BIO
Monique Pitt
Working with Erica through Fuel Changemakers has been truly transformative. Coming in with openness, I didn't fully grasp the impact these sessions would have. Erica's coaching has provided invaluable insights into my business's current state and opportunities for future growth. With her guidance, I've developed step-by-step strategies to overcome challenges and envision my path forward. Erica's skillful questioning and honesty have had such a positive impact on my mindset as I move toward my goals. After just five sessions, I feel a renewed sense of passion and confidence. I'm thrilled to say I'm showing up more confidently in both my work and in myself as a whole. Highly recommend it! I didn't know I needed it, but I'll definitely be continuing to do this work.

The Young Changemakers Fund has been a game-changer for me, offering valuable insights into reframing emotions and setting achievable goals. I appreciate the balance between personal and professional growth, and the opportunity to hire a talented Grade 9 intern. The Breaking Bread sessions have been a highlight, providing a warm space to connect with like-minded individuals. Overall, I'm grateful for the support and resources provided by the Young Changemakers Fund – it's made a significant impact on my journey as a young leader!
Coaching with Erica was an absolute pleasure. She helped me identify my self-sabotaging aspects better than anyone I've previously spoken to. Her empathy and understanding created a safe space to explore a variety of difficult topics. I would recommend her services to all.
