Initiated by Change: A Practical Playbook for High-Stakes Transitions
Session Summary: This talk will share a practical, embodied framework for navigating and initiating change with clarity and confidence. It blends real-world strategy with somatic practices that help leaders not just “manage” change, but use it as a catalyst for growth.
Key themes include:
The three stages of transition: disruption, the messy middle, and the new beginning.
Why women in our industry face unique challenges during change — and the myths that hold us back.
The Reset Framework: a step-by-step playbook (Audit, Regulate, Redesign, Reclaim).
Tools for nervous system regulation and emotional resilience.

Erika Latta, MBA
Erika Latta is the founder of Inner Edge: The Whole Human, where she works with high-performing women in male-dominated industries who are ready to stop leading from survival mode and start leading from strength. After 25+ years in the chemical industry—serving aerospace, mining, and pulp and paper sectors from Account Manager to Key Account Executive on a global scale—Erika knows exactly what it costs to succeed in these environments. Her background includes the US Air Force, an MBA, and hard-earned lessons about what happens when external competence isn't matched by internal capacity. She created The Inner Edge Method™ to address what traditional leadership development misses: the nervous system regulation that allows women executives to navigate high-stakes transitions without burning out or people-pleasing their way through. Whether you're a rising leader or seasoned executive in chemicals, mining, tech, or operations, Erika helps women who are done performing and ready to lead with regulated authority. Based in Vancouver, she's also a Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitator who believes the best leadership infrastructure is built from the inside out.
