The Executive Mindset

​Succeeding as an executive does not mean doing more of what previously made you successful in your career. It requires a completely different mindset. 

​In this discussion, Eric Nehrlich will share how successful executives think differently to have greater impact and scale themselves as leaders, based on his experience working with top Google executives as the Search Ads Chief of Staff, and in coaching dozens of executives to greater impact.

​Eric Nehrlich is an executive coach who helps leaders have more impact by drawing on his 25 years of experience in the tech industry. He loves to identify and challenge mindsets and habits that hold people back from their next level of leadership. Before becoming a coach, Eric spent ten years as an engineer and product manager across several startups before joining Google, eventually leading business strategy and operations for the Google Search Ads team for six years as Chief of Staff. He published his first book in 2023, You Have A Choice: Beyond Hard Work to Meaningful Impact, which he wrote to share the principles and mindsets that have helped him and his clients with a wider audience.
