Erin is very easy to talk to, she made you feel very comfortable talking about things I was struggling with and she always made my feelings feel validated. Erin is amazing at what she does and is always encouraging you to become the best version of yourself!
Taylor W (Type 9) Client Testimonial
When I first starting with Erin I was exploring my performance anxiety, need for perfection, and lack of joy in my life. During our time together I explored how my inner critic was driving me to accomplish and achieve but sucking the joy out of my experiences. It was a carry-over from childhood and a response to my mother’s overly critical style of parenting that was no longer serving me. I focused more on relaxing and enjoying the activities I am involved in and not trying to measure up to any standards that are mostly self-imposed.
I felt supported not criticized. Erin helped me to see how my habitual patterns were creating obstacles to my happiness and fulfilment. With her help I was able to increase my level of self -awareness and move into a more balanced state of being where I am able to find joy and meaning in everyday life. She has a way of finding levity and making the exploration fun and interesting; while at the same time keeping me on track.

After some convincing from my parents, I decided to start this enneagram coaching to learn more about myself. I thought I knew myself pretty well and I had already done the basic research on my number. I did not know what to expect and I did not have any direct goals in regards to what I wanted in my life to be better.
The guide sheets were super helpful in spelling out what I could not describe in my life and I learned so much. I came out of the sessions with more knowledge than I thought I would have and it helped me finally put my feelings and actions into words. I am so glad I took the time to do this because I have been able to be more aware of myself and find tools to help me stay healthy mentally.

I’ve known Erin for years and she is a wonderful person to work with. She is very detail oriented, understanding and good at relating to your situation. Highly recommended!
Chad Klingensmith
As a result of just five sessions with Erin, I experienced significant personal growth. I gained awareness of the reasons behind my tendencies in my job and in my personal relationships. I am more confident in my own skin which gives me courage to lean in, speak up and take opportunities.
Erin is very intentional and asks good questions to gain understanding of your client. She is very knowledgeable about the Enneagram and its depths. I appreciated her personal stories and the ways she shared how she could relate with the struggles I was having. Her vulnerability builds trust. You were good at keeping my goals at the forefront of each session. Your pre-and post- session emails added a lot to my experience by helping to prepare and to re-cap.
Kerry (Type 9) Client Testimonial
I thought the whole workshop was incredibly helpful! It was great to break down our group’s types to better understand how to work with each other. I think it was especially helpful for me being the newbie in the group, to understand my teammates before I really had the chance to really get to know them. I thought Erin was very encouraging, informative, and easy to understand. I’d definitely recommend a workshop with her to anyone I know!
Lacy – Client Testimonial
I’m not usually a fan of these tests or any type of test in general, but I have to admit the enneagram matching did surprise me. Even more so it was really interesting going through the different types that are present within our team and how we all can work with each other.
It highlighted the strengths that we all have, and also how we all have a different style of working. The conversation we had about this as a team facilitated by Erin was eye-opening and made me realize how I can better communicate with my team members as well as not reading too much into the way they communicate with me. The session was well moderated and the handouts provided were have been of great use in understanding my colleagues.

Working with Erin Sur has not only helped me to bring clarity about complicated issues in my life, but even more important… my daily stress has decreased tremendously. I have more energy now to do the things that are more important to me. Sometimes you have trouble seeing the forest through the trees.
Through affirming what I already knew deep down, and drawing out my personal life’s desire, Erin has helped me to see the bigger picture and to make more sense out of my life circumstances. I finally feel like I have control over my life and I now have more freedom, peace and confidence within. Thank you Erin! You have been a blessing in my life…
Erin P. Entrepreneur
Erin and I connected a few years ago when I was feeling lost and empty in my career. I graduated from a corporate rotation program, but felt I could contribute more and I wanted to break out of the rut. Erin was my career coach and she was very patient and empathetic in coaching me along; helping me discover my truest North.
Her coaching touches upon not only the intellectual aspect but also the spiritual and emotional aspects, making one feel whole as a being. I couldn’t be more grateful for her as she opened up my eyes to dreaming more and becoming more. Thank you!

“I loved working with Erin as I was able to talk through aspects of my personality in view of my childhood and my motivations. The guide sheets provided insightful questions and valuable information about myself and my enneagram number which made it easy to apply to my life. Having Erin lead the discussions was so helpful because it gave me a safe place to express how I was feeling and reacting.
Erin was first and foremost quick to listen, while also providing her insight and helping me to process all of the realizations I was having. I am especially thankful for the spiritual emphasis provided in the questions and through Erin’s own spiritual wisdom. I had the opportunity of understanding myself better as the woman God has created me to be in light of the Holy Spirit working through me! I would refer the Enneagram Coaching to anyone who desires to understand themselves better while simultaneously seeing how God wants to use their strengths and weaknesses for His glory.”
Caroline H – College Student
When you sit with Erin you have a feeling of instant comfort and ease. As she kindly speaks and gets to know you, she walks a path with you. There were moments during our work together where I felt human and that she had been through some similar paces.
Erin works with you for resolution and personal growth. You walk away from sessions with her with new skill and feeling very empowered. I can’t thank her enough for touching my life and adding zest and knowledge. I would highly recommend Erin to all of my friends.
Thank you for your outstanding care and services.
Jolie Budau – Esthetician
Have you ever worked a puzzle and come close to having it all together, only to realize that the essential pieces were missing? Like, the ones that made the puzzle picture make sense? Erin guided me to find my missing pieces through our work with the Enneagram. Her guidance through the Enneagram gave me great introspection that allowed me to focus on my strengths as well as my weaknesses.
Being able to identify those missing pieces provided emotional growth both professionally and personally, and gave me a new awareness of how to achieve realistic and fulfilling goals because of my newly gained awareness. I feel like I can go on and on about the Enneagram. It is such a cool tool, and I am so thankful for your introducing me to it, as well as your coaching.
Kellie S (Type 2)
Erin did a wonderful job of giving me applicable tools to help me numb my inner critic in healthy ways. I developed daily habits to handle my struggles with moderation and needing to go to the extreme in different behaviors. I am so incredibly happy to have had her help and feel like I’m now driving my personality instead of it driving me! I enjoyed that we made solid clear goals that were attainable with applicable tools you she me. It felt immediately like there was a solution to my problems and motivated me to do the work.
I love the coach prep form so we are able to get the ball rolling right away and get to work. I also love that you’re relatable and shared some common struggles. It helped me to know there is hope to attack certain issues with your guidance and knowledge. I am sleeping better because I’ve used tools to numb my inner critic in a healthy way. I’ve become more aware of my soundtracks and how to reframe my thoughts to live a more grace-filled day.
Ashley Eftink (Type 1)
I hired Erin as my personal coach at a time when I was feeling stuck and determined to make changes in my life. She helped me understand new aspects of myself and others through the Enneagram, suggested practices and resources to help me grow, and provided accountability. Coming out of our sessions, I have increased clarity on things in my life that I need to avoid, change, and embrace. She listened and validated a lot of my feelings. She also helped me really uncover and understand things that are really hard to deal with emotionally, but essential to working through in order to grow.

I loved the time we spent learning about each other’s personalities and how to work better together. I feel that before the meeting we were a very good team but Erin was able to dig deep and turn us into a great team. I love how Erin flows with the group’s needs based on how the conversation goes. I would love for us to have another meeting in a year or so to see how we have grown.
Lindsey Myers – Client Testimonial
Erin is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is professional, organized and on time! We brought her in to do corporate Enneagram training with our State Farm team which really helped us to improve communication, reduce conflict, prevent misunderstandings and increase motivation amongst our team members. Also, Erin’s coaching helped us as leaders, to promote cooperation and collaboration with our team. Which in turn, ensured that our team now feels seen, heard and valued for the individual contributions they make to the teams success. I highly recommend Erin Sur!

Erin is very warm and welcoming and has a great presence about her that makes you feel very comfortable.

Don’t hesitate in contacting her because you won’t be disappointed.

Erin is equal parts super-charged accountability partner and ‘half-time-in-the-locker-room’ coach. She really helped me achieve my greatest productivity.
James R – Writer
I hired Erin about a year ago when I knew that I needed more fulfillment from my work – but I was unsure of what exactly that meant. Erin helped me identify exactly what it was that I was missing in my current role, strategize ways to grow my role into something more meaningful, explore my interests, strengths and passions and align those with potential career paths, all while keeping an eye out for new opportunities to take my skills (and my salary) to another level. We spent several very productive sessions together after which I felt I was equipped to move forward on my own. But when I landed a life-changing interview,
Erin and I reconnected and she coached me through my interview – everything from role playing difficult questions, to my salary negotiation, helping me build the confidence I needed to make the most of the opportunity.
I am now in a new role with a better title, at a company whole values align with my own, and am enjoying a 53% salary increase from where I was when I started working with Erin; she was an absolutely integral part of my journey. I highly recommend working with Erin – and I will continue to work with her through the years.
Alyssa Fechner – Copywriter
Enneagram Coaching with Erin was incredibly useful to me because I value personal and spiritual growth. Each session helped me to understand myself on a deeper level and grow in self-awareness, revealing my strengths and weaknesses more clearly. I liked the structure of the coaching because it not only works with abstract concepts, but also emphasizes application.
Through Erin’s thought provoking questions, patience and insight, I was able to identify concrete examples of my unhealthy tendencies that cause damage to myself and my relationships. Erin then helped me to come up with practical ways to combat these tendencies, improving my thought patterns, communication style, and relationships.
Erin did a beautiful job of encouraging, affirming, and supporting me throughout the process. She has an amazing ability to listen to empathize with whoever she’s talking with, and I always felt comfortable sharing myself with her. I finished my time with Erin feeling more confident, grounded, and equipped to face the problems in my life. I highly recommend Enneagram Coaching with Erin to anyone who values self-improvement.
