A little background on Eric Friesen…
This work is all about learning to lead from a place of freedom, helping teams and churches walk together with clarity. It has culminated from years of development and some focused hardship. In the end the desire became a service of personal discovery and growth, to help individuals and organizations. How can I help people learn to lead from a place of freedom? It all starts with a conversation.
I provide this service to help people and churches discover the value in their gifts and abilities. Resources are all personalized and events are scheduled with the individuals and groups in mind. Each workshop, speaking engagement, or meeting is a distinctive and authentic experience for everyone involved. The goal is to be enriched and encouraged to move forward regardless of what the main objective may be, or obstacles that might be in the way.
I developed my leadership and coaching skills over the past 25 years as a pastor, serving churches and the local community. While I grew up on a farm in southern Manitoba, I have lived in and around Winnipeg for most of my adult life, with a bit of time spent in Texas in between. Along the way I became a father and a grandfather, and somehow became someone who likes having guinea pigs in my home.
I am skilled in guiding people through various processes and systems allowing them to discover the next chapter in their life story. I have shown great aptitude in coaching and mentoring in a variety of age groups and backgrounds, developing coaching systems for organizations, and helping groups create a worthy sense of direction going forward. I am personable and a storyteller, I enter conversation as though I have nowhere else to be.
“My hope is that people gain a better understanding of themselves, learn to lead through freedom, and have a greater vision for how they impact the world around them.”
