ERIN MORAN MCCORMICK
Our Founder
Founder Erin Moran McCormick is a keynote speaker on entrepreneurship, innovation and professional development and her clients include GE, Comcast, Harvard and KPMG.
Her work has been featured in FORBES, FOX TV, BostInno and more.
Erin has started three companies, was CIO twice and has led Innovation and Entrepreneurship Centers at Babson College – #1 in the world for entrepreneurship education – and UMass Boston where her focus was on advancing women and people of color.
After years of being the only woman at the table and feeling run down and stressed out, she did what she never thought she would do…
Erin quit her job on her 50th birthday.

Now what?
While trying to figure out what to do next, Erin ended up turning her blog into a book, Year of Action.
She realized she wasn’t alone
On the Year of Action book tour, she noticed that women kept scribbling down everything she said and would line up in long lines to ask her advice.
She heard story after story of women who wanted to take action in their lives – start a business, go for the promotion, ask for a raise – but didn’t know what to do.
Or even more than that – they didn’t believe they could do it. So, Erin did a test.
The essentials from business school – in a more relaxed, inviting environment
Combining the feedback from women on the book tour, with her experience of being an entrepreneur, techie and educator, Erin created an online program to teach women the essentials from business school – but in a more relaxed and inviting environment.
Safe space to ask questions and practice your skills
She wanted it to be a safe space – something that would feel more like you were having coffee with your girlfriends, than sitting in an intimidating classroom. It was designed to boost your confidence and courage, along with essential business skills.
Year of Action, the company, was born!
Today we have blended programs (online with face-to-face components), fully online programs, onsite workshops and webinars.
