The Art of Self-Awareness + The Science of Differentiation

An energetically and emotionally intelligent, multi-disciplinary approach to leadership, professional development, and aligned career and personal growth. 

You’re Not Lacking Ambition.

You’re Lacking Alignment.

 

 

You’ve done everything “right.” You’ve worked hard. You’ve succeeded.
You’ve
led teams, delivered results, checked all the boxes…

Yet something still feels misaligned.

 

Maybe you’re:

  • Capable but not fully fulfilled

  • Working hard but not being recognized

  • Carrying pressure without direction

  • Hitting ceilings you can’t quite explain

  • Struggling with clarity around your next move

  • Feeling misunderstood or underutilized in leadership

  • Ready for more, but unsure of your natural path forward

 

What you’re feeling isn’t failure, it’s misalignment.
Your design reveals why… and what you’re meant to do next.

Business Sociology is Satori Synergy's signature human-centered, energetically intelligent methodology that blends sociology, organizational behavior, emotional intelligence and Human Design.

 

Erica coined this term to reflect her diverse studies and lived experiences leading to her expertise of assessing and addressing how people, energy, behavior and organizational systems engage and how those interactions shape leadership, culture, and performance.

 

She holds a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology, a MBA in Human Resources Management, formally trained the IHDS/BG5 Business Institute and hold a number of professional certifications. 

What is Business Sociology

This is not traditional coaching. It’s not personality typing. It’s not generic professional development.

It moves leadership development beyond personality types and demographics into the deeper patterns of human behavior, energetic architecture, and workplace dynamics, offering leaders a politically safe, deeply insightful way to elevate how they work, communicate, and create impact in a psychologically safe manner.

Awareness Alignment Authenticity


The Business Sociology framework for energetically aligned leadership.

1. AWARENESS — Decode Your Design: Who am I as a leader? What is my natural way of functioning? Why do I experience work the way I do?

2. ALIGNMENT — Apply Your Strategy: How do I honor my design in the environments, roles, and relationships I’m in? What shifts help me thrive?

3. AUTHENTICITY — Lead From Your Truth: Communicate from your natural voice, influence with integrity, and show up in real, sustainable ways.

Hi, I'm Erica

For over two decades, my work has lived at the intersection of human behavior, leadership, and organizational culture across social work, federal service, military communities, human resources, corporate business, and higher education.

Before founding Satori Synergy, I served as a chief diversity officer, advising corporate executives, shaping culture, and integrating Human Design and other social science strategies into leadership development as a pioneer.

My unique background, from crisis intervention and supporting transitioning Soldiers to training corporate leaders and navigating institutional politics, taught me one truth:

People don’t get results from generic career advice. They need precise, diagnostic insight into who they are as leaders.

That’s why I created Business Sociology, my signature framework for understanding your leadership language, aligning your career with your energetic blueprint, and unlocking authentic executive presence.

I don’t believe in quick fixes. I believe in sustainable transformation at the root.

If you’re ready to understand the leader you were designed to be, I can guide you on your journey.
