Why Eddie

Eddie’s facilitation skills are through the roof. We had Eddie present to our chapter on how to use facilitation and he was masterful in his craft. Our members learn new skills that will assist them in the careers. I highly endorse and applaud Eddie’s programming.

Eddie and I talked a few months ago when I was in a place of ambiguity in starting my journey as a coach. The talk we had really made an impression on me! He really inspired and empowered me to believe that all I needed was myself and what I already had. And that means so much. I am very excited for what I’ve got under my belt and what I can continue to accomplish with the reminder from Eddie that it doesn’t need to be “perfect” from day 1!

Eddie Turner is an “exceptional: speaker in every sense of the word. He is the speaker that you have in mind when you think of a keynote address. Polished, persuasive, and ultra-professional, he engages and informs with ease.
Eddie is easy and fun to work with. He was the keynote speaker at our first-ever ATDChicagoland virtual confrence and people are still talking about his performance. If you are looking for a speaker who can maximize the moment and make you look brilliant for hiring him, get Eddie Turner!
Highly recommended!
Hayward Suggs, President Association for Talent Development Chicagoland, 2020

Eddie customized an interactive presentation for ICF Arizona entitled “The Power of Branding for Coaches.” Thanks to his enthusiasm and example of practicing what he preaches, coaches learned nitty-gritty tips how to strategically manage their visibility. Eddie created space for coaches to personalize and integrate their learning on the spot. Every coach left with a commitment to up their game on visibility management that leads to a more profitable coaching business. — Connie Kadansky, ICF Arizona President

Thank you for your amazing presentation on emerging leaders! I’ve learned so much from your presentation! It was a pleasure and honor meeting you! You’re very Inspirational!

I have had the honor and privilege of receiving 1:1 leadership coaching from Eddie through Rice University’s Doerr Institute for New Leaders. Our time together has made a huge difference in my understanding of my unique strengths, my recognition of my biggest potential derailers, and my active efforts to lean into the former while improving the latter. The classic idiom of “giving a man to fish” vs. “teaching a man to fish” comes to mind – Eddie has been a patient listener who takes the time to understand my challenges, but he never GIVES me the answers; rather, he always asks just the right questions that help me to find the answers for myself. By “teaching me to fish,” Eddie has helped me learn how to peel back the layers of each leadership challenge I face so that I can find the right course of action even when he’s not around. I am a better leader, both at school and at work, for having known Eddie, and I highly recommend him as a coach!

What an amazing experience to get to spend time discussing a client strategy with Eddie. He is creative, articulate and focused. Our conversation is opening new doors for a different approach to our work. Eddie, thank you for finding time to invest in supporting our mutual client. We are making a difference. Thanks for exemplifying leadership. We are so grateful.

You all should be jealous that I had the opportunity to be coached by Eddie before anyone else, while he was completing formal credentials; as a mutual courtesy; guaranteed that he can help you unlock new layers of introspection, performance, and value. -Forever thanks Eddie, you are a great man!!

Eddie Turner is a rare find in the consulting world. In addition to helping you focus on the things that lead to your goals, he is diligent in supporting those goals. Fortunately for eParamus, Eddie is great at connecting dots and goes beyond the engagement to drive impact in other areas. Without this insight we would not have been able to maximize many of our efforts.

Most important, it is a joy to work with Eddie. He has an infectious positive personality that I “borrowed” many times to support the task at hand. He helps me be my best, always follows through, and has my complete trust. I highly recommend Eddie and know you will be glad you got the opportunity to work with him!

Eddie Turner lights up every room he enters. He is one of one of those rare people who brings positive energy wherever he goes, and you feel better just by spending a few minutes with him.

I’ve come to know Eddie through our membership in the National Speakers Association. He is a man of high character: honest, accountable, caring, and humble. How many people can you say that about?

If you’re considering hiring Eddie as a leadership advisor, facilitator, or speaker, I have just one piece of advice: do it.

This morning I was playing the song, “This little light of mine/I’m gonna let it shine.” The first person who came to mind when I played it was Eddie Turner.

Top Notch! Confidence. Process. Creativity. So many things can describe the value in working with Eddie Turner. I had several coaching sessions with Eddie, and in every one of them I gleaned “pearls of wisdom”, making each session very worthwhile. Truly an invaluable resource for speaking, and presenting in a business and public setting. These are tools that will never expire in personal or business situations. Thank you Eddie!

I can hardly find proper words to describe Eddie’s capacity to transmit knowledge and information. His passion and professionalism is contagious He will lead you to main content of any matter in such a wonderful way that you will feel you’re in a conversation with a many year’s friend.

On my 16 years career I went thru many trainers, speakers and coaches but Eddie’s skills are definitively far away above the standard.

Eddie is the most charismatic and creative, speaker you may find His audience and presentation management skills are just amazing.

I can guarantee you can trust on Eddie to convey training and/or coaching of any subject independently of his complexity.

Eddie presented a very informative and engaging presentation on “facilitated collaboration” for our local ACMP Chapter. I really appreciated that he shared very useful information, not just “fluff” and I walked away with new tools I didn’t have before his presentation. I will look for opportunities to bring Eddie back to present to our group and can enthusiastically recommend him for other groups interested in an informative and engaging speaker.

If you want customized career coaching for where you are in your career to take you to the next level – look no further than Eddie Turner LLC. Over the past few months Eddie has given me great recommendations on how I can improve in communication and presence. He is flexible in accommodating to your schedule and gives suggestions tailored to your needs. I enjoyed working with Eddie and would highly recommend him to any working professional looking to take their career to the next level.

I had the pleasure of attending a session Moderated by Eddie at yesterday’s Houston Women’s Conference. Of the 3 sessions I attended, Eddie’s was by far the best. He brought the perfect level of energy to the session, encouraging the panelists while highlighting key points for attendees. Thoughtfully, he provided question cards for attendees, recognizing that not everyone is comfortable asking questions in large groups (Eddie was the only moderator to do so – I asked several attendees of other sessions to verify this).

I would happily work with Eddie, based on my experience yesterday.

Eddie is a valued client of TransPerfect and through coincidence I had the privilege of hearing him speak at my first ATD Conference. Being the last speaker of the day the audience is typically running low on gas, however I was completely brown away by his ability to engage the audience and capture our attention. His presentation was informative and extremely professional while maintaining a sense of casual conversation that we all could relate to. I would certainly look towards Eddie for any future speaking engagements that require a highly precise speaker with a great personality.

Eddie Turner conducted a dynamic virtual learning presentation at the 2015 ATD Houston Technology Expo. He demonstrated passion and a high degree of expertise on how virtual instructor led can be more impactful than classroom training. He used a great example when his company limited travel, but needed to get a keynote speaker to kick off a virtual conference. Eddie called it the “Big Get.”

If you are looking for excellent presenter that has a wonderful style of engaging an audience than Eddie Turner is your man! I certainly would recommend him to kick off or close any conference.

Not all webinars are the same and Eddie’s was one of that stood above the rest! Eddie incorporated practical Adobe Connect tips yet also presented instructional design go-tos including thoughts on being a Learning Experience Stager. Eddie gave a name to what I always share about learning…it is not just learning, it is creating an experience!

Eddie is a expert in utilizing technology for employee engagement and employee development. His willingness to share his methodology and tips on improving collaboration with other learning professions was our first connection. I attended his presentation on “Designing and Delivering Effective Virtual Classes and Virtual Meetings” at the Houston ATD Conference. After that even Eddie facilitated a virtual session of the training for my team at American Express. His level of enthusiasm and pure knowledge on the subject made our Development Day a success. I look forward to opportunities to partner with Eddie in the future.

Eddie has to be one of the best presenters I have ever seen! He had command of the room, was engaging, funny and very passionate. I’m glad I got the chance to be a part of it and look forward to seeing him present again.

I “discovered” Eddie Turner while recently attending the Fall 2014 Association for Talent Development (ATD) Houston conference. Eddie led a session in the Innovate track titled, “Designing and Delivering Effective Virtual Classes and Virtual Meetings.” It did not disappoint. Not only did I find the content and approaches Eddie shared innovative, but at the same time, very practical in the way we all could immediately take back new ideas to begin implementing. His high energy approach to presenting was well received by everyone in attendance and I continued to hear people buzzing about his presentation all day long. Through the information that he shared, as well as the real life examples he offered, it became very obvious that Eddie is a natural leader and someone we can all learn with. It is my sincere hope that I have the opportunity to attend more Eddie Turner presentations in the near future.

Eddie’s communication skills have been very helpful as an AdobeConnect meeting facilitator for global video conference meetings involving large groups of people that I hold periodically throughout the year.

Eddie Turner came in and hit the ground running. He has had an immediate and remarkable impact at FMC Technologies in a very short time.

He brought in new technologies and a new framework for meeting facilitation that has revolutionized the way meetings are run at our company.

Eddie’s interpersonal skills, coaching ability and leadership presence have served him well as he has penetrated every layer of management including senior leadership with his service offering he introduced. Eddie has unique skills across multiple disciplines and this has proven invaluable to our new corporate university.

He has also proved to be one of our best instructors receiving high marks for his engaging delivery style. I have the utmost confidence in Eddie. He delivers high quality work and collaborates extremely well with others. Eddie was one of my top performers.

Eddie and I worked on many projects together, we co-authored and delivered training sessions. Eddie always made the process enjoyable. He was prepared, dependable and articulate. More than that he is extremely professional and had the unique ability to deliver what could be dry dull material in an exciting dynamic manner. Eddie always got the full attention of everybody in the classroom (virtual or physical).

Mr. Turner brings a level of professionalism, poise, knowledge, and positive personality to every aspect of his job. Eddie has excelled in all tasks that he’s been given, and lends aid to other team members wherever he can. It’s been my pleasure to meet, mentor, and learn from Eddie. I look for Eddie to do well in any position or path that he is inclined to pursue.

Eddie was always one to stand out during the few communications and organizational behavior courses I took with him. Eddie is undoubtedly a leader, strong communicator and most definitely a team player. It was a pleasure learning from him and with him.

Eddie is a poise public speaker and always conducts himself in a professional manner. It was my pleasure to have studied with Eddie.

It is my pleasure to recommend Eddie Turner.

Eddie was my student in 2007 in a demanding Strategy Execution Class at Northwestern University. The class was a compressed three hour class for six Saturday mornings during the summer. About half of the classwork was required via a series of on-line projects and conversations with in-class groups.

Somehow, Eddie found a way to push himself, do the work, enjoy the material, and become a key player on his team project. He finds a way to have fun during tough times, and he inspires others to enjoy themselves and stay focused on the task.

He is respectful, smart, completely reliable, and one of those students that just finds a way to stay in touch and offer value to everyone he meets. He has a rare quality of seamlessly building and maintaining networks of senior professionals who want to work with him.

It is my pleasure to know Eddie, and I recommend him with complete confidence.

Eddie’s knowledge of technology applications helped our learning and development team to dramatically enhance its service delivery. He quickly learned our industry, got to know the people and the issues that we faced, and was incredibly proactive and solutions-oriented. He is fast, responsive and always cheerful – despite the limits of our budget and our systems. I recommend him highly.

Eddie Turner is eager to address any of his clients’ challenges related to technology, learning and knowledge management, and performance support. Eddie is proficient in staging learning experiences through a variety of delivery channels, and has become a trail blazer with the iPhone as a learning delivery platform. Eddie is a pleasure to work with every day, demonstrating a consistent “can do” atttitude, pride in his professionalism, and a high degree of likability!

Eddie is an excellent choice to provide desktop and network support as well as innovative learning design and content delivery solutions. His personality and people skills are a breath of fresh air in these functions. He actually eliminates the typical pain of requesting help and technical support and turns it into a joyful experience!

I had several classes with Eddie and found him to be extremely intelligent and a dynamic speaker. He had the ability to bring focus to the project at hand and move the group along until completion. Eddie was well liked among all of our peers.

Eddie was fantastic to work with. He was always extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. We miss him tremendously!

Eddie provided desk top IT support to my group when he was with General Electric. I worked with him for several years and had the opportunity to work with Eddie on many occasions. Eddie did an excellent job supporting my group and had a very positive reputation within my business segment. He had a tremendous sense of urgency in solving desk top issues and always displayed a very positive, optimistic attitude. His strong technical skills and willingness to get things done quickly coupled with his very charming personality made him an absolute pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Eddie for future opportunites based on my experience working with him.

I have known Eddie for 8 years – as a direct report and then as a Deskside Support Analyst for one of the largest sites in GE Commercial Finance. I have had the pleasure to work with Eddie on numerous projects from large integrations to technology refresh. Eddie is an invaluable resource to have with broad technical knowledge. His dedication to customer service is unparallel and relentless. While leading the Chicago site as the Deskside Support Analyst, Eddie consistently flared well ahead of any other site in customer satisfaction surveys, called Voice Of the Customer.

Eddie is an inclusive and external focused leader with exceptional customer centric focus and will do very well given the opportunity to work for any corporation.

I had the pleasure of working with Eddie over five + years at GE Capital. Eddie was always professional, courteous and efficient. He made it his business to stay up to speed on current issues in order to be able to solve any problems we brought this way in the most timely and productive manner possible.

One of the very few Customer Centric individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing in course of my professional career.

Eddie personifies what every Management Guru preaches, but rarely do many follow, which is keeping ones Customers delighted/Wow’ed.

Eddie would respond to any IT specific needs that I ever had promptly and would make sure that the each request was executed flawlessly. He would make sure by calling you up or coming over in person to check if the task had been indeed completed to satisfaction.

Additinally – Eddie was and is – one of the very few “impeccably dressed” individuals in the office environment that I have ever worked with. His demenaour and dress sense reflected in professionalism fully.

I wish Eddie the very best in his career and all his future endavours.

Eddie was an extremely knowledgable IT resource and always brought a positive attitude to work.

The single best IT professional I’ve worked with in my 13-year career. Went above and beyond to make sure any issue was fixed. Was always prompt, curtious, and professional. An absolute joy to have as a collegue.

Eddie is a great guy and a great worker. Very customer-service driven and very knowledgeable. I worked with him at GE Capital where he was well-respected and well-liked by everyone. He knows his craft well and strives to ensure that all of his customers are completely satisfied with his work. I highly recommend Eddie for your computer service needs.
