The Change Agent Podcast
The Change Agent, hosted by Eric, is a practical leadership and project management podcast for people who lead in the real world—not textbooks. Each episode explores the challenges of building, coaching, and sustaining high-performing teams across both in-person and remote environments.
Through thoughtful conversations and grounded insights, the show tackles motivation, collaboration, and the realities of modern management. You’ll hear honest discussions on what works, what fails, and how empathetic, disciplined leadership drives results—especially under pressure.
Whether you’re an experienced project manager, a people leader, or stepping into leadership for the first time, The Change Agent delivers actionable ideas you can apply immediately. If you believe leadership is about people first—and results that last—subscribe and start leading with purpose.
