WINNING WELL BY EMBRACING YOU
ABOUT ERIC
Ten years as a professional athlete will teach you a lot about yourself, your own mind, how to get the most out of others and what it takes to win, something we all aspire in our own lives. The problem with winning, is it comes at a cost. That cost, however, doesn't need to be at the detriment of our well-being.
​
Since retiring from professional basketball, Eric has made it his life's work to help the future generations of athletes who will come through the ranks and inevitably face the difficulties so many professional's face. Winning doesn't have to come at a cost, if we understand how we think and the impact it has on every area of our life.
​
Eric's experiences taught him very simply, that better people will always garner better results. The more we develop who we are, the better prepared we are to achieve our goals and impact the environments around us which is why Eric has worked tirelessly to use his story and experiences, as the fuel to inspire audiences while delivering the tools needed for every single person to move forward.
​
Eric's approach is unique and completely authentic. He is known as not only a speaker, but an individual, who will give you the unfiltered truth which has made him highly relatable and effective, particularly to the younger generations. Honesty, authenticity and transparency are Eric's core beliefs and are what his foundations are built on as he works to make the world a better place, one audience member at a time.

CAMPAIGN
For Schools
A study published in 2022, found that 46% of students aged 16-25 are suffering from stress that is significantly effecting their mental health.
Suicide is the leading cause of death among young Australians. More than 350 young people aged 18 to 24 take their own lives every year — this is more than the number who die on the roads. For every young person who dies by suicide, there are 100 to 200 more attempts according to the study.
​
Eric delivers immense passion and impact as someone who was affected by both of those statistics and uses his time as a professional athlete to connect through his own experiences to keep students engaged and his presentations to make genuine impact on the lives of his audiences.
​
However, the work doesn't stop there. Teachers and administrators are essential to the growth of the next generation which is why Eric offers his services to enhance the leadership and impact each individual administrator can make.
For Organizations
There is no doubt, especially post COVID, the workplace has changed. It is estimated that 12 Billion working days are lost globally every year due to depression and anxiety, amounting to a loss of US$1 Trillion annually.
​
By next year, 75% of the work force will be driven by Millennials. 21% of Millennials, however, are likely to leave their current job in the next 12 months and only 29% are engaged in their work while 55% are disengaged and 16% are actively disengaged. [source]
​
The answer? Professional development. 71% are likely to leave their jobs if they become dissatisfied with how their skills are used and 61% believe professional development directly ties into job satisfaction.
​
Understanding the next wave is instrumental in developing a healthy working environment that achieves results and creates continuity. There is no, one blanket approach to development however the connection to well-being and professional development is clear.
Working With the Best Clients and Partners
Kerry S., Principal K-12
“Eric's ability to connect with our students is something that is incredibly beneficial to our students and staff. His experiences as a professional athlete and his journeys resonated with our students quickly and they certainly took what he had to share on board. His ability to make such an impact has left us impressed.
​
Eric also delivered an excellent presentation to our leadership group. His story is inspiring but the way he connects his experiences and relates it to every other story in the room is what made his presentation so meaningful. His presentation certainly left a lasting impression on our staff and gave us the tools to make our school environment a more student and teacher friendly environment to be in. Highly recommend."
Louis I., Head of Sport
"Bringing Eric in was so beneficial for us as a group, including the feedback I received as a coach. I was really impressed with how quickly he was able to connect with the students and understand them at a real depth to ensure they were able to get the most out of the session with him.
I saw a completely different team the next day at training. They were all locked in and engaged the whole training, communicating, giving feedback to each other, holding each other accountable in ways that we had never seen before as a staff. They seemed so much more mature, understanding more and more about themselves and their peers!
They definitely took the information on board and have grown from it in a very pivotal time in their lives!"
Lisa D., Event Organizer
"Eric's Keynote Speech was a truly inspiring experience. His journey as an athlete, combined with his candid discussion on his mental health journey, left a profound impact on everyone in the room.
Eric has a unique ability to connect with the audience, offering valuable insights and practical advice. Eric uses his story as a powerful reminder of the strength of the human spirit and the importance of prioritizing our mental well-being and how we can do so while still chasing our biggest goals. His keynote made a very lasting impression on myself and our audience members.
I would definitely recommend Eric for any future events."
