About EKCOSYSTEM
Eric Kohner came to leadership development through an unusual door. Before he was an executive coach and facilitator, he was an actor. Theater taught him something that has shaped more than 30 years of work with leaders around the world: you are the instrument. People experience who you are long before they evaluate what you know.
At ekcoSYSTEM, we don't just talk about leadership — we create experiences that let people practice it. Through executive coaching, experiential workshops, leadership development programs, and custom solutions, Eric and our global network of coaches and facilitators help leaders expand their range, challenge familiar patterns, and bring more of themselves to how they lead.
From large-scale organizational programs and custom leadership experiences to 1:1 coaching and coach training, our work is designed around the people and challenges in the room — because leadership isn't something you learn from the sidelines. It's something you practice.
— Brian Monthie, Agile Coach
“Eric is a masterful connector.”
He not only connects with others, but he is able to connect others to themselves. This is a really strong and important quality not only in his line of work, but just in terms of being human.
