hello there.
hello there.
After six years as a high school English teacher, Megan Gerber stepped away from the classroom to co-found The Paper City Mentoring Project and launch Paper City Coffee, creating an inclusive community hub rooted in mentorship. Leading these ventures sparked a deep commitment to understanding how leaders can balance accountability with humanity, which led her to earn a Master’s degree in Human Dimensions of Organizations from the University of Texas. Megan has since dedicated her work to helping leaders build cultures grounded in clarity, courage, and connection. She now coaches founders, executives, and teams navigating the complex work of leading others with compassion and curiosity.

Life Coaching & Online workshops
I know what it feels like to be STUCK. I leave room for a few life coaching clients because that type of support kept me afloat in the most difficult times. I also offer various virtual workshops throughout the year, covering everything from taking the Leap into Entrepreneurship to the Science Behind Unraveling Anxiety.
What my clients
have to say:
“A relevant and encouraging experience that sparked meaningful reflection across our team. We walked away with a shared language that we’ll continue using. Prepared. Engaging. Worth the investment. Our only wish was for more time. The work feels 100% aligned and needed. It was a meaningful reminder that everyone is watching what the library does, for better or worse. I appreciated the deep sense of encouragement to my team in the call to action: 'I’m asking you to keep going.' They needed to hear this now more than ever.” -James, Library Executive Director
“Megan helped me step back and see the bigger picture instead of getting stuck in the details. I’m now facing challenges I used to avoid, seeing the value of structure, communicating more clearly with my team, and actually taking care of myself, not just my business. My life feels more deeply connected and I am finally feeling like myself again.” -Heather, Attorney at Law
“Megan Gerber has changed my life. When navigating the chaos and confusion of starting my own business while also in graduate school, her calm, steady demeanor and genuinely loving presence helped me untangle emotional and intellectual knots without judgment. Her natural curiosity and unwavering compassion helped me develop deeper self-love, shed several layers of what was no longer serving me, and drastically improve my skills in setting sustainable boundaries in my relationships. ” -Anne, Small Business Owner
“When I came to Megan, I was turning 50, navigating work turmoil, and questioning my value. She helped me see myself clearly again. I now lead with more confidence, think in terms of possibility, and have a vision for my future that I hadn’t allowed myself to have before. If you’re on the fence, invest in yourself—you won’t regret it. I’m grateful I walked away stronger, more grounded, and with someone in my corner.” - Jen, Senior Director of Philanthropy
