TESTIMONIALS
At Perfect Balance, we are dedicated to transforming our participants into highly proficient leaders capable of maximizing multiple objectives. Guiding leaders to do the best work of their lives is not only our mission but our passion.
Eric and I worked together on a major transformation initiative involving thousands of front-line employees and hundreds of leaders. Eric’s ability to unlock the potential of these leaders and their teams through a focused yet balanced cultural and performance evolution was world-class. Now Eric’s mission to take his proven approach to optimize leadership development through Find Perfect Balance will undoubtedly benefit countless leaders and organizations.
Eric is a world-class leader; customer centric, professional, inspirational and results driven.
He prioritizes building high performing, diverse & engaged teams and masterful at communicating and delivering on a compelling vision and plan.
I had the opportunity to work closely with Eric and see, firsthand, how he helped drive a culture of high performance and engagement across a diverse, complex set of teams. He sees the desired end-state of opportunity, and knows how to coach leaders to push and pull levers in the right direction to get there. Organizational success requires strong decision-making; but it can’t include making the wrong trade-offs. Eric understands this, and helps leaders weigh them — on the right scale — for maximum impact.
I have been working at Rogers Communications under the leadership of Denice for the last 3 years. While working at Rogers I have had the privilege of having Denice as my Department Director. Denice always has an “Open Door Approach” and this makes working on her team a pleasure. Denise is always approachable and encourages her team to always be at their best by providing constructive feedback. Any organization would be very lucky to have Denice on their team.
I had the great privilege of working closely with Eric on Rogers’ Executive team. Not only is Eric extremely smart and insightful but his leadership skills are second to none. He was able to command huge amounts of respect from his teams across the country, in part, by being a leader who inspired and led by example. Eric is a culture builder. His team would run through walls for them because day in and day out he was their biggest cheerleader and advocate. Eric talks the talk and walks the walk. He can be tough when need be but is also a vulnerable leader who is very comfortable in his own skin. I’d work with him again in a heart beat.
If you are lucky in your career you get to work for a leader like Eric Agius. I had the opportunity of working on Eric’s team for 4 years. I was part of a dynamic, diverse and high performing group of leaders that Eric brought together to lead a team of 4000+ known as, “CareNation”. CareNation was not just a name- it was a movement that resulted in a culture shift- a change of mindset, one that always put our customers and our frontline first.
It transformed how we worked, how we partnered and how we delivered. Eric connected with all levels, and because of that connection, our frontline specialists, the key to our success, trusted him, followed him and executed for him, because they believed in his vision. They believed that if we worked together we could deliver the best service in Canada. And it happened. All results progressed positively and most importantly our customer satisfaction scores increased and our employee engagement improved year over year and achieved best in class! That was down to Eric’s ability to translate a vision into plans, action and execution.
As my direct leader, Eric gave me support I needed to grow and build my confidence as a leader, and the space and trust to make mistakes and learn. Eric helped me figure out who I was as a leader and supported me as a built my brand while helping me find the best way to let others know what I could bring to the team and organization . His guidance and sponsorship helped me establish myself as a key leader in Operations which resulted in me getting promoted to the next level as VP. Eric was the best leader I have worked with and for. His balanced approach to people and the business needs is exactly what is needed to deliver results. His ability to influence positive change, communicate goals, have long term vision and get people excited about what is possible with a solid plan behind it, is the formula for success.
I am a smarter and more-well rounded leader that now has confidence. I am a leader that challenges myself to think further, broader and deeper to deliver sustainable and impactful results. I am a strong woman leader who influences and inspires new and upcoming women leaders. I am a more connected leader who listens better to the people around me and I am more aware of the influence I have over change. I reflect daily on my values and the action I am taking to ensure I am not sacrificing who I am as I work to bring the best in myself and others. I have Eric to thank for that. I know I did the work and I have stepped up, but Eric’s investment in me as a mentor, then sponsor, changed the course of my career. I am forever grateful for that. Eric is a transformational leader, who sees the possible and makes it happen! He is someone I would be honoured to change the world with once again!
Eric is a superb executive and leader. He is driven to deliver, has extraordinary people skills and an incredible work ethic. He understands how to drive large scale change and is a gifted developer of both people, teams and culture. Was one of the best leaders I have worked with!
Eric is one of the most innovative and strategic people that I have ever work with. He has a proven track record of taking on key leadership roles and making each one a success. Along the way he has mentored countless individuals and left every organization that he has been involved with a much better place than when he arrived.
Authentic Leadership underscored with above the class raw skill and sense making. Eric brings to a business and each relationship an executive functioning based on high ethics and principle’s that guide people to do the “right thing, right!”. My time and experience with Eric where life and career changing. The mentorship, trusted relations and today, embossed mindset for life are indelible in me. For me and many others, his presence and authentic self are measures most aspire but can not reach.
It is with great enthusiasm that I provide this recommendation for Find Perfect Balance. Our overall experience with them was nothing short of exceptional, having the desired impact on our senior leadership team in ways above our expectations. From the outset, Eric and Denice with FPB demonstrated a deep understanding of our organization’s unique opportunities and aspirations. They tailored their program meticulously, ensuring it aligned perfectly with our strategic objectives and the developmental needs of our firm. Their approach was not just about imparting knowledge but fostering an inclusive approach to drive optimal outcomes. Through engaging workshops, insightful coaching sessions, and innovative experiential activities, they instilled in our leaders the ideal set of leadership behaviours. One of the most impressive aspects of working with FPB was their unwavering commitment to personalized attention. They took the time to truly understand each leader’s strengths and aspirations, which yielded tangible results.
The expertise and professionalism demonstrated by Eric and Denice at Find Perfect Balance was truly commendable. Their passion for developing effective leaders is evident in every interaction, making the journey both enriching and enjoyable. I wholeheartedly endorse FBP to any organization seeking to unlock the full potential of their senior leadership team. Their transformative approach, coupled with their dedication to client success, sets them apart as a premier partner in leadership development.
I have had the opportunity to work with, and for, both Denice and Eric at various times in my career. Both are individuals that I have learned some key foundational leadership lessons from. I can attest to their passion for both employees and customers. The clarity they provided to me and my teams to connect our day-to-day actions to our overall vision, helped us understand the strategy and deliver exceptional results.
I am proud to say that the lessons I learned from them helped me to advance in my career, and I continue to transfer that knowledge to my leaders to help them develop to their full potential.
