Eric is in the top 1% of executive coaches I’ve worked with globally. There are few professionals that are such a joy to work with – and even fewer that are also incredibly talented and impactful. Leaders at our organization request him by name because of his talent for helping bring about real, necessary change.
RACHEL BARAK
MANAGER, EXECUTIVE COACHING PROGRAM
Eric’s coaching was incredibly helpful to me at two key moments in my life. Professionally, he equipped me and my team to communicate successfully in an unusually high stakes environment, giving us both the skills and confidence to succeed. Personally, he brought a well of calm and caring to one of the most challenging periods of my life. What’s special about Eric is the depth of skill and understanding he brings to both executive leadership issues, and personal ones.

During my time as Chief People Officer at PayPal, I wanted to raise my confidence and impact as a speaker in public forums. Eric Nitzberg was a fantastic partner in that journey.

I grew a lot, professionally and personally with Eric’s support.
