Money Mindset and Career Transformation with Erin Coupe

Life + Leadership

In this episode, we talk about Money Mindset! This is different than managing your money, this is really about managing your mindset around money. We are also going to talk about career transformation and finding the bravery and confidence to believe that every next step leads to the right thing on your journey. Our guest, Erin Coupe, shares her background and personal experience with money mindset, particularly as she made some key career transitions.

As a solopreneur with more than 15 years of diverse professional experience, Erin Coupe analyzes a company and its workplace objectives to deliver measurable, positive results via real estate initiatives. She works with key decision makers from established startups to the Fortune 1000. She translates business drivers such as growth or contraction goals, existing workplace (in)efficiencies, and occupancy costs to a creative, strategic plan that results in an engaging, fun experience. With an unyielding drive to succeed, Erin has worked for companies like Thomson Reuters, Goldman Sachs, and CBRE. Her career evolution to commercial real estate was born from those varied experiences, where she lives and breathes outside of her comfort zone (and instead finds herself consistently in the learning zone).
