See what the meetings industry is saying about the EBLI:

“The leadership program that I did with Erick Burton was the first time in my career that I spent 3 full days with other trade show organizers, and related industry professionals. It was interesting for me to see the many different personalities that serve as the backbone of our industry, and Erick did a fantastic job with the class. Erick Burton, was able to speak to each individual directly, and as a whole to make us better performers.”

“Having Erick as my instructor, and after attending his leadership program, many doors have opened for me. Erick’s teaching style is very powerful, engaging, non-intimidating, and very motivating. Erick helped me learn and uncover my leadership abilities that I thought I did not have. Since the class, I have taken on leadership positions in industry associations and met very talented people and have expanded my professional networks even more. I can honestly say that attending his leadership program, Erick profoundly changed my life, both personally and professionally.“

“My class experience with Erick was a very compelling and motivating one for me. As a result of the class content, coupled with motivation and support from my peers and Erick, I am currently halfway through my CEM training, on track to obtain it in Spring 2013. I also formed some great relationships with my fellow classmates, who I still call on today. I believe I am a better representative of my company as a result of some of the things I experienced with Erick as a coach.”

“Leadership training with Erick Burton was beyond my expectation as I wasn’t sure how, or even if, I was going to benefit from this time away from the office. However afterwards, I’d wished I’d attended earlier in my career! Erick entertainingly ingrains tools and techniques which help you lead effectively and achieve with focus. His course is the one I’d take time out every year to attend – it’s a must for anyone wanting to achieve in their life (personally or professionally).”
