Erin Coupe – Founder & CEO @ Authentically EC & Author of I Can Fit That In

One of the biggest shifts that I made, that I’ve helped clients make and that I know that readers can make with this book is to be able to say, I can fit that in. It’s not about doing more. It’s about being more intentional.

Erin Coupe is the founder and CEO of Authentically EC, a coaching, training, and personal-development company that helps high achievers and organizations align performance with purpose. With more than 17 years of experience in the corporate world, including leadership roles at major firms on Wall Street and in real estate, she experienced first-hand how success and productivity can come at the cost of personal well-being. Her own transformation from overextended executive to intentional leader inspired her to create Authentically EC, where she now guides leaders and teams to design lives built around clarity, energy, and alignment rather than burnout and chaos. Erin is also the author of I Can Fit That In, a practical, deeply personal book that offers a blueprint for professionals and executives to reclaim control over their time, energy, and focus, teaching that sustainable success is rooted in intentional living, not nonstop hustle. As an international speaker and facilitator, Erin has spoken on over 500 stages, reaching more than 250,000 people worldwide. Her frameworks – drawing from neuroscience, mindfulness, and leadership principles – are applied across Fortune 500 companies, professional sports organizations, universities, and global associations seeking more conscious, human-centered leadership. Today she continues to challenge traditional notions of success, inviting professionals to redefine productivity as a source of energy and fulfillment rather than exhaustion. Through her speaking, coaching, and writing, Erin helps individuals and organizations build sustainable performance cultures that honor both ambition and authenticity.
