Inspiring leaders to achieve their vision and, in turn, building environments that bring the best out of their employees is largely intuitive for Shawn Fair, which he describes as “bringing value to the society.” Over the years, he has touched the lives of over a million leaders through his leadership speeches, training, and programs. Today, he is making a difference in people’s lives as an international leadership expert, speaker, coach, trainer, and founder of the Leadership Experience Tour.
Shawn is usually found traveling from one country to the next, delivering powerful messages on the effectiveness of servant leadership to leaders of all levels. He wanted to tap into the potential of every single person that is yet to be awakened. Now he’ s reaching out to more people through his Leadership Experience Tour. This event has since become a major speaking event where corporate leaders and entrepreneurs come to hear some of the top leadership and personal development speakers in the state.
Every year, Shawn personally handpicks the speakers he wanted to be part of his coaching program. He believed in potential, most of all, and wanted to give this opportunity to share the big stage with him to anyone who deserves it. After looking at so many deserving people from across the world, he chose to share the stage with Eric Lomax.
Eric has an incredible story to tell. His journey holds a message of strength and hope to those that are questioning their purpose in life. Eric wants to show the audience how he was able to navigate life’ s challenges and came out strong. Dealing with loss and grief can be hard on others, masking their pain with drugs and alcohol or worse, choosing to end their lives. For Eric, life is a series of ups and downs, and it’s choosing to keep going and overcoming the struggles that will lead you to your purpose.
Eric has his own share of struggles and loss being fired from jobs because of “poor performance” to being divorced twice. Despite his efforts to reconcile, he was forced to concede even though he wanted to work things out. However, nothing compared to the loss when his third wife died from cancer at the age of 32.
Finding love for the last time was, for him, impossible, but he did, and it was the best he has ever had. She became his soulmate. When she died, his whole world was destroyed. He lost the love of his life and everything else, including his home, finances, and credit. He was forced to start life all over again.
Shawn believes in Eric so much. He knew that he is the perfect person to speak to the masses that to gain, you must lose.
“His words will teach them to change their perspective,” Shawn shares. “Loss doesn’t break you; it makes you. Every struggle they face is moving them closer to their breakthrough, so I want them to persevere and not give up.” For Shawn, overcoming your struggles is only the first step to growth. There are a lot of things that you have to do, and it starts with change.
