Erika Osterling
Founder
I founded Steeped Advisory to help leaders succeed in their bold career advancement goals and create business breakthroughs. I partner with experienced leaders (Directors to C-suite executives) to develop their leadership profile and augment their capability to anticipate and tackle complex business challenges.

I build deep trust and strong partnerships to inspire my clients one conversation at a time. It is a privilege to work with incredible people that welcome me in their journeys. I lead with empathy, but I will not shy away to pose hard questions and offer a candid point of view in service of your goals. For those looking for a thought partner, my business acumen and leadership experience uniquely position me to be a peer and sounding board.

As a proud Mexican, I am passionate about the advancement of diverse talent into executive leadership. As a wife and mom of two young daughters, I am growing Steeped in pursuit of  joy, achievement, and lasting contribution.

WHY I CALLED IT STEEPED

Similar to Steeping Tea, Careers and Coaching are deeply personal.

Flavors
and Career Paths

Favorite flavors and career paths evolve as times and life seasons change.

What is fabulously gratifying for one person, could be far from another one's taste.

Steeping Time
and Career Pursuits

Reflection often unleashes the discovery of new flavors and preferences.

Practice and refinement leads to your own steps and the development of important skills.  

Tea Ceremonies
and Coaching Chemistry

Presence translates into knowledge building through a shared experience.

The coach becomes a trusted guide in the journey.

Steeped helps leaders identify, pursue and succeed in their desired career path.
