“Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.”

While America’s special forces searched desperately with no luck for Saddam Hussein, a young Army negotiator stepped green off a plane to help, employed his own methodology based on the empathy model, and ultimately re-shaped intelligence collection on both the battlefield and in business. Oh yes, after speaking with dozens of informants, breaking through their fears and crusts without the use of force, Maddox got on the inside and provided special forces with the short window and exact location for Hussein’s capture.

Maddox’s masterful mixology of this edge-of-your-seat storytelling combined with the principles of empathetic listening provide both an unparalleled experience and training to transform business results, one listening conversation at a time.

Testimonials

“We had a fantastic event last night. I have been getting emails all day about how everyone enjoyed the discussions, venue, and presentations. Eric was a big hit – and he did a great job presenting. He actually ended up staying until after 9PM talking with our folks and signing books. That was much appreciated! ” Bill Ball

“WOW – I love Eric Maddox! He was a dream to have as a speaker – very low maintenance. And his presentations were excellent – really fascinating stuff and my people responded really well to him. I would have loved to have spent more time with him just to ask him questions… ”
Donna Berrington

“A one-in-a-billion story… best speaker I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Your willingness to spend time tailoring the presentation and answering members questions after the conference was most appreciated. I wish all the speakers I work with could be as generous and caring about the outcome of their efforts as you are.” Allison Zimmerman
