At the heart of Erik's work is a core belief: leaders are limited by their inner development—and so are their teams and organisations. The most powerful lever for change is helping leaders understand themselves better. When leaders raise their awareness, they raise their impact. When they recalibrate, everything around them can shift.

A best-selling author, Erik has written two books—with two more launching in 2025—and contributed to six others. His leadership manuals are practical blueprints for leaders who refuse to rely on outdated maps in new territory. Armed with a Master’s degree in Executive Coaching, he breaks down how leaders evolve—not by clinging to expertise, but by staying sharp, flexible, and dangerous.

He is also the co-host of The Expansive, an award-winning podcast with 9,000+ minutes of recorded conversations that have reached listeners in over 60 countries. The podcast was named Best Career and Entrepreneurship Podcast of 2023 and won Podcast of the Year in 2024, making it a trusted source for leaders who think beyond the obvious.

Erik also writes the Modern Leader newsletter that is subscribed to by 9,000+ leaders.
