Eric helped me to understand that I don’t need to try so hard to fit in when I was born to be different! He challenged us to review our friendships. After today's session, I will embrace my individuality and only surround myself with people who will encourage me.

Eric's sense of humor and confidence allowed him to connect with the audience a lot more. He taught, inspired and motivated us, as young students, to build upon our failures. He was great! AAPOWDHBEFIRHUOFJRUIFHTREN!!"

“
Hearing Eric's story and how he overcame his insecurities set by other people inspired me. His story allowed us all to connect in some way and help us overcome the struggles with insecurities, pain and words of others that we deal with. His humour made us all comfortable with him before he began his story."

Eric was able to make an immediate connection with our students and keep them engaged. In privately asking some of our students for feedback later the same day, a couple of notable comments were “That was the best Chapel speaker we’ve ever had” and “I could have listened to him all day”. The workshops also offered our student leaders practical experience and help with their public speaking skills.

Eric’s message was clear and gripped the students from “Hello.” He connected with our youth immediately. “Between Your Mother's Womb and Your Tomb, what will your dash (purpose) be?” statement impacted our students. Many were challenged about their lives and what they are doing with their “dash.”

I was immediately struck by his passionate heart, entertaining delivery, impacting one-liners and receptivity to God. In the last 7 years, Lighthouse Christian College has partnered with Eric in multiple workshop contexts, I have seen Eric leave his mark, engender transformation, promote change and instigate dreams in those he is serving. He is the real deal!

Eric is one of the few people that have been able to connect to our audience on such a relatable and meaningful level. He was able to turn his upbringing into something that allows people to broaden their horizons and think about the positivity in which surrounds or community on a daily basis. His ability to make us laugh whilst also motivating us to better our self confidence, kept everyone involved. Truly was an honour to hear this man speak.

You are probably the most inspirational person i have met and i thank you because i don’t have a great relationship with my mum but when you told me to respect everyone, i went and respected my mum, i listened to her and now we are getting closer again, thanks to you.
I used to think i was no good, bad at everything but then you came and said that failure is just an event. And now i cannot forget these words.

Hey Eric, i just want to say thank you so much for coming to our school! You were amazing and really inspiring. I was so personally touched by everything you said and it was literally the best day ive had. I now see myself from a completely different perspective and in such a different way. I appreciate the time you took to talk to us
