Best speaker at our event!

Eric saved our event! He was so great at taking a heavy subject, and make it interesting and exciting to listen to. Our group was talking about his session the entire week. Lots of relevant information that everyone could relate to. I highly recommend inviting Eric to your next event.

What to expect

Eric knows your success is his success. Not only does he want the talk to go well, but wants the entire event to engage your audience so they want to return and bring their peers with them next time. To do this we want to build the "Return on Attendance" or ROA. Eric provides a long list of valuable things he can do before, during, and even after the event to help build on what he shared during his keynote, to promote you and your event, and to drive traffic to your social media and registration.

You can expect that Eric will show up early, be prepared, and be ready to delight the audience. You can expect a custom-tailored keynote that targets your wishes for your attendees.

Influences and inspiration

Although Eric is an architect, author, and sustainability expert, his stage persona is much more like a comedian, with influences from other comedians: Patton Oswalt, John Mulaney, or Gary Gulman. Professionally, his approach to innovation and change management is inspired by "Start With Why" (Sinek), "Good to Great" (Collins), and "Drive" (Pink).

The tone is one of joy and inspiration, and a drive to take action now. There is no pressure, guilt, or negative feelings allowed in Eric's talks!
