“Eric is a dynamic leader, speaker and facilitator.”

“Eric is a dynamic leader, speaker and facilitator. His real world experiences, and captivating approach to sharing with the audience, are both effective and empowering. His passion for well-being and cultural excellence are certain to impact people in many positive ways at work and home.”

“Eric’s messaging was right on point: right time, right place, right delivery.”

“Eric came to speak at an all day event for my staff recently. Eric delivered some critical messaging for operating and communicating effectively. Being a newly assembled group coming together, this was the first time individuals spent the day together offsite in the context of a team, lots to learn and appreciate when five teams become one. The messages resonated and hit home for a number of staff that day. I had several people thank me afterwards, appreciating Eric’s ability to remind us through personal storytelling how important it is to practice mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and wellness for a healthier work experience. I can’t thank Eric enough for his graciousness in working with me. He is a delight and incredibly attuned to what makes effective teams thrive.”

Mindi Israel, Head of Customer, Aver Inc.

 

“Eric Pennington pushed me to grow in all areas of my life.”

“Three months ago I would have never imagined I could truly be this happy with my life! Eric Pennington pushed me to grow in all areas of my life. He taught me how to find clarity so that I could focus on achieving goals that I valued versus what I thought others wanted me to achieve. He helped me to identify the things in my life that caused stress and gave me the tools on how to manage it. Before my coaching with Eric, I wouldn’t admit it but I was somewhat of a control freak. I was always told growing up that “people don’t plan to fail, they fail to plan.” I would not handle things well when they didn’t go my way. Eric was quick to find solutions on issues that I never identified just after one session. He taught me that control is a deceptive thing and it gives us a false reality that we have power where we don’t. Through various conversations and exercises, Eric helped me to grow in all areas of my life. I will forever be thankful for working with Eric and I would recommend him to everyone!”

Kayla Waller, Regional Sales Director, JP Morgan Chase

 

“The 30 Day Breakthrough gave me an opportunity to step back and assess…”

Life can become incredibly busy.  It is easy to lose focus on what really matters: faith, family, health.  I have always known what I should be doing.  The challenge has always been putting that knowledge into action.  The 30 Day Breakthrough gave me an opportunity to step back and assess how closely my actions were aligning with my personal and professional goals.  Taking the time to develop a plan, set small goals and focus my energy and attention on developing good habits has had a tremendous impact on my life.  I am keeping more promises to myself and those around me.  I am less stressed and more focused on being the best husband, son, team member, and citizen I can be.  I highly recommend Epic Living and the 30 Day Breakthrough experience.  Whether you are well on your way to obtaining your goals or are trying to right the ship, the basic tenets of the 30 Day Breakthrough are sure to add value to your life and help you realize your personal and professional goals.

“I would recommend  him to other companies.”

We hired Eric to work with our management team on the Take Time for Your Life program.  Being a small company, our team wears many hats and is cross trained in many departments.  We felt this was a great program to help them look at areas where they could expand their lives personally and professionally.  The survey was easy to take and produced excellent results. The team enjoyed delving into specific aspects of the program using both group and one-on-one time with Eric.   We found this tool so useful that we hired Eric to repeat his workshop at a regional meeting of select innkeepers.

Eric is a dynamic, fun loving speaker and I would recommend  him to other companies.

“Eric was a refreshing reminder of the value passion plays in our lives.”

Eric was a refreshing reminder of the true value passion plays our lives, how to bring this into our careers and how to connect and share that with others around us.”

“We continue to see the impact and results from this leadership session…”

“Our company identified ‘leadership development’ as one of our primary human resources strategic initiatives for 2004. We engaged Epic Living during our planning stage to learn more from Eric’s own experience in doing the same. We were so inspired by his message, his passion, and his genuine interest in what we wanted to accomplish we had him back to speak at our leadership pilot kick-off meeting and again in a later stage to conduct a vision casting workshop for the group. We continue to see the impact and results from this leadership session and cannot thank Eric enough for helping to get us started and share his own lessons learned. As for myself, I continue to reflect back on his message of ‘cast your vision’ and have embraced this for both myself and to those that look to me for mentorship.”

“For me, your talk this morning was a great reassurance in the value of self-reflection…”

“For me, your talk this morning was not only a great reassurance in the value of self-reflection and taking the time to really commit (and recommit) to finding your own path, but it was also another great reminder for me to keep taking the steps I need to live that full, well-rounded life I want for myself.”

Sarah Wilcox

“Eric Pennington’s kind, challenging, honest coaching helped me form a concrete vision…”

Someone much smarter than me once said “A vision without execution is a hallucination.”Eric Pennington’s kind, challenging, honest coaching helped me form a concrete vision of the authentic man that I want to be.  I have been able to execute on that vision with Eric’s guidance through a number of experiments that pushed me to grow and remained focused on my cornerstones.  My wife notices that I am happier, relaxed, much more present and a better communicator since we began working together.  My relationship with my daughter is stronger than ever.  I can sincerely say that I am a better father, husband, boss and friend because I am living an authentic life.   Thank you for helping me regain a solid foundation for future building.

 John Habanek

 

“…helped create better relationships.”

“Eric Pennington brought Epic Living to life for me personally. When we met, I was dead to my potential. Eric began teaching the principals of Epic Living at my work. Once I began putting the principles to work in my own life, it made a huge difference. I found out so much about myself including my strengths and passions. Living out the principles has increased my confidence and helped create better relationships. I owe so much of who I am today to Eric’s teachings.”

Robin Stephens

“My experience with Epic Living has been unbelievable. The content is realistic and very applicable. The use of video clips in modules adds a different dynamic to help relate to the subject matter. The open interaction allows you to share and grow from a variety of experiences. When you walk away, you take action steps with you to help get you started in the right direction.”
