“Eric Tonningsen has just the right mix. He was able to deliver a serious message packed with valuable content without being dry and boring. I feel that his background as a Life Coach keeps him very audience-focused. Eric’s story was about his personal experience but the message was, we can improve and not about him. I know time is valuable. Listening to Eric’s message was a worthwhile investment and I recommend him as a speaker without hesitation.”
