There has never been a time in Healthcare where we have seen more pressure, more stress or more burnout. Constant change is now the norm, and even the most seasoned executives are looking for ways to lead more effectively—and more sustainably. That’s where Leigh Ann Errico steps in.
As CEO and Founder of LAeRRICO & Partners, Leigh Ann works at the intersection of performance, leadership, and well-being. Her executive coaching firm that has more than 50 employees and partners with top healthcare professionals across Pennsylvania and beyond, helping them navigate the unique pressures of the industry with resilience, clarity, and confidence.
Coaching Through Complexity
“No matter how successful a leader may be, the best ones are always looking to improve,” says Leigh Ann. “That means not just developing their own leadership style but also elevating the entire team around them.”
Her work is grounded in a simple but powerful truth: healthcare leaders today are expected to do more with less, faster and better, while staying calm under pressure. And that kind of expectation can take a serious toll—mentally, physically, and emotionally.
That’s why LAeRRICO & Partners offers a three-pronged approach: executive coaching, team coaching, and wellness coaching—each designed to meet leaders where they are and help them get to where they want to be.
Specialized Coaching for Healthcare Leaders
Healthcare is a world of constant change—new regulations, technology rollouts, staffing challenges, and ever-increasing patient demands. Leigh Ann has built a reputation for guiding healthcare executives through these complex transitions, helping them lead with vision, strategy, and heart.
Her coaching topics are both timely and transformative:
- Leadership Coaching: Whether it’s building influence in the boardroom or leading with authenticity during high-stakes moments, Leigh Ann helps leaders step into their full potential.
- Burnout Recovery & Stress Resilience: With burnout rates among healthcare professionals at record highs, she teaches practical tools to manage stress while maintaining high performance.
- Neuroscience & Leadership: Drawing from research on the nervous system, Leigh Ann helps clients understand how emotional regulation can directly improve leadership and decision-making.
- Corporate Transformation & Change Management: She partners with hospitals and healthcare systems undergoing major shifts, offering clarity and support during pivotal moments.
- High-Impact Communication: Leigh Ann coaches leaders to communicate with confidence and intention—especially critical during crisis response or cultural shifts.
- Strategic Business Advisory: Beyond coaching, she serves as a trusted advisor, helping executives align their leadership style with organizational goals.
- Team Optimization: From C-suite to clinical teams, Leigh Ann strengthens collaboration, builds trust, and enhances collective performance.
A Wellness-First Leadership Philosophy
Leigh Ann’s approach is rooted in one guiding belief: that leaders who take care of themselves show up better for everyone else.
“We’ve seen again and again that the most effective leaders are those who are able to manage their energy—not just their time,” she explains. “They’ve built strong personal disciplines. They know how to regulate their stress. They take wellness seriously.”
Her firm integrates evidence-based practices like mindfulness, breathwork, and nervous system regulation into traditional leadership coaching frameworks, giving clients a toolkit that goes far beyond spreadsheets and strategy decks.
The result? Leaders who are not only more impactful but more human—grounded, energized, and able to lead with empathy.
Why It Matters Now More Than Ever
The stakes are high in healthcare, and the margin for error is slim. Leaders are being asked to inspire their teams, manage complex systems, and care for patients—all while dealing with their own internal stress.
That’s why coaching isn’t a luxury anymore—it’s a necessity.
“Stress is unavoidable,” says Leigh Ann. “But learning to manage it effectively leads to better leadership, stronger teams, and higher performance.”
In a region known for medical excellence—from Pittsburgh’s flagship hospitals to community-based clinics—Western Pennsylvania’s healthcare leaders are stepping up to meet a new kind of challenge: taking care of themselves so they can better take care of others.
And thanks to Leigh Ann Errico, they don’t have to do it alone.
