Looking for a keynote speaker or public speaking engagement that goes beyond the podium? Eric Lee brings twenty-five years of hands-on experience building and leading businesses to every keynote speech, workshop and corporate training session.
As a business and leadership keynote speaker, Eric skips the one-way lecture. His talks and training sessions are interactive, engaging and often genuinely fun, built to get a room talking, thinking, and walking away with something they can actually use.

Four talks written for design and construction audiences. Every one can be shaped to your format and your time slot.
Practical lessons from building eight companies of his own, including one that grew to fifty-five people.
How businesses move from Startup to Stressed to Steady to Self-sustaining, and how to cross the chasm in between.
Leadership lessons drawn from twenty-five years on the ground in design, construction and development.
What actually makes a business sellable, and why so many owners find out too late that theirs isn't.
Don't see what you're looking for? These are just a starting point. Whether you're booking a conference keynote, a corporate retreat, an association event or an annual leadership meeting, Eric can build a custom speech or training session around almost any business, management or leadership topic your group needs. Reach out and let's talk about what would serve your audience best.
