What They’re Saying
On behalf of Gelatissimo, I want to thank you so much for your presentation at our Global G23 Conference recently on the Gold Coast. Your flair, passion, messaging and most importantly your message struck a chord with everyone in the conference. You fitted right in with our messaging and most importantly typified the passion and thoughts that we were looking for from our guest speaker. Thank you again and we would recommend you to anyone who is looking for an amazing presenter and true professional.
Thank you once again for your outstanding motivational presentation at Fujitsu SKO2022. Your message resonated with so many. “A true inspiration… a real story delivered with incredible energy and motivation that captivated the room. Eric reminded us of all of the importance of personal brand and awareness – how it impacts success.
Eric had the team engaged from the start, and by the end we had been on a journey of motivation, thought-provoking insight and good humour. The interactive workshop nature of the session was exactly what we were looking for, and the message of contribution (and belonging) to a team was brilliantly reinforced. Thanks Eric!

Most speakers tell stories about the past; I speak about the results I’m driving today. As the active CEO of The NLR Group—leading brands like Agile, IECL, and Corestone—I’m in the trenches scaling businesses every single day. I don’t just teach Championship DNA; I’m installing it across my own organizations right now.
I love a tough room. I don’t come in as a consultant with a PowerPoint; I come in as a practitioner who has sat in their seat. Because I’m currently leading teams through the same challenges they face, I have immediate credibility. I skip the fluff, address the real friction, and re-engage their competitive spirit. I’m not there to lecture—I’m there to help them win.
Every engagement is treated as a strategic partnership. Fees are based on the scope of the project and the level of customization required to hit your goals. I don't provide "off-the-shelf" speeches; I provide operational breakthroughs. Once we have a discovery call to audit your needs, I’ll provide a proposal designed to deliver a massive return on your investment.
While a keynote sparks a shift, true transformation happens through rhythmic execution. Because I am actively scaling my own companies, I only take on a select number of long-term advisory roles each year. These are for leaders who want to move beyond the "event" and actually install a High-Performance Operating System into their business.
I’m a practitioner, not a diva. I come prepared to deliver in any environment—from a boardroom to a stadium. My team will provide a simple one-page tech sheet once we’re booked, but my priority is always the impact, not the equipment. We make the process seamless so you can focus on your event.
