Meet Erica Mattison, MPA, JD
I’m an executive coach, certified career coach, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach based in the Boston area.
Through my work as Partner in Clarity, I support purpose-driven professionals, executives, and leadership teams as they navigate meaningful transitions, periods of growth and change, and complex decisions.
My approach is holistic and strengths-based, helping people build clarity and confidence, engage their curiosity, and create more room for exploration, growth, and meaningful change. The work may be professional, personal, or both, because the two are often closely connected.

What it can look like to move forward with clarity
Real progress often starts with getting clearer on what matters most. From there, curiosity, exploration, and purposeful action can build confidence and create momentum for meaningful change.
For some clients, that means a career pivot or expanded leadership. For others, the transformation is broader, shaping how they approach their work, relationships, priorities, and lives.
In this short clip, one client reflects on how that process helped him make a meaningful career move after 13 years at the same organization.
