Eric Gonzalez: Reflection Changes the Game

This week on Progress Always, I sit down with Army veteran and Exos Performance Coach, Eric Gonzalez. In this episode, we talk at great length about how one’s ability to lead effectively has a positive correlation with one’s personal development. Over the course of Eric’s journey in the military, including multiple deployments, and his choice to embark on a career in fitness and corporate wellness, one of the common threads is the fact that his opportunities are a direct result of the work he has put in on himself! Episode Highlights: 1. Choosing Fitness Over Law Enforcement

• Eric explains why he chose a career in fitness rather than becoming a cop like many infantrymen do, emphasizing the importance of following one’s passion.

2. Work Ethic and Aspirations of a First-Generation American

• He shares the unique work ethic and aspirations that come with being a first-generation American, highlighting the influence of his family background on his career.

3. Creating the Ideal Client Experience

• Eric discusses how to create an ideal client experience by assembling a supporting cast of subject matter experts, ensuring comprehensive and effective coaching.

4. The Birkman Assessment

• He describes how the Birkman Assessment was a game changer in his understanding of himself and others, improving his coaching and leadership abilities.

5. Universal Training Principles

• Eric emphasizes that whether you’re training professional athletes, weekend warriors, general population, or the sick and sedentary, the same principles apply, highlighting the universality of effective training methods.
