Executive & Manager Coaching With Eric Swenson
Most coaching is designed for the C-suite. Ours is designed for the people who actually run your organization day to day..
Senior executives get coaches. Board members get advisors. But the managers in the middle — the ones responsible for your culture, your retention, your daily performance — are usually left to figure it out on their own.
That’s the gap we fill.
Who This Is For
Eric works one-on-one with:
New and recently promoted managers who are making the transition from individual contributor to leader and need a structured, practical foundation — not just encouragement.
Mid-level managers who are good at their jobs but hitting a ceiling — whether that's accountability, communication, difficult conversations, or simply figuring out how to lead people they used to work alongside.
Small and mid-sized business CEOs who want a candid, experienced thinking partner — someone who understands the real complexity of running an organization and won't tell them what they want to hear.
If you don't see yourself in those categories but think coaching might help, reach out anyway. The conversation is free.
What Coaching with Eric Looks Like
This isn't therapy. It isn't cheerleading. And it isn't a generic program recycled from a certification course.
Every engagement starts with a direct conversation about where you are, where you want to be, and what's getting in the way. From there, Eric works with you on the specific leadership challenges you're actually facing — not a standardized curriculum.
Sessions are conducted virtually and are available weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly depending on your goals and schedule.
What clients typically work on:
Making the transition from teammate to leader without losing relationships or credibility
Having the difficult conversations they've been avoiding
Building accountability on their team without becoming the "bad guy"
Developing their own leadership presence and communication style
Managing up, managing across, and managing people who are harder to lead than others
Getting honest feedback on their blind spots — the kind they won't get from their boss
What You Get
Working with Eric is different from most coaching relationships in a few important ways:
It's practical, not theoretical. Every session produces something you can use — a conversation to have, a decision to make, a behavior to change. Eric has managed hundreds of employees and interviewed thousands of candidates. He speaks from experience, not from a textbook.
It's candid. Eric will tell you what he actually thinks. If something isn't working, he'll say so — respectfully, but directly. That's what you're paying for.
It's affordable. Leadership coaching shouldn't be reserved for people with executive titles and expense accounts. Eric's rates are designed for managers and growing organizations, not Fortune 500 budgets.
It's personal. You're working with Eric directly — not a junior coach, not a subcontractor. Every session, every time.
FAQ’s
-
Most clients work with Eric for three to six months, though some ongoing relationships continue much longer. There's no minimum commitment — the engagement lasts as long as it's producing value.Description text goes here
-
All coaching is conducted virtually via Zoom or phone, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule regardless of your location.
-
Training is a group experience — workshops, cohorts, and shared learning. Coaching is one-on-one and entirely focused on you. Many clients do both: their organization participates in a training program while they work with Eric individually to apply what they're learning to their specific challenges.
-
If you're asking that question, you probably are. The clients who get the most out of coaching are the ones who are honest about where they're struggling and genuinely want to get better. Curiosity and humility matter more than seniority.
