Everything’s Not OK and That’s OK

MULTI-GENERATIONAL WORKPLACE EXPERT | COMMUNICATIONS CONSULTANT | SPEAKER

Thank you for stopping by! I started my business in 2015 as a side hustle while working full time at the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton School) and took it full time in 2017. Throughout my career at different universities, I noticed that students would be optimistic when talking with their friends about their professional future, last exam, or how they felt overall. But when I met with them one-on-one, everything wasn’t OK and they were open and honest about how they were really feeling. These conversations led to my business name… Everything’s Not OK and That’s OK.

We tend to hide behind our feelings and failures and try to put on a brave face. But, life isn’t always OK. Whether you’re a college student, young professional, business owner, manager, or executive; it’s important to be honest with ourselves and others about where we are and where we might want to go. True transparency and honesty make us stronger as individuals, teams and organizations.

I am passionate about helping others and their organizations take their communication to the next level. When we admit that we’re not OK, we open ourselves up to learn and experience things that we might not otherwise have done.

While I started the business as a way to help young professionals transition into their careers and find ways to stand out and get noticed; I now work directly with organizations and their leaders. I collaborate with them to bridge communication barriers between teams, generations, geography, and job functions; providing my clients with a strategic communication plan. I use my certifications (StrengthsFinder, MBTI and Strong Interest Inventory) across industries including: broadcasting, medical, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, industrial, education and government.

I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with non-profits to Fortune 500 companies and get to the bottom of pain points with employees. I facilitate spaces for them to come together and learn from one another. It’s during these training sessions and speaking engagements that I continue to bring to light that employees of all levels and backgrounds are looking to do good work, develop within their roles, and enhance the organization’s mission. I also provide strategies to communicate their needs, wants, and expectations in ways that each individual can understand and implement.

My expertise has been featured in media outlets such as Forbes, CNN, ABC, CBS, NPR, Moneyish and more. I come to every training and speaking engagement with an upbeat personality and true passion for wanting the audience and their organizations to get to the next level. I try to bring a fresh perspective that drives positive change both at the event and after.

I would love to get to know you and your organization’s needs. Sign up for a free discovery call to identify how we can work together to take you and your organization to the next level.

Erin Hottenstein

Founder of Colorado 50-50

Erin Hottenstein founded Colorado 50-50, a community group dedicated to gender parity in elected office and on boards and commissions. In just over two years, Colorado 50-50 has held trainings and events around Colorado with more than 450 people participating. The group is very active on social media and played a key role in advocating for a better work environment at the Colorado Capitol.

Hottenstein is also an Associate Trainer and Vice President at Public Speaking for the Professional. She has 20 years of experience as a trainer in corporate, collegiate and community settings. She has taught courses in presentation and communication skills, personality styles, goal achievement, self-esteem, personal finance and stewardship. Hottenstein holds certificates in coaching and training. During her early career in journalism, she worked in radio, television and print for which she earned numerous awards at the state and national level. This background, along with her subsequent work in public relations, has been a valuable asset to clients who are facing challenges with external communications.

VoteRunLead to put on a full-day campaign training in Denver

In May, we partnered with VoteRunLead to put on a full-day campaign training in Denver. We were so excited to train 50 women that day! (Photo credit: Alisa Geiser).

Casual, low-barrier ways for potential women candidates to meet elected women officials

We added socials to our mix of events. We wanted to create casual, low-barrier ways for potential women candidates to meet elected women officials. The elected women have been so great about "paying it forward" and encouraging the next wave of women leaders. This was at our March 2019 social.

One of my favorite T-shirts.

Winning With Women 2017

Our first Winning With Women was in May 2017 in Fort Collins. We were honored to have a former Congresswoman, a former mayor and a school board member. There have only been four women elected to Congress in Colorado's history. We have never had a woman governor or a woman senator. Obviously, we want to change that!

Colorado 50-50 is 100% volunteer powered

Here are some of our great volunteers! We usually have maps showing various political boundaries at Winning With Women, so you're seeing one of our maps.

Get the Harry Potter reference?

I love this "Can't Wait To Vote" t-shirt from Momsrising.org!

Jena Griswold's campaign 2018

In 2018, I volunteered on Jena Griswold's campaign. She was running for Secretary of State. There had been a number of very qualified women of various parties running for those top state executive seats, but after the primaries Griswold was the only woman candidate (of a major party) left at the executive level. Happily, she won! Colorado has had only five women secretaries of state.

This was at our recent Longmont, Colo., showing of "Councilwoman" a new documentary about a Dominican-American hotel housekeeper who runs for office in Providence, RI. Afterward we had a panel discussion with a state representative, a city councilwoman, and a union organizer.
