Goodness over Greatness

Rethinking Success from the Inside Out

Overview

In a cul­ture obsessed with hus­tle, growth, and out­ward achieve­ment, many lead­ers qui­et­ly won­der: Is all this suc­cess sup­posed to feel this empty?

This com­pelling and sto­ry-dri­ven keynote offers a time­ly reframe: what if the path to true, sus­tain­able great­ness is paved with good­ness? Draw­ing from per­son­al expe­ri­ence as a founder and lead­er­ship coach, Erik invites high-achiev­ing audi­ences to rethink their def­i­n­i­tions of suc­cess, redis­cov­er what ener­gizes them, and reclaim the parts of them­selves they’ve side­lined in the pur­suit of more.

This is a mes­sage for the burned out, the qui­et­ly dis­con­tent, and the lead­ers who want to build busi­ness­es — and lives — that are both pow­er­ful and peaceful.
