Eric Bailey

Why Eric Bailey is the Speaker Your Organization Needs

When CEOs and decision-makers seek the right speaker, the questions they ask reveal their priorities. How will this speaker’s message directly address our challenges? Can they deliver actionable outcomes that leave a lasting impact? Will their story inspire and motivate a team ready to achieve more but in need of the spark to ignite their potential?

These are not small questions—they’re the foundation of a great partnership between a speaker and their audience. Eric Bailey doesn’t just answer these questions; he exceeds expectations.

A Journey Like No Other
Eric’s story is unlike any other. From humble beginnings on the streets of Los Angeles, he faced challenges that tested his resilience and grit. He didn’t just survive—he thrived, becoming a pioneer in the National Basketball League (NBL) in Australia and playing for iconic teams like the Hobart Tassie Devils, Melbourne Tigers, and Gold Coast Rollers. But what makes Eric truly remarkable isn’t just his success on the court—it’s the journey he took afterward, transforming that competitive mindset into a global legacy of leadership and impact.

Today, Eric is not just one of the world’s top 25 motivational speakers—he’s a proven leader and a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP). This prestigious distinction, held by less than 10% of speakers worldwide, reflects Eric’s unparalleled skill, experience, and commitment to excellence in the speaking industry.

A Leader Who Lives His Message
As the CEO of The NLR Group, Eric oversees four thriving companies—Agile Equipment, Corestone Training, IECL, and NLR—managing over 100 employees and driving these businesses toward $30 million in annual revenue. Eric doesn’t just talk about leadership, resilience, and growth; he lives it every day. His ability to bridge the gap between motivational inspiration and real-world application sets him apart. His insights are drawn from experience, not theory, and that authenticity makes his message resonate deeply with any audience.

An Unforgettable Presence
When Eric steps onto the stage standing at 6 foot 6 inches tall, he brings more than just inspiration—he brings a roadmap for action. He understands the challenges leaders face because he’s been in their shoes, building teams, driving performance, and fostering cultures of accountability and excellence. Whether your organization is striving for resilience, seeking a fresh perspective on leadership, or needing tools to boost collaboration, Eric’s message is tailored to your unique needs.

Having spoken to over 4 million people across 13 countries, Eric has worked with some of the world’s most recognized organizations, including Microsoft, McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble, Qantas, the Australian Government, and the RE/MAX. His presence on stage is electrifying, his storytelling is authentic, and his strategies are immediately actionable. Audiences leave his sessions not just inspired but equipped to tackle their challenges with confidence and clarity.

Why Eric Bailey Stands Out
Eric’s journey from the streets of Los Angeles to the heights of global success is a testament to resilience and possibility. He proves that where you start doesn’t define where you can go. Every organization faces moments when they need to refocus, reimagine, and reignite their purpose. Eric Bailey is the speaker who makes that transformation happen.
