My Coaching

Inside of You is your next best step waiting to be taken.

You have access to the answers to your questions.  You are clear when stating your challenge, and when given support and the space to explore your options and possible solutions, you have been amazed at what emerges.  OPTIMUS is a catalyst in the emergence process.

Success Stories

Each of us has a highly individualized curriculum unfolding perfectly.  Your curriculum and outcome are linked and within you.  OPTIMUS leverages this fact and facilitates interactions and experiences to bring out your unique best from within you.

For Organizations

Organizations are dynamic communities made up of groups of individuals contributing perfectly to their present outcome.  To improve outcomes, OPTIMUS focuses on improving those contributions beginning with leadership …  for no organization can out perform the limitations of its leadership.

Your Next Best

Change is constant.

Improvement, expansion and development are all expressions of change.  OPTIMUS knows there is always more to you – your next best.

About Me

W. Scott Erickson, MBA, CPC

Coach/Consultant

Scott is an insightful, intuitive, supportive, facilitative coach/consultant with over 25 years of operations, management and leadership experience in human services with professional interests in personal, leadership and organizational development.  He believes that (1) “all help is self-help” based on his observations that “we receive everything we accept and dismiss everything we reject.”  So, he asks; “What have you accepted or “helped yourself to” that contributes to where you find yourself, now?”  Simply, how is what you are thinking and doing serving you?  (2) No one can self-develop for another.  Self-development is on you.  (3) He understands that transformation is aided through heuristic or experiential learning highlighted by Alan Watts’ quote; “you can’t get wet by reading the word ‘water’ – you must dive in.”

The OPTIMUS Approach

Your Thoughts


What are you thinking?”  Your thoughts have the greatest influence over your life because they are your first step toward what you want to achieve.

Your Emotions


What are you feeling?”  Emotions that spring up in you reveal greater truths than the thoughts you have about a subject.  Emotions are expressions of energy related to your thoughts.

Your Words


What are you saying and writing about what you want?”  What you say to yourself and to others are expressions of confirmation or conflict.  Words clarify.

Your Actions


What are you doing?”  Is your foot work moving you in the direction of your desires?

Your Attitude


How is your attitude?”  Your focus, determination, confidence or doubt will contribute to your outcome … you are invited to determine what serves you and your intentions best.

Scott combines amazing insights and very pragmatic tools – I highly recommend him if you’re ready to learn, be stretched and grow. He has a great skill at getting under the skin of your situation and providing you with a new way to perceive what’s going on – helping to unlock useful approaches to areas which once felt stuck.

Diane O.

Through powerful questions and heart-felt dialogue, Scott helped me to clarify my what was important.  His encouragement was reassuring as I stepped into the uncertainty of possibilities.  Scott brings great warmth, insightfulness, and spiritual grounding to conversations which promote growth and healing.  I highly recommend Scott as a life coach.

Diane R.

Scott has been instrumental on several occasions in opening up totally new vistas for me. His sincere and compassionate focus can be palpably felt at the same time as his sharp insight offers objective truths that have been able to breakdown my limited self-perspective. I highly recommend him if you really want to create positive change in your life.
