Eric Boles

“It’s not that often that you find a speaker that reflects the immediate needs of an organization, and knows what it is thinking, and what it needs. Eric Boles recently did that for us at Endo… twice!! Eric’s ability to simplify and condense “leadership speak” into meaningful and relevant bits that relates to all of us…has been effective, as well as inspiring for the entire team. In times of organizational change, as well as uncertainty, Eric’s message resonates well with individuals throughout the organization. Eric, thank you for your motivating, and grounded message!”

“Ansell would like to acknowledge how impactful your ‘virtual’ motivational presentation was for our 4-day virtual North American sales team. Listening to your hour-long presentation was the true highlight for our more than 200 attendees. We greatly appreciate the approach you took, listening to our key sales leaders and applying your insight to make them more impactful for our Ansell sellers. Your message really resonated with everyone and with your energy, you were able to keep them highly engaged throughout. Since your presentation, I have had many colleagues comment on the fantastic ‘take-aways’ and how they envisioned implementing them both professionally and personally. Thank you again for such an inspirational and personal presentation to our Ansell Sales Team!”

"WOW!!! I, along with our entire sales team were blown away! You grabbed us from the first minute and held us on the edge of our seats for the entire 90 minutes. Your message was tailored perfectly to fit our audience and was exactly what we needed to hear! Eric, your insights on both professional and personal peak performance were so relevant to all of us. Your passion combined with your expertise, communicated in such a “useable” way was so refreshing. Plus, you taking the time afterwards to sign everyone’s book was just priceless! Seeing the looks on our people’s faces as you greeted them, shook their hands, and looked them each in the eye and exchanged a quick comment or story was incredible! You were the talk of everyone afterwards. Eric, I can’t thank you enough. I would recommend you to any organization, agribusiness or not, that wants a fabulous speaker who will leave a lasting impression. Our people are still talking about you a month later! You were so great to work with, too. So genuine and humble."

"Your passion, energy and excitement permeated the room like no other keynote speaker we have had before. Your message set the stage for the entire meeting, capitalizing on the theme “Game Changer” and truly brought it home to all attendees…both Motion employees as well as our suppliers! I can’t tell you how many people came up to me after the meeting and commented about how you impacted them. Many told me they were ready to go out and sell more immediately after you spoke. To sum it up, you “lit a fire” with just about everyone in the room."

“Eric Boles was the wonderful keynote speaker for Furniture Today’s recent Bedding Conference. In football terms, Eric caught our pass and ran it in for an early touchdown. In business terms, he gave us a lot to consider. Here are just a few of the comments we received on Eric on our evaluations. These are all direct quotes:

• Awesome. 
• Dynamic speaker.
• Really enjoyed him.
• Relevant and everyone can relate to sports.
• Very motivational.
• I loved Eric’s energy. He is an amazingly gifted speaker.
• Made us think beyond our business to leadership.

Eric received top scores on his address, and he set the stage for what was our highest-rated Bedding Conference ever. He had energy, great content, and humility, and he talked about something even more important than business: The importance of taking care of ourselves. You would do well to ask Eric to kick off your next big meeting.”
