About

Eric Termuende is a keynote speaker, bestselling author, and researcher focused on one of the defining leadership challenges of our time: how to navigate uncertainty and change when the world refuses to stand still.

For over a decade, Eric has studied leadership, trust, culture, team performance, technology, and the changing nature of work. His work explores why traditional approaches to planning and leadership can break down when conditions change quickly, and what allows people, leaders, and teams to continue moving when the path ahead is unclear.

Eric challenges the idea that the best leaders are the best predictors. Instead, his research shows the importance of creating direction without pretending to have certainty, building the trust required for honest information to travel, reducing the friction that slows teams down, and making small, deliberate One-Degree Shifts that turn action into information and progress.

Eric has brought his research and ideas to hundreds of stages around the world, working with leaders and teams at organizations including Amazon, Toyota, IBM, Coca-Cola, Lockheed Martin, Nationwide, Zoom, and Nokia. His ideas have been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, and Inc., and his first book, Rethink Work, became a bestselling resource for leaders navigating the changing world of work.

On stage, Eric combines a researcher's curiosity with a storyteller's instinct and a speaker's sense of the room. Known for his energy, humour, and highly customized approach, he makes serious ideas feel immediately relevant and practical. Audiences leave with more than inspiration. They leave with a clearer way to lead, adapt, and move forward when the future is uncertain.

Testimonials

You absolutely knocked it out of the park & nothing but amazing feedback & accolades for you. I anticipate many inquiries will come your way. This was a special day for us and you made it exceptional.

Paramedic Chiefs

Following a great keynote at the Northwest Credit Union Association, we brought Eric in for two keynotes with our branches. His high-energy, insightful, and timely information was perfect for us as we navigate the future of work and continue to build an incredible workplace. His message was so well-received that we’re bringing Eric back for another event later this year (2022) and look forward to all he has to offer.

LCCU Credit Union

From the moment Eric took the stage, he shared timely, relevant information to help us build incredible teams and thrive in the future of work. He was entertaining, educational, and shared actionable insights that prompted many CEOs in the room to share that it was the best EO presentation they had ever experienced. Kudos, Eric! We were thrilled to have you and would highly recommend the great work you do.

Entrepreneurs Organization

I knew you’d have a great keynote, but seeing you in action on that stage was truly something else. I love the balance between entertaining the audience and challenging them to think differently. Your presence on stage, storytelling ability, and genuine connection to the audience were palpable and powerful. Our conference was better because of your message and delivery. I know our team is looking forward to another opportunity to work with you again.

Farm Credit Services

Thank you so much for a tremendous presentation today! It was outstanding! Hearing excellent reviews from the group here – people already citing your takeaways in their conversation and feedback. I will most certainly promote you and this presentation to other groups within Nationwide.

Nationwide

Eric, thank you so much for a great session! There has been so much feedback on your presentation. One of the best comments was this: ‘I learned so much that I can take back to our teams to share. This was the best presentation I have ever attended in all of my years at DQ.’ That particular employee has been with DQ for over 35 years!

Dairy Queen

Today’s presentation was great and I’m delighted at the response from the Team. The videos, the customization, and of course, your presence, knowledge, and energy made it a huge success! I’ve contracted and supported many Executive Leadership Summits for the agency over the years and it is not often that they say…”This is the best Summit we’ve ever had!” There’s been a lot of that type of feedback today and it is much deserved and well-earned praise.

In October 2020, in the middle of this Pandemic crisis, we had the pleasure to work with Eric for one of our episodes of our Dell Technologies Thought Leader Series. In addition to being a very fun person to work with, Eric was very generous of his time and an amazing presenter that our customers love!!!! His story was very inspiring and helped people with a different perspective during these difficult times.

Michel Lagacé
Dell Technologies

Wow, just WOW. Safe to say that was the best virtual presentation we’ve done yet, and not just for this event! The comments section definitely showcased that. Thank you very much for that incredible presentation. I will be in touch again very soon.

Nadia Ahmed
Senior Conference Producer, Key Media

We had the opportunity to bring Eric in as the keynote speaker for our annual strategic planning workshop with all of our Senior Leaders. Eric did an excellent job of helping us understand and connect the links between strategy and culture with some “one degree shifts” in our thinking about people and process. This slight change in our thinking was a great catalyst for the subsequent discussions as we built out our strategies for the coming year.

Dan Klassen
Vice President Human Resources At Toyota Material Handling

Eric delivered an engaging, inspiring and thought-provoking session to our audience. It was a pleasure working with Eric - he delivered the perfect presentation. Eric is a charismatic and passionate storyteller with great insights, real-world experience and exceptional presentation skills. It was a pleasure to work with Eric and I would highly encourage any organization to invite Eric to present to their community!

Joshua Zaporzan
University Of Manitoba, Stu Clark Centre For Entrepreneurship

“Eric delivered a high energy, engaging and informative keynote that left our people leaders inspired, informed and committed to shifting 1 degree. The ask of creating a conversation about what ‘has got us here, won’t get us there’ was met 100% with modern research and examples of companies that were relevant and thought provoking. Eric has a gift for deep listening, challenging the status quo and confidently sharing his stories with humility, humor at a world class standard.”

Laura Appleton
Senior Manager, People & Culture

“Eric Termuende was our keynote luncheon speaker at EnviroTech 2019. His presentation was timely, enthusiastic and engaging. His love of his work comes through in the energy that he delivers his presentation with. Eric's presentation contains nuggets of wisdom not only for employers but employees as well, nuggets that will reshape the future of their work. ESAA would highly recommend Eric for any speaking opportunities.”
