by abuse, inspiring them to be who they are, do what they are designed to do, and have what is theirs. I will help you emerge from the concrete of your current existence and breathe the fresh air of new life.

I am a certified life coach training instructor and official International Institute of Coaching Studies trainer. I have successfully coached individuals with business startup and incubation, career change, weight loss, and publishing. I have effectively coached small businesses with human resources development, organizational management, leadership, and strategic growth. I am focused on helping women maximize their strengths, leverage their time, and achieve their best lives.

The work I do involves writing, speaking, coaching, and training. My speaking experiences include Advanced Communicator Silver recognition by Toastmasters International, lunch and learn seminars, online and live workshops and training events, community educator and crisis intervention training for EVE, Inc., and workshop presenting for the Michigan Head Start Association and District 62 of Toastmasters International.

My speaking topics include:

• Healthy Relationships

• Crisis Intervention
• Suicide Awareness and Prevention
• Working with Victims of Domestic Violence
• Understanding Abuse
• Parenting Tactics
