Ms. Erlain works with professionals in leadership and management skills development, succession planning, productivity, strategic business plan creation, sales coaching/ training, in addition to the recruitment of new business professionals. She has successfully managed, mentored and trained many successful business owners, managers and sales people during her career. She believes the best way to reenergize an owner and their organization is to develop a personalized plan strong enough to overcome any issues. With candor, encouragement and insight, her passion is to address the needs of people in business in a learning style that is comfortable for them. Ms. Erlain has been given a gift of connecting people. She is a valued referral source for her peers in business and will continue to use this gift to benefit others. The "give first" principle has been the cornerstone for her sustained growth in her organization. Ms. Erlain also facilitates Entrepreneurs Groups through her partnership with Michael Shapiro in E Group Partners, Inc. where business owners connect and work with each other providing accountability to goals, insight and solutions to solve pressing problems and issues, along with best practices on business ideas and topics. The success of these peer groups has created a need to develop new co-facilitators and create additional groups. Ms. Erlain personal as well as organization's mission in life is to help as many people as possible develop themselves and discover their God-given gifts and talents. Ms. Erlain says, "I have a very special story to share with people that is an example of how God can work miracles in people's lives. My experiences in life did not happen just for me to own all by myself; instead, they will be shared with others as sources of hope."
