Listening That Wins with Eric Maddox

What if the key to stronger leadership, sharper decision-making, and deeper influence wasn’t what you say—but how you listen?

Join EO Boston for a rare, full-day experience with Eric Maddox, the U.S. Army interrogator whose empathy-based listening strategy led to the capture of Saddam Hussein and forever changed the way intelligence and influence are understood.

After conducting over 2,700 interrogations and earning honors including the Legion of Merit, National Intelligence Medal of Achievement, and Defense Intelligence Agency Director’s Award, Eric took his insights from the battlefield to the boardroom. Today, he teaches elite teams and business leaders worldwide how to use Empathy-Based Listening to build trust faster, influence authentically, and navigate conflict with precision.

This isn’t just another motivational talk - it’s a mindset shift. You’ll learn how to:

• Tune in to what people mean, not just what they say

• Decode resistance and uncover hidden motivations

• Build trust and alignment in the toughest conversations

• Lead teams that feel heard, understood, and ready to move forward
  

The day includes a 90-minute keynote, lunch, and an interactive 4-hour workshop that brings Eric’s lessons to life, helping you apply empathy-based listening in real business and leadership scenarios.

This isn’t theory. It’s the same framework used to earn trust, uncover truth, and drive action in the highest-stakes situations on earth. Step into this experience ready to sharpen your edge and leave as a more connected, influential leader.
