I help leaders in health and wellness, human services, and human development transform their organizations to meet the needs of the 21st century by putting them in touch with what is most promising within themselves and in the world around them. I help these leaders create organizations, systems, and environments in which people thrive.
My clients always experience greater creativity, energy, and commitment to act as a result of working with me. I make the future safe, and I serve as a “tuning fork” that holds the pitch of the client’s aspirations as they undergo a significant and important transformation. I help them find and realize new opportunities to serve their purpose and to find greater meaning in their lives.
Here's what clients are saying about me:
“What you’ve been able to do here in Memphis is to help people think not just ‘outside the box’ but ‘outside the building.’ You’ve enabled people to go beyond the conventional strategic planning process or the ‘boiler plate’ strategic planning process that most institutions use... With the way you first of all listen and second of all encourage openness, you have the capacity for people to trust you almost instantly."
Robert R. Waller, MD, Former CEO, Mayo Clinic
“You do a good job opening people up because you do that yourself... You are clearly into this with every cell in your body, and that really captures people. This isn’t just an interesting gig to make money. It’s really apparent that you walk the talk.”
Mary Kaplan-Vallier, President, Endowment for Health
“I have to share with you that the day you spent with us has totally transformed my thinking on a variety of fronts.”
Sue Williamson, Portfolio Director, Health Care, The Colorado Health Foundation
“Eric is a skilled facilitator: one who presents a quiet and attentive strength that inspires me to be reflective, thoughtful, and sometimes mind-bending in the space he deftly creates for participants. He adjusts to the client while tactfully making suggestions and guiding the conversation to a better outcome that is productive, accomplished, and thought provoking.”
Gina Capra, Director, VHA Office of Rural Health
