Eric is one of the few people in the world I can talk to about my biggest challenges—strategic and personal. He gets it, and knows how to bring out the best in me.

Trust through connection

We build high-trust collaborations with our clients. We start by listening, creating a safe container so we can get to know them almost as well as they know themselves. Then we grow the relationship by tackling their most important priorities together—as partners.

I’ve met, interviewed, and partnered with hundreds of coaches globally, and Eric is in the top 1% based on my experience working with so many coaching professionals.… Leaders in our organization request him by name because the good word has spread regarding his talent for helping leaders better themselves by bringing about necessary change.
