It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance and spend time sharing stories. You send a great message and do great things. You have made an impression on my young leaders, & I am positive that you have touched the lives of everyone you spoke to last week.

You never really know how the experiences you share affect other people. Sometimes our lives require that we put things on hold, let our dreams smoulder but never extinguish, until the time is right to ignite the flame again. I feel like you did that!
Dianne - Delta Dental

Eric Alexander not only had an amazing story to tell, but he truly exemplified the characteristics of a humble leader. His story involved overcoming failure, overcoming unbelievable odds, and depending on personal spiritual faith for strength and wisdom.
Michael Baliko - MIDN USN
Our company hired Eric to speak at our annual retreat. From our first interaction he was engaging and curious to understand our business and the objectives we had for the event and for our teammembers. At the event, he was very approachable and quickly connected with various members of our group. His presentation was captivating, and it made a definite impact on many of the people in attendance. He has a direct and effective speaking style that combines with the AV portion of the presentation to give his audience a very clear picture of his experiences. He was excellent at drawing connections between his story and the challenges we face on a regular basis. Our Q & A was wide-ranging and incredibly informative. Eric was a 10 out of 10 for our group, and we would absolutely hire him again.
