Eric Jorgensen is a former US Air Force colonel and fighter pilot, who is now a leadership coach certified by the International Coaching Federation. Eric “flies” alongside executives and other leaders who are committed to improving their performance as “flight leads” in their organizations and communities. Here’s the backstory: In the US Air Force, a “flight” of aircraft is two or more aircraft intentionally operating in close proximity to one another, under the leadership of a “flight lead.” That close proximity starts for the aviators involved while they’re planning and briefing the mission, and it only finishes after they spend sometimes more time debriefing the mission than they did actually flying it.

In a flight of two, the pilot or crew in the second jet is the “wingman,” who is there to support the flight lead in the first jet through every phase of the mission. If you want to be a better leader, Eric is prepared to be your “wingman” on that journey. Eric has been a flight lead himself, in a variety of challenging positions of significant responsibility, in the air and on the ground; and he is trained as a wingman to both International Coaching Federation and US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle standards, a powerful combination. He is also certified to facilitate multiple assessments, including the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator; The Leadership Circle 360°; and TetraMap.
