Introduction

Hi, I’m Eric Moore, but you can call me Coach Eric.

I’m a business and communications coach. I help introverts in the workplace show up with executive presence. I work with entrepreneurs, information workers, and creatives to grow their business and their careers.

Personal Story

In 1999, I had a run-in with a COO who was a real piece of work. His first words to me were, “Fix it or it’s your f*ckin’ job!”

That moment lit a fire under me. I decided right then that I'd never lead like that. I wanted to be the kind of leader who values meaningful connections and leads with compassion.

And that word compassion gets a bad rap because many people think it means being a pushover. But it’s not.

What it means is having the courage to recognize when someone you work with needs help up or needs help out the door. Just because you need to fire someone, it doesn’t mean without displaying compassion.

Fast forward 15 years, and I’ve had the chance to work with some incredible people and organizations—from tech giants like Microsoft to the creative geniuses behind Pokémon.

Every experience has been a lesson in what makes a great leader and how to build kick-ass teams and businesses.

And one other major pattern emerged for me while working in these fields: many of these brilliant people are introverts. And I want to help get their voices heard.

So, that’s my story. I’m here to show that leadership doesn’t have to be difficult—it can be about connection, compassion, and a whole lot of creativity.
