- the personal liberty, flow, inner and outer abundance
- (abundance – consider the Gross National Happiness holistic understanding of poverty and wealth: there is economical, ecological, cultural and spiritual wealth; when the latter three are high, you need very little economical wealth)
He shares the bottom line of Craig and Marc Kielburger
- banish the terms impossible and hopeless from your vocabulary
- we can change the world and millions of activist changemakers are proving it every day
As a consequence, Eric
- does not listen to the arguments of inhabitants of unsustainable societies
- based on defunct meme patterns … none of which qualify for a global, peaceful, just, thriving and sustainable civilization
Eric does not engage in talkshow style discussion
- with those sticking to the old hurtful societal models with 50% cancer rates, 30-80% child rape rates and abominable corruption by incompetent people in positions of influence already leading to self-destruction, choosing to pass on this obscenity to the children generation of today and the future, even denying them the right to learn how to change things for the better. Ugly!
ERIC INVESTS HIS TIME
- in those willing to LEARN, SPREAD and IMPLEMENT humanity’s finest changemaking knowledge for creating a civilization of awesome for all

- who appreciates if you support or play the sport at district level
- but says that in our time, it really matters to play at top class level
- and that YL is for everybody
- but his consultation and YL leadership programs
- are for those on fire to make changemaking their sport of awesome, as athletes like their famous peers
- Eric is your best friend mix of Dumbledore, Legolas and Aragorn
- with a quiver full of arrows and magic wands on everything youth leadership, sustainability, education, learning culture and everything for creating a good world for all.
He is able to
- sense the essential gem in best practices, societies, cultures and traditions
- combine, refine and upgrade them
- convey them in humane language
- unite the sectors of education, youth, changemaking, media, administration and entrepreneurship
- along aligned aspirations for win-win benefits
As a planetary guardian
- he has an eagle eye for global solutions and a clear sense for quality
- sharpened by his Native American warrior uncle
- for sniffing out bugs and shadows
- so only the purest and finest be featured in YL
He also detects, knows and unveils
- the really bad bugs in unsustainable hurtful broken societies
- as well as people and institutions
- that others are too blind or afraid to face
For you, that’s great news, because
- he finds the best for you
- you can trust that everything in YL is ace
- he shamelessly whips you to immerse yourself in all of it, so you become awesome
- this gives you access to the best food, tools and community for creating a good world
FOR YOU to learn to pave the path to a good future of peace, love and abundance for all.

If Eric has a priority it is ACTION-orientation; when booking him, make sure to open space for enabling tangible results by empowering the audience. Also: Eric is not capable fall back into a stoneage of linear powerpoint presentations. He’ll be creating from the moment, using a mix of usb stick, cardgame, posters, web, and call in some friends “live on skype” if they’re online. |
