Evanston, IL, US
Provide leadership, team development, and career coaching for participants in the Kellogg School\'s Executive MBA Program.Colette Feldges wrote:\"Eric Fridman has served as a leadership and team coach for the Kellogg Executive MBA program for the past 2 years. Being an alum of the program, he has particular insight into the challenges that students and teams can encounter during this experience. Eric\'s genuine and authentic talent for coaching is truly rare. He has the ability to connect with individuals - meeting them where they are and helping them think through how to get to a better place. He has on many occasions, intervened in a situation that seemed unresolvable. Using relevant frameworks, active listening skills and a perfect balance of compassion and accountability he has consistently helped our students separate the person from the behavior, identify constructive ways to deal with conflict, build self awareness and overcome barriers. His success rate in helping both teams and individuals get back on track and realize the most value from the EMBA experience has been truly remarkable. I respect Eric enormously - as a person and a coach - and offer my highest commendation of the work he has done for us.\"

ABOUT ERIC FRIDMAN
I support executives and professionals who want to become the leaders they’re meant to be - to lead from their core values, amplify their influence, and find greater joy and success in the work they do.In December 2021, I was diagnosed with myelodysplasia, a rare form of bone marrow cancer. In August 2022, I underwent a stem cell transplant and am currently in remission. I\'ve called my diagnosis \"the most precious gift I wish I\'d never been given.\" It\'s transformed my life, inspiring in me a profound sense of gratitude and a deeper appreciation for our human experience.What sets me apart is my long-standing meditation practice and belief in the power of mindfulness. These tools help leaders build the self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and resilience crucial for success in business today. Here\'s what my clients say about our work together:“Eric\'s genuine and authentic talent for coaching is truly rare.his success rate in helping both teams and individuals get back on track and realize the most value from the EMBA experience has been truly remarkable.\" Colette Feldges, Director, Executive MBA Program, Evanston at the Kellogg School of Management.\"Working with Eric as my executive coach over the past year has been nothing short of transformative.
