It is not often I give someone or something a rating of ten (10), but that is a number that best describes Erick. He gets a 10 as a father, a friend and a human being. He gets a 10 as an entrepreneur and a business leader who can build, develop and guide great management teams and companies. Erick’s personal integrity and loyalty is above a 10.

Tore Steen

Entrepreneur & CEO

I have known and worked with Erick for over 20 years. A cornerstone of his style is to build consensus using a facts-based discussion, the organization’s mission and its core values to solve problems. This process sustains organizational integrity and inspires loyalty with both employees and clients.

I’ve worked with Erick for over a decade. I’ve observed his leadership over the years and been impressed by the firm, fair and fun way he approaches business. Whether leading from the stage, coaching one on one, or facilitating a group, Erick is exceptional. I’ve had Erick run many strategic planning sessions and he has a unique ability to synthesize group feedback and unearth the right issues to be addressed. He’s been an invaluable resource to me over the past decade.
