Meet Sharon Ehrlich
Empowering high-performing women
High-performing women deserve to be recognized and celebrated for their achievements. Sharon Ehrlich is committed to helping these women navigate their professional paths with confidence and purpose.
Sharon's journey
Sharon’s journey is deeply personal and resonates with many women. As the first in her family to pursue a professional career, she faced numerous challenges without her family’s support or understanding of the corporate world.
She experienced burnout from saying yes to everything, believing that hard work alone would earn her recognition and promotions. While she was busy working hard, others were working on their visibility.
Sharon accepted promotions without strategically assessing their value, often finding herself isolated as the only woman in the room. These experiences highlighted the need for mentors who understood her struggles.
Living While Leading was born from this realization. Sharon wants to support women by saving them time and helping them benefit from her experiences.
