CEO BLOG NATION: Two Founders Dedicated to Helping Busy Adults in All Aspects of Their Career and Personal Life

Mercy | August 16, 2018

The landscape of women entrepreneurs is significantly changing with more entrepreneurs coming up. Dr. Williams-McMillan  is a published thought leader in the most traditional sense while Erika Danina Williams is an accomplished leader with more than 25 years experience in the creative and financial services industries for many Fortune 100 corporations. The two founders of Color Your World Personal Development & Coaching, LLC are dedicated to making a difference in how women do business and live their lives. After nearly 20 years as a college professor, Dr. Williams-McMillans retired from teaching in the classroom and became IACC certified as a Life Coach, building a successful private practice. Drawing on her expertise and experience in the areas of adult education, professional training, coaching, e-learning & educational technologies, and curriculum design & assessment, she launched the company online in the Summer of 2017. Erika Danina Williams strives to apply McKinsey’s model of Centered Leadership to the practice — “having a well of physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual strength that drives personal achievement and, in turn, inspires others to follow.” She believes that making the move from surviving to thriving takes deliberate effort and a well-thought-out plan — starting with the crucial first step of discovering your true purpose. Having found her purpose in helping others accomplish their goals, she embraces the mission & vision of the Personal Success Program and shares this passion with you. We had a chance to interview Dr. Williams-McMillan and Erika Danina Williams and asked about their story, how they started their business and the future of  Color Your World Personal Development & Coaching, LLC.
