Becoming the Leader You Want to Follow
Hi, I’m Eric.
I care deeply about developing leaders and helping teams become places where people feel safe, supported, and able to do great work together.
For a long time, I believed leadership belonged only to those with titles. Like many people, I assumed that those in charge understood leadership as both a privilege and a responsibility. Over time, I saw something different. I watched talented, committed people struggle under leadership that prioritized personal success over serving others—and it took a real toll.
That experience changed me.
Instead of waiting for leadership to improve around me, I decided to become the kind of leader I wanted to follow. I focused on living my values, listening more closely, and encouraging others to find their voice and lead where they were. What I discovered is that leadership doesn’t begin with authority—it begins with care.
Today, I spend my time helping individuals, teams, and organizations grow leadership capacity rooted in service, trust, and responsibility. I’ve seen firsthand that when leaders lead with humility and intention, teams perform better, cultures strengthen, and people thrive. This kind of leadership is practical, learnable, and within reach for all of us.
I believe the best leaders influence both hearts and minds—not through control, but through service.
The truth is, we all lead in some way. We can all grow. And when we choose to do it together, leadership becomes something that lifts people up rather than wears them down.
The work we do matters. And the people who do the work matter even more. If you believe that too, we’re already aligned.
Warmly,
Eric
