Allow Your Career to Enhance Your Life…I’ll Show You How.
Burnout is real. It negatively impacts individuals and organizations.
You may think the key to work-life balance is simply to work fewer hours, but I’ll let you in on a secret…
What’s even more important than hours worked is how well your role and work culture align with your desires, strengths, interests, and values.

We’re Proud to Work With
I’m Erica Mattison, Founder and Social Impact Career Coach.
Increasingly, people desire to do work that matters, but achieving this can feel like a mystery.
After building my rewarding social impact career, I founded Erica Mattison Coaching & Consulting as a resource for people seeking to do good in the world and do well in their lives. This was after completing degrees in psychology, public administration, and law.
As I built my practice, I continued working in 9-to-5 roles, such as environmental protection lobbyist and director of strategic communications for a higher-education sustainability program.
In 2022, I went all in with my coaching practice to serve more clients and immerse myself in career and professional development.
