About Carey Erwin
Executive Performance Guide & Confidant
A Unique Journey to Executive Excellence
With over three decades in commercial real estate and specialized expertise in skilled nursing home transactions nationwide, Carey Erwin brings a unique perspective to executive performance coaching that simply cannot be found elsewhere in the industry.
Starting his career in real estate brokerage in his mid-20s, Carey's trajectory exemplifies the power of combining natural business acumen with advanced psychological techniques. His career reached its apex when he was retained as the Director of Acquisitions and Development for the nation's second-largest nursing care provider—a multi-billion dollar NYSE company with over 400 facilities nationwide.
In this executive role, Carey negotiated complex transactions with sophisticated investors, large regional operators, and corporate executives at the highest levels of the healthcare real estate industry. This experience provided him with unparalleled insight into the mindset, challenges, and decision-making processes of high-level executives and wealthy investors.
The NLP Foundation
Certified by Tony Robbins in the early days
A Pioneering Certification
In 1989, when Tony Robbins had only been in business for several years, Carey was among the early adopters who recognized the transformative power of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This early certification provided him with a foundational understanding of human psychology and performance optimization that would prove invaluable throughout his business career.
Unlike many who learn NLP as a theoretical framework, Carey immediately applied these techniques in high-pressure, high-stakes real estate negotiations and executive decision-making scenarios. This practical application over decades has refined his understanding and effectiveness with these powerful tools.
The results speak for themselves: his career trajectory from broker to executive director of a multi-billion dollar company demonstrates the real-world effectiveness of properly applied NLP techniques in business environments.
A Strategic Career Pivot
After stepping away from the healthcare real estate industry for several years, Carey is now making a strategic return—but in a completely different capacity. Rather than continuing as a broker or executive, he's leveraging his unique combination of executive experience and advanced psychological training to help other professionals achieve similar levels of success.
This career pivot represents more than just a change in direction; it's the culmination of decades of experience, learning, and refinement. At 63, Carey brings the wisdom of experience combined with the energy and passion of someone embarking on a meaningful new chapter.
Reestablishing Credibility
While many in the healthcare industry know Carey as a highly successful broker and executive, his reintroduction as an Executive Performance Guide and Confidant represents a new paradigm. This transition requires reestablishing credibility in a different context—not as someone who executes deals, but as someone who helps others optimize their ability to execute at the highest levels.
This unique positioning—combining proven business success with advanced psychological training—creates an unprecedented value proposition for executives seeking to enhance their performance.
