Her audiences are comprised of multiple generations from Traditionalists to Gen Y.

She’s a certified Personal Brand strategist, certified Emotional Intelligence trainer, and a certified coach.

Erin has also trained with and assisted for Lee Mun Wah (Color of Fear) of StirFry Seminars, a nationally-recognized master in diversity and communications training.

Erin's career before becoming a trainer and coach was in high tech, where she was an East Asian product manager, IT project manager and IT change management analyst.

What she loved most about her jobs were the emotional and cultural dynamics of leading multi-cultural teams – whether they were made up of people in different countries, spread across different sites throughout the U.S. or even in different departments within the same building.

Now she combines her corporate experience and passion for diversity with training, branding and coaching to teach empowerful communication and cultural intelligence skills.

As a way to give back to the community, Erin, along with her husband, Gil Asakawa, founded www.visualizAsian.com to inspire and empower Asian American Pacific Islanders. They conduct live interviews with notable AAPI trailblazers from national politicians to writers, activists and entertainers using teleconference and web-streaming technology, to connect the community so they, too, can follow in their footsteps.
