About Me
Coach Eric Lindsay
I’m a speaker, leader, and Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach. For over a decade, I’ve helped people see themselves clearly enough to act with confidence, from the front lines of nonprofit service to guiding emerging leaders in some of the most competitive academic and professional environments in the world.
I use research-backed tools and assessments to help individuals and teams understand how they’re wired, why they lead the way they do, and what becomes possible when they align their strengths with action. My coaching is practical, personal, and rooted in the belief that most people are not held back by a lack of talent—they’re held back by a lack of perspective.
I’ve had the privilege of coaching graduates from Harvard, Columbia, Notre Dame, Duke, and beyond. Many now lead at Fortune 500 companies and top consulting firms such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citi, Accenture, BCG, and Bain & Company, as well as innovative startups. Even the most accomplished can struggle to see their own strengths clearly, and when they do, the results are transformational.
My approach is also shaped by personal experience navigating challenges that demand resilience, focus, and clarity. That perspective informs the empathy and directness I bring to every session, workshop, and keynote.
Today, I work across entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship, helping individuals and organizations build leadership, confidence, and clarity that carry across every part of life. When I coach or speak, I bring the full weight of that journey, leaving people with more than inspiration—a clearer picture of themselves and a concrete path forward.
