Eric T. Strauss

United States

Executive coach. Former COO Mindvalley, helped them scale 2x in 4 years. I do workshops and also individually coach CEOs/executives, and help them achieve whatever they are after in their organization and business unit — clarity, alignment, accountability, team cohesiveness, no more fighting fires, org structure, communication, core values, organizational goal-setting or OKRs, Rockefeller Habits, standard operating procedures, customer & employee feedback. Any of these I have extensive experience in and can help you with.

I'm happy to take calls from anywhere in the world.

Executive Coaching Organizational Development Scalability Executive Management GTD

Call me to talk about

Manager/Leader Coaching & Mentorship

As COO of a 200-person company and team-builder for 14+ years, I know what it takes to be a great manager, and how to get the most out of leading your team. I coach people regularly on this, both new and experienced managers. Whatever problem you are facing, whether as a new manager or an experienced one facing a new challenge, I can help you get clarity and resolution.

Executive Coaching & Mentorship

Former COO of a 200-person organization, I do workshops on how to scale a company and overcome the common challenges companies face, and I help executives one-on-one as well tackle the challenges they are facing. It's not just coaching, but also mentoring, as I'll give you direct answers to how I would approach the situations you're facing. Common challenges I can help strongly with: clarity, alignment, accountability, results, cohesiveness, no more fighting fires, organizational structure, strategy, OKRs, SOPs, silos. After our calls you'll have clarity for sure on how to approach the problem you're facing or your path ahead. I also help new executives step fully into their new role with clarity on what it means to be an executive. I do workshops on all of the above and have been regularly rated among the best speakers or sessions. This is my bread and butter. :)

GTD (Productivity) Coaching

GTD Coaching: I help individuals implement the GTD methodology (Getting Things Done, by David Allen) to clear their mind, their life, and level up their productivity. GTD really transformed my life once I really "got" it, and so I'm helping others get on board with it as well, whether you have prior experience with it or not.

Clear Goal-Setting for Organizations

I can help you translate your strategy into effective execution for your team through effective goal-setting (eg OKRs) — the same methodology used by the big names like Google and Amazon. Deeper and way more effective than just SMART goals. I can show you HOW to do this, starting with your leadership team.

Help CEOs Create Systems and Habits to Scale Their Business

As a consultant and COO of a 200-person company, I can help you set up habits and systems in your business that can immediately free up your time and get your entire team aligned and more effective.

What would be the best job title for this role?

Figuring out questions like this is literally what I do — organizational design. I'm a former COO who implemented OKRs in a 200-person organization and helped shape high-level roles like this.

You could hire a COO for this, and it would be safer to start by hiring a "Head of Operations" (not C-level) and promote from there. What's needed from a COO is more than what you list here. And what you list here, yes, could be one role.

It sounds like there may be more questions around this, including how to shape this role and how to know if someone is a good fit for it, and what to look for.

If you want to go deeper, I imagine a 10 minute call where we go into some more detail would give you a lot of clarity, if this is something you're still considering.

Best of luck. :)

1 hour & I solved some key holes in our ops with Eric’s help. He has an incredible ability to ask the right questions that focus your mind on looking at issues from a different & far more enlightening perspective!

Had a really incredible call with Eric - extremely knowledgable when it comes to operations, company growth and scale. Took away insights that will be incredibly powerful for my own professional growth and the future growth of our company. Cannot recommend enough!

#gasp! Eric is one of those rare individuals who can effortlessly fuse creative insight and intuition with razor-edge intellect. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, today I booked a 30 minute session with Eric which seamlessly went on to 45 minutes and then 60 minutes (of course!) Special thanks to you, Eric for putting the spotlight on my beliefs, creative ideology and so much more. Look forward to continuing the dialog!

It was really amazing talking with Eric. He managed to unblock many issues I had for a couple of weeks now, and he is very interesting when it comes to exchanging about the key roles in a company. He has a great vision on all that and knows how to make it understandable, and more especially: inspiring. Thanks Eric! Looking forward to our next call.

Another incredible call with Eric. I'm going through a phase of growth as CEO of a newly funded start-up. After transitioning from an agency I found myself really lost and confused about what my role and responsibilities were and what the relationship with my COO should be. Eric helped walk me through understanding that and then helped hand-hold me through the process of creating organizational clarity and OKRs for my company. Mind blown 🤯 in how in such a short time - I've gained so much.

I found the call with Eric incredibly insightful. Given the time I had with him (only an hour), I felt like I was given a shortcut to success in my new role as COO. His wealth of knowledge on organizational health and human psychology will be something I will be tapping into again and again through Clarity.FM. I am a raving fan.

Eric was able to help me find clarity and focus on the call. I gained several key insights that are food for thought in reframing the way I thought about a few things. Look forward to the next call.

Great conversation and gave a solid plan to implement. Will definitely call again to discuss progression.

I was hoping for 1 insight from this call, but instead received a few. Eric over-delivered and helped me get to clarity within the context of my personal journey. Looking forward to our next chat.
