Eric Broich

Eric’s coaching journey began in 2018 as a GALLUP certified strengths coach and consultant. After successful roles in healthcare technology sales and consulting, he was recruited by Gallup as part of their “taking back healthcare” initiative in the employee engagement and strengths coaching space. Prior to this, Eric pursued an MBA in Conflict Management to deepen his understanding of working and thriving with others, as well as to expand his ability to better help people navigate interpersonal dynamics. While finding success, Eric yearned to find a role he was passionate about. Working to solve organizational challenges was stimulating but he soon found that working with people to be much more fulfilling.

Eric came upon his true north when speaking to a team member of a manager that he was coaching during his time at Gallup. After asking how the last few weeks had been since coaching their manager, they paused and uttered: “I didn’t cry in my car during lunch today.” That was his revelatory point. He found by raising the state of an individual, he could raise the state of the whole. It was contagious and that was his “more.” Through coaching and shared experiences with others, he aims to create a space of rewarded vulnerability. In this space people can articulate and aspire to create their authentic, best version of self, both personally and professionally.

Continuing to coach and consult for individuals and organizations has been an extremely fulfilling endeavor for Eric; he has worked with a wide-range of clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to start-ups. He also is eager to use his expertise to help families identify and leverage their strengths to encourage positive interpersonal relationships and a healthier overall system. When not coaching or consulting, Eric pursues a healthy and balanced lifestyle, finding joy in exercise, yoga, and nature. He loves to travel the world and currently splits time between the United States and Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
