Meet Erica Wilson

We were lucky to catch up with Erica Wilson recently and have shared our conversation below.

Erica, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.
I found my purpose in all the IT’s that had to happen. Starting out with my 1st “IT” at the age of 10, I can provide first-hand experience on what it takes to over come, continually develop and position yourself for past or future IT’S. In my next career, I transitioned from a struggling Teen Single Mother, after more than 19 years, to becoming an Author and CEO of 2 successful businesses (IT Had 2 Happen, LLC and 88 Blessings Inc. a non profit organization.)

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

She is the proud mother of NFL Wide Receiver Allen Hurns and Entrepreneur Daryl Wilson.  She gave birth to her sons at a young age, but was able to weather the trials and tribulations that came with single motherhood.  Although challenging, she was able to raise both of her sons to be honest, focused, and God-fearing men.  Her happiness is inspired by both Allen and Daryl flourishing as adults.

• I learned to deliver as client’s agenda and to helping the client “get out of their own way”.

• Making decisions informed by problem-solving, decision-making and moral and ethical reasoning.

Once you can identify your IT and realize who the person is being used by rather than the person you’ll learn the strategies mentioned above. Your IT had to happen to you for you to share with someone else.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?
