About Eric
Many people feel empty and are searching for who they are and what they should do. They are searching for their value in life. Life is full of constant changes. Some of these changes are times of brokenness, barrenness, and wilderness experiences.
The world around us is changing so fast that we cannot keep up. We try to become something or someone we are not. Media sends the message that we are not being good enough. So, we constantly live trying to prove we are good enough.
"To grow yourself, you must know yourself"
--John Maxwell
My purpose is to serve people who believe they are "not good enough." I help people who are searching.
- Searching for Direction -- in the changes and transitions of life
- Searching for Wholeness -- in the brokenness of life
- Searching for Themselves --in the wilderness times of life
- Searching to Blossom -- in the barren times of life
My passion is to help you discover, uncover, or recover your significance.
From a faith-based perspective, Significance begins with whose you are.
Whose you are is who you are
Who you are is what you do
What you do is what you leave behind
So, start with the end in mind
Significance is more than just discovering your purpose. Your significance is about your past and present. It is your good and bad, your successes and your failures. Your significance rises up from you scars. Your significance is turning your scars in to shade for others. And it is from your scars and your significance that you serve other people.
My purpose and passion for Significance emerges from my own struggle to want to be "good enough." My own experiences of brokenness, wilderness, and barren times in my life. From these times in my own life and in my leadership and coaching others, I have found four seasons that people go through to create their Significance.
I facilitate discovering significance through interactive workshops, seminars, retreats, speaking, and private coaching. If you would like to begin discovering and shaping your significance, please reach out to me at eric@drericlake.com.
Creating Your Significance starts with knowing who you are --
including the good, the bad, and the scars.
