About ERICA

Career Strategist.Broadcaster. Author. Podcaster

I’m Erica Sosna — a BBC broadcaster, Good Housekeeping career columnist, award-winning career strategist, and author of two books.

For over 20 years, I’ve guided organisations, leaders, and individuals through career change, career clarity, and major life transitions.

I created The Career Equation®, a proven framework for career clarity and retention. My clients include Microsoft, Amazon, Savills, Thales, Rolls-Royce SMR, and Capital One.

I’m the author of Your Life Plan (Wiley, 2014) and The Career Equation (2019), and I write as Good Housekeeping’s career columnist, bringing my tools to millions.

In 2022, a car accident left me paraplegic. Learning to walk again demanded rigorous research, expert interviews, and relentless problem-solving. I now apply that same discipline to help others navigate career change and life’s big transitions.

I’m known for my ability to make complex ideas simple and usable — whether in the boardroom, the classroom, or the studio.

I host The Career Equation Podcast (Apple Top 20 in Business) and appear on BBC radio. I’m currently in project discussions for new radio and TV projects, and I am open to broadcast offers.

"You walked me through what was important to me and drew me ever so carefully to a point where the answers were obvious and the actions required specific and precise. The opportunity to meet and work with you have been life changing for me and I am very grateful that life dealt me you as one of my ‘cards’"

Andrew Owen, Business Director @CSM
“Erica gave us insights on how to make the most out of a mentoring relationship during this year’s Mentoring Program Kick-off. In the preparation she helped me to translate my ideas into an inspiring 2 hour program and during the virtual session she got everyone excited with tips, tools and sharing stories. Erica boosts the quality of a program and with her professional way of working you can be sure that everything is well organized and you get your desired output.”

Aniek Bogart, Mentoring Lead @Dassault Systèmes
“What made whole experience of working with Erica really valuable for me was the way she really took time to understand the culture within the team and the organisation, so that she was able to provide a programme that would really work for us. We were definitely not having this calibre of career conversation a year ago.”

Dawn Conneely, Financial Controller @Capital One
