You have the degree(s), you do great work, you work your ars off…and you want to advance your career. But you’re not quite sure how to get there. Or (gasp) if you even want to try.
The working world feels really complicated and convoluted...and often filled with a lot of BS. You feel like if you go for an even bigger career, you’ll have to compromise everything else to get there. Compromise time with your family, or compromise your relationship with your spouse, or compromise your health…or even compromise who you are.
It's so discouraging how often I hear people say:
These sucky stories are holding you back. And these sucky stories simply aren’t true.
Hi, I’m Erin Hatzikostas – friend, mom, boss and career coach – all rolled into one. I became a corporate CEO at the age of 42. But it wasn’t easy.
I spent over 20 years in the corporate world, bobbing and weaving my way into a CEO position. After literally failing at my first career as an aspiring Actuary, I started to do things differently.
I realized that instead of following the traditional rules - network, lean-in, have executive presence, blah blah - I could do things differently. I could focus more on standing out than stressing out.
In just four years I was promoted from Director to Sr. Director to Executive Director to CEO. I tripled my annual income and became the CEO of a healthcare financial company with 1,000 employees and $2 billion in financial assets.
After realizing it wasn’t luck that kept producing my success, I put a “formula” to what I’d figured out.
With authenticity being the river that run-ith through-ith...
I know what senior leaders are looking for. Look, there is a sea of people willing to work hard. That's simply not enough.
Can you imagine what it would feel like to make significantly more money? The truth is that people who advance further up the corporate ladder don’t earn a little more, they earn exponentially more.
Now let’s add to that. You won’t only earn exponentially more, you can earn more AND be happier! It is completely possible. By using authenticity as a foundation and then layering on simple but powerful strategies and changes, you can have the “AND!”
"The course gave me some real, actionable ways to launch my career to the next level and led me to take a risk with an amazing opportunity with a Big 4 Accounting firm. I applied many of the lessons to help me understand what was preventing me from getting to the next level. The course is entertaining and easy to follow with thought provoking activities that assisted me in gaining the courage to make big changes in both my professional and personal life. I am eternally grateful!"
Here’s the good news: never before has there been a former corporate CEO turned career coach that will teach, inspire, and push you to have a big career, without compromise.
"I’ve been lucky to learn and grow under Erin's leadership and have found a friend and mentor for life. I would highly recommend anyone else given this opportunity seize it and cherish it – it’s an investment worth paying for!"

The good news is we can all come out of these difficult times better. When you purchase the b BRILLIANT program, you’ll immediately get an opportunity to give away the program to someone in need for FREE.*
There’s no catch, no hidden fees. So think about who you’d like to help, and go make their day by telling them they can join you in this exciting career program at no cost!
If you begin this program, start implementing some of the lessons, and you find yourself simply not being able to take these actions, I will refund your money completely. Pinky swear.
If you feel stuck in your current job, you have several options to change your situation:
Look, I know it’s not a small amount of money. If you’re looking for incremental change in your career, this isn’t the program for you.
If instead you've always believed in investing in your career and yourself, this is the program for you.
If your goal is to become a manager, director or executive, those roles come with massive salaries (not to mention bonus programs and stock options!)
Getting there takes a very strategic approach. Not only did I figure this out for myself, I also promoted many people into these senior levels.
I know what it takes. And I know what leaders are looking for.
What would even a modest raise be worth to you? How would it feel to blow that expectation out of the water + do it in a way that was fun, exciting, and not focused on simply working harder?
"Erin coached me how to specifically fight for my value at work. I'm excited to say that after making a case for myself three months ago, I just received a significant raise of more than 10%. Coaching matters!"
Maybe it will help if I tee up the most frequently asked questions before enrolling in b BRILLIANT
The course is totally self-paced so that's a-ok! Although I'll highlight a new module each week (as to not overload you), you have lifetime access to the course.
Also, I intentionally designed this course to be light, airy, bite-sized…and it includes splashes of unexpected humor, which will actually have you curious and excited to watch and participate.
The online Facebook group and group coaching calls will also give you a whole bunch of “Accountabili-buddies” to keep you motivated at on track (and yes, I’ll be there too).
This will help! I teach the value of so many things that will help you break away from those that are blocking you and set off on your own course.
Most definitely not. Some of the things I teach in this course, I didn’t learn until I was in my 40s! It is never too late to grab ahold of your career…your life, and make it more than it is today.
To be blunt, I would say that you don’t have the time to NOT take this workshop.
First of all, the video lessons won’t take more than 30 minutes a week.
Secondly and most importantly, I will teach you in the workshop how to get off that non-stop treadmill and start investing in yourself and your career.
Enrollment is only open until September 25th. Once in the course, it's there for you to do at your pace, so you could purchase it during this enrollment but delay your focus to when you're ready in a month or so.
I will likely offer the course again sometime in 2020, however I don’t have a specific date for it yet. The price of the course next year may also increase.
Look, I totally get it. The workshop will still be massively helpful without joining the online community. I’d also be happy to hear successes and challenges from you via other channels – email, other social sites like Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.

In this first module, I will set the stage for the work to come – what you can expect and, well, what not to expect too. I also add in some unexpected humor right out the gate...and never look back.
Module Highlights:
You will be coached to set your intentions. When you clearly define your intentions, goals and outcomes – it is nearly impossible not to achieve them.
In this module, I will coach you on familiar things, in an unfamiliar way.
Module Highlights:
Things start to heat up here, and we don’t look back. In this module, we talk about the single biggest, career-boosting strategy I took – taking on reach assignments.
Module Highlights:
This is the fun stuff! If you’re not standing out, you’re blending in. And that’s not fun.
Module Highlights:
We tackle the 3 most powerful building blocks for leadership and how critical it is to practice these well before you’re a manager (and it’s also never too late).
I will also do some straight talk about how critical it is to communicate with senior leaders in the right way. If you can't nail this, I’m sorry to say your career growth is limited. It’s sad but true.
All the things we learned up to this point are all for nothing, if you don’t have the guts and discipline to focus on yourself.
Module Highlights:
We have a LOT of fun in one of these lessons (you won’t believe the sh*t I think of doing sometimes to make a point). And it will leave you with permission to stop only doing things for others…especially you “mom types”.
This might even be the most important lesson there is. We also talk about setting boundaries for yourself. Guess what? You are the only person that will do this. I give you very small, practical tips to implement and build upon.
You didn’t think I’d leave you hanging, did you? In this module I walk you through a 3-step process to prepare and ask for the promotion you deserve.
Module Highlights:
Not quite sure your next step is in the company you’re in? I also lead a lesson about the most strategic way to look for your next job. And most importantly, what NOT to focus on in that process as well (eh-hem – other people’s opinions).
In this final module, I bring full-on Coach Erin to the lessons to ensure you’re inspired and accountable to take what you’ve learned and keep it going.
Module Highlights:
I give you my own, weird-a$$ version of “Win one for the Gipper” speech
I talk about other ways we can continue to kick each other in the pants towards more and more success!
This toolkit is a nicely packaged document to reference. It contains my top 10 strategies that helped me rise in my career. I also throw in a handy 2-page checklist so you can check things off your “ta-da" list!
I am a podcast junkie, and I attribute over 50% of my success in heading out on a path less traveled to information and inspiration I’ve gotten from podcasts. I have literally listened to thousands of episodes, and I carefully curated my top 10 for you to enjoy.
Are you curious if the Platinum plan, which includes private coaching, is right for you? Let's jump on a call and figure it out. (Trust me, I'll be straight with you!)
"I expected a typical conference about skills and competencies, in a thoughtful way but things I most likely already knew. I was met with a surprise and an “exceeds expectations” on delivery and personal touch in the message."
Look, I'm going to be frank here. I have a superpower: when I’m able to work with people, magical things happen. I left my fancy, fun and lucrative career for a reason. I want to help others – I want to help you – have the same (or more) success I had.
It breaks my heart that so many amazing people aren’t the ones climbing the corporate ladder. Too often, it’s the same old, middle-aged “dudes” (sorry dudes). That’s why in 2018 I decided to walk away from it all and focus on sharing what I know with others.
I am incredibly confident that if you join this program, I can help you fundamentally change the trajectory of your career… and your life. I designed this program to be affordable for anyone to get the “executive coaching” that my company spent tens of thousands of dollars on. I designed this program to help the good guys and girls rise to the top.
I designed this program to change millions of lives. I hope you’ll be one of them.

Erin spent her career “first half” working in the corporate world, where at the age of 42, she became the CEO of a $2bn healthcare financial institution. In just 3 years, she tripled earnings and sent employee engagement skyrocketing.
And just when things were going great, she decided to walk away so that she could help solve what truly breaks her heart: the immense lack of authenticity and happiness in Corporate America.
Now the founder of b Authentic inc, Erin is provoking a movement to eradicate the all-too-fake Corporate environment by inspiring and enabling an army of people to crush their career, without compromising everything else.
Erin is a prolific speaker, thought leader, and edutainer. She has spoken in front of thousands, is a regular contributor to Business Insider and several industry-leading publications. She also cohosts an offbeat career and leadership podcast, b Cause with Erin & Nicole. She is a CEO, wife, mother, coach, runner, MBA, and a Running Man enthusiast.
