What Our Clients Say


Denise A. Bowie
Eric has helped me understand you never stop growing as a leader and you are a better leader for the growth. He helps you step back from the situation to see what the real issue is and then guides you to solutions. He doesn't tell you what to do, he works through it with you. I have truly enjoyed working with Eric.

Shana Hurt
I walked in feeling stuck, unable to determine what else I could do to make an informed decision with significant consequences impacting a large group of people. Eric helped me identify practical steps that would likely uncover my unknowns in a relatively short period of time, thus enabling me to assess the ‘real’ consequences– and sensibility -- of the various options.

David Brookbank
As a coach, Eric challenges me to look deep into myself, to focus on “why” I do what I do, and set healthy boundaries so that I can focus on my business and avoid unwanted distractions.

Lyle Denton
I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity of having Eric come alongside me to develop me as a leader. He's helped me realize my potential and to keep forward momentum. It feels natural and 'safe' to discuss all things work/leadership with him.

David Grix
Eric’s coaching has helped me better understand my strengths and weaknesses as a leader. He has helped me to grow as a leader both in my business, as well as in my personal life. As a result of his coaching, I have become more strategic in how I choose to spend my time, which has given me more energy, better results, and led to an improvement in my quality of life.
