Questions planners ask

How long are Eric’s presentations?

Tell us the time slot you have in mind when you inquire, and Eric will fit the session to your agenda.

Does Eric offer customized presentations?

Eric’s keynotes start from his six topics, and every one comes with his proprietary SketchMap® framework as a deliverable your people can reference for taking action long past the event. Tell us about your audience and what you need them to do next when you inquire.

Does Eric engage with the audience during his talks?

Eric’s keynotes are highly visual. Through his SketchMaps® and visual storytelling, audiences see the connections, priorities and next steps that previously felt difficult to grasp.

Eric is an international keynote speaker and has delivered three TEDx talks across the USA, Europe and Asia.

Does Eric guest on podcasts?

Podcast hosts can reach out through the inquiry form.

Who does Eric speak to?

Each of Eric’s six keynotes is built for a specific audience:

  • Team Amplifiers®: organizations, teams and leaders
  • Career Amplifiers™: college students and young professionals
  • Financial Amplifiers™: individuals, families and business leaders
  • Sales Amplifiers™: sales professionals, managers and leaders
  • Marketing Amplifiers™: individuals and teams building brand and opportunity in a crowded marketplace
  • Communication Amplifiers™: professionals, managers and leaders who want their communications to be uncommonly effective
What sets Eric apart from other speakers?

Lived experience and a completely distinctive way of making ideas stick. He is not a commentator looking in from the outside. Eric has spent more than 25 years in complex business environments, is a Managing Equity Partner at Pacific Advisors and holds eight advanced financial designations. He has also delivered three TEDx talks, written three best-selling books and published numerous articles in Forbes. His proprietary SketchMaps® turn complex concepts into frameworks audiences can understand quickly, remember easily and act on immediately. It is mobilization, not motivation.

How can we make the most of Eric’s appearance at our event?

Tell Eric as much as you can about your audience and what you need them to do afterwards, so he can pitch the content at the right level. Every keynote includes his SketchMap® framework as a deliverable, so share it with attendees and use it as a common reference for the work that follows.

Can we record or stream Eric’s presentation?

Mention any plans to record or stream when you inquire, including how the recording will be used and where it will appear.
