Eric Noel Speaking Testimonials

Eric’s strength is his ability to help audiences make connections across business, political and economics data. While facilitating a “Future Trends” session for an executive development series I ran at DPDHL, Eric was able to move our leaders out of their comfort zone. They left the session expressing a sense of urgency around leadership’s responsibility for addressing much more than the annual priorities, and committed to playing a key role in the on-going dialogue and actions needed to bring this to life in our organization.
