Eric, It was an amazing talk (yesterday). Thank you for your insight and for sharing your wisdom.
Ronald Madapat Client Support SpecialistADP
Eric’s enthusiasm is contagious! I get to work with and hear many talented communicators in my role as a senior executive of a multi billion dollar company. That said, I’ve never worked with anyone so enthusiastic about connecting with people! Eric is unique in that he studies both the science and art of communication techniques. He applies both in his coaching sessions. Eric demonstrated the depth of his experience by predicting our hurdles before we encountered them. This realization that we were in very capable hands, led to trust and progress early in the process. Together, we were able to quickly develop and deliver a very impactful message at a key industry event. Thanks Eric!
Jim RichardsManaging PartnerAnnexus Ventures
Wow! You absolutely “rocked it” in your presentation. Thank you so much for giving one of the most electrifying and exciting presentations that we’ve had the opportunity to host.
