About Eric

My personal journey to coaching took many twists and turns.  I started my career in the corporate business world where I worked in strategy, marketing, and finance at companies such as McKinsey, Intuit, and Taco Bell Corp.  I also started a qualitative market research business where I learned entrepreneurship, as well as the skills to listen deeply, ask powerful questions, and transform insights into action.  

Along the way, I have explored my interests in human development, Buddhist psychology, neuroscience, somatics, mindfulness meditation, and even acting and improvisation.  This passion for personal growth ultimately led me to pursue coaching.  

I believe that these diverse experiences allow me to bring a unique perspective to coaching – one of depth, openness, and empathy, as well as practical business acumen.  

I hold degrees in Math and Economics from UCLA and an MBA from Harvard University.  I completed my coach training at Newfield Network where the coaching education is deeply integrative and embodied.  

Coaching is a passion of mine.  I believe that we all have untapped skills and inner resources that a trusted partner can help unlock.  It is my privilege to support clients in realizing that potential.  

“Eric is incredibly professional yet very relatable.  I do well with empathetic but firm coaching styles – people that are willing to challenge me and my thinking, but also hold my emotions with a gentle hand.  Eric did just that for me.  He helped me work through some personal barriers and provided tools for me to have confidence in my actions moving forward.”

Finding the right coach 

I encourage you to interview several coaches.  While a coach’s background and experience are important, choose the one that resonates the most with you.  A competent coach for somebody else may not be the right one for you.  Schedule a call to assess if there is a match.  As with any partnership, mutual fit is essential for success.  I welcome the opportunity to explore the possibility of working together.
