About Me

Hi and thanks for reading more about me!

I’m Erin Warner, based in Austin, Texas. I’m an executive coach and facilitator on a mission to help people lead with both head and heart.

My Story

I’ve had a winding path to get here. Before becoming a coach and facilitator, I trained as a lawyer, bringing a precision and rigor to my thinking that still shows up in my work today. Along the way, I also became a dance teacher, and that experience taught me about presence, joy, and the power of moving through life with playfulness. These seemingly different worlds ended up shaping my approach to leadership development in ways I never expected.

Over the past ten years, I’ve been guiding organizations and individuals to build trust, emotional intelligence, and authentic leadership. I founded Head + Heart Coaching and Facilitation to create a space where intellectual depth meets genuine human connection. Today, I’m also a partner at EXEC Consulting, where I facilitate trainings on leadership, emotional intelligence, trust, and teamwork.

Work

I design and facilitate experiences that bring together intellectual rigor with human depth. These range from executive leadership programs to workshops on communication, emotional intelligence, participatory decision-making, and even improv for business. I’m a leader in the Voltage Control facilitator community and host a monthly in-person meetup here in Austin.

A major focus right now is my Self Love and Empowerment Course, offered through Head & Heart Studio and built on my L.O.V.E. Framework: Look Within, Own Your Words, Voice and Verify, Evolve. I believe empowerment is the external expression of inner self-love, and this program helps people reconnect with both. I work with a wide range of people, from those who’ve achieved great success but don’t feel the satisfaction they expected, to ambitious individuals with big plans who need help getting started.

I’m also fascinated by the power of language in shaping our lives. Words are tools we use every day to create our reality, whether we realize it or not. This idea weaves through all of my coaching, writing, and teaching.

Personal Life

Outside of work, I’m a certified yoga instructor and I teach a Bollywood dance cardio fitness class (think Zumba, but with Bollywood and Indian pop music). I learned Italian and spend time in the Italian Alps during the summer with my partner, who is from there. I love Italian pop music, and I have a deep appreciation for Japan, especially the blend of modern and ancient, the nature, the spirituality, and the cuisine.

I’ve lived in six U.S. states: Kansas, Washington, Illinois, Texas, Oregon, and New York. I’m happily settled in Austin now. Every year I pick words to guide the year ahead. This year mine are: Courage, Optimism, Self Love, and Self Expression.
