To Whom It May Concern,

I’m writing this letter to express my appreciation for Eric Anderton and the “Shift” leadership course that my team at Caliagua, Inc. and I recently completed. The course, conducted over five sessions via Zoom, was an incredible experience that provided both immediate and long-term value for our company.

The biggest obstacle we faced to doing the training was getting everyone on board. While I can insist on leadership training, I wanted my team to voluntarily see the value and commit to the program. Additionally, there was the consideration of pricing—how do you put a price on leadership development and making the right decisions? After reflecting on how the course could benefit both our profitability and our team’s growth, we moved forward with full buy-in from everyone. The feedback during and after the course was overwhelmingly positive.

Throughout the sessions, Eric’s practical approach and relatable examples made the lessons easy to follow and apply. His coaching style was effective and engaging, and he has an excellent ability to ask thoughtful questions that led us to discover our own solutions, which has been powerful for my team. The focus was on personal leadership development rather than just construction methodology, which made it applicable across various roles in our company.

One of the standout features of the course was Eric’s ability to connect with people. His communication style and people skills made it easy for everyone to engage and feel comfortable discussing the challenges they face. Eric’s experience working with contractors, made his insights incredibly relevant, and his leadership principles easily extended beyond just construction management.

I’ve noticed many of my team members are already incorporating time management and leadership skills into their roles. We’re already seeing improvements in the way our project managers and engineers approach their work, and I believe the long-term benefits of this course will only continue to grow.

I’ve been following Eric on LinkedIn and his podcast for a while, and that consistency was one of the reasons I chose to invest in this leadership course. His content is powerful and has become a valuable resource for me and my company.

I highly recommend Eric Anderton’s services to any construction leader. His program goes beyond just job-related tasks; it’s about leading people, solving problems, and improving the overall leadership culture of your company.
