 Building trust has never been more essential with the transformation of businesses going virtual this year. While serving as a military interrogator, Eric conducted more than 2,700 interrogations including the collection of intelligence that led to the exact location of Saddam Hussein in 2003. Through this experience of dealing with language, religion and hate barriers, Eric developed a communication technique that built the highest level of trust.  

In Eric's premier talk, he will share how to: 

• Integrate empathy-based listening into your communication with employees, co-workers, clients, friends and family
• Remove distractions and raise the listening level from the standard 25% to Eric’s level of 90+%
• Identify portals of empathy in a conversation that will blow through all other barriers of communication  
• Maximize your influence in all areas of life

For clients who want further training on Eric's methods, he offers a 1-2 hour program as a follow-up to his Empathy Based Listening keynote.

Eric will create a series of 30, 45- to 90-second micro videos that can be sent out in a drip campaign to reinforce his presentation. Please ask your GDA agent for pricing.

Eric's speech is 60-90 minutes and is a roller coaster of events which keeps audiences enthralled. Staff Sergeant Maddox reveals the shocking events that lead him to discover the location of Saddam Hussein after five months of working with the most elite task force in the world and the methods he used to do it. His lessons are from a one-of-a kind experience and they work in any industry.

Eric shares insight on how he learned to lead from below and work with his commanders, ultimately leading this very cohesive team to the location of the world's most wanted man at that time.

Eric will provide his 2 hour Negotiation and Listening Training to a small group of clients or employees that the client chooses. This is a favorite of every client and is always value added.
