Win At Work with High Performance Career and Leadership Coach Eric Woodard: Ultimate Guide - Career Success and a Full Life
THAT LITTLE VOICE
Do you hear it? It's that quiet voice inside.
It's a voice of action, courage, love, and service. It's saying, "you are meant for more than this."
Not everyone has the courage to listen to this voice and you do. It's the reason you're thinking about getting a coach.
Smart #$%@#$% move.
The opportunity to unleash limitless power to help a world in need is available to all of us and it's available to you. Except, well...the thing is...we all tell ourselves these stories - stories that hold us back.
I do. You do. We all do. Unraveling these stories on our own is DAMN. NEAR. IMPOSSIBLE.
AND HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT ALONE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE.
For the last 25+ years I've helped all sorts of people break through barriers in work and life around presidents and princes, senators and scientists, deans and diplomats, titans of industry and tech, consultants and CEOs.

THIS IS ABOUT YOU
I've written a bunch of books, received a bunch of awards, earned a bunch of degrees, can put a bunch of letters after my name, and hold a bunch of fancy certifications that are all just super amazing and impressive and wonderful.
And you really don't care about any of that.
Because the question you really care about is: can I help you?
Maybe. Probably.
I never assume I'm the right coach for anybody before I hear about their unique situation, so I don't know if I can help you yet.
Let's find out.
Schedule a complimentary, confidential call. No strings attached; zoom, plan for an hour. Let's explore what's possible for you.

BE BOLD,
BE BRAVE -
YOU ARE MEANT FOR MORE
This is the point where that little voice of courage can get drowned out by other, louder voices that say things like:
“This is scary, just click away to one of the go-to places where I can kind of mindlessly scroll, feel safe, and keep getting the same results I've been getting.”
“This won’t work for me.”
“This would just be a waste of time.”
“I should be able to do this on my own."
“This guy is just out to sell me something"
“I can't afford this."
“This guy only works with VIPs; this isn't meant for me."I can't afford this."
BE BRAVE, BE BOLD, AND KEEP LISTENING TO THAT FIRST
LITTLE VOICE SAYING, "YOU ARE MEANT FOR MORE."
YOU WERE CALLED HERE FOR A REASON, AND YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE MIRACLES IN YOUR WORK AND LIFE—FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
BE BRAVE, BE BOLD, AND KEEP

VOICE SAYING, "YOU ARE MEANT FOR MORE."

You're tired of being stuck. You're ready for different results.

More About Eric Woodard and Win At Work
Eric Woodard’s coaching and programs transform people stuck in their career who want to make great impact in their work and life. Eric has created impactful programs and resources specifically designed to foster productivity and work-life balance. The practical advice gives you answers. Real answers. Not feel-good fluff. Strategies that work in today’s brutal job market. His program offers profound insights into achieving work-life balance and personal fulfillment, resonating deeply with those seeking meaningful change.
You’re tired of hustle culture. You want productivity that doesn’t cost you your soul. You want joy in your daily grind. Eric Woodard’s coaching is your roadmap. Rest is the foundation of meaningful, productive work, and Eric’s methods ensure you prioritize it to achieve sustainable success. You can create a work strategy that supports a full life. You really can win at work and succeed at life. The question is: will you?
Building Strong Relationships for Success
Building strong relationships? That’s where the magic happens. You want to succeed at work while actually having a life worth living? Stop chasing some fantasy where you sacrifice everything for success. That’s old school nonsense. The quality of your relationships determines everything. Not your resume. Not your title. Your connections. Period.
The “eat sleep work repeat” cycle is garbage. Pure garbage. High achievers figured this out already. They control their schedules instead of letting schedules control them. They make space for rest. For self-care. For the people who matter. You prioritize your personal life, and guess what happens? Your productivity explodes. Your whole outlook shifts. Setting boundaries for work time leads to increased focus and efficiency. By creating clear boundaries, you can ensure that your work time is productive and your personal time is fulfilling.
Being present matters. Set boundaries that stick. Focus on quality time, not just time. Create moments that matter. You’re busy. We get it. But you let those personal relationships slide? You’re shooting yourself in the foot. The hustle culture crowd will tell you to grind 24/7. They’re wrong. Dead wrong. Breaks matter. Self-care matters. The relationships that anchor you? They matter most.
Here’s what one associate professor figured out - balance isn’t some mystical concept. It’s about being mindful. Balancing your professional responsibilities with your personal lives is essential for long-term success and well-being. Your professional life impacts your personal life. Your personal life impacts your professional life. Ignore this connection and you’ll crash.
Following key principles like setting boundaries, prioritizing rest, and focusing on what matters gives you a plan for intentional living that actually works. Setting SMART goals ensures alignment with company objectives and provides a clear way to track success, further supporting this balance. Continuously learning new skills is essential to stay competitive in the workforce, a principle Eric integrates into his coaching philosophy. This commitment to growth ensures that professionals remain adaptable and prepared for evolving challenges.
The Power of Presence and Networking
Getting hired fast isn’t just about speed. It’s about building strong relationships quickly. Show up. Be present. Be engaged. Eric Woodard said it best - learn how to give love and let it come in. That’s not soft talk. That’s survival. Social media has everyone’s attention scattered. Face-to-face interactions? That’s where the real magic happens. Make time for people who enrich your life. They’ll enrich your career too. Building effective relationships through networking provides insights and mentorship opportunities, which are invaluable in both personal and professional growth. Networking effectively is emphasized as a crucial strategy in the job search process, helping individuals connect with opportunities and build trust within their industry.
Strong relationships create the foundation for everything else. Public service isn’t just about giving back - it’s about nurturing connections that make life meaningful. You lead with love, focus on what matters, take care of yourself and your people? You create purpose that goes way beyond any paycheck. Way beyond any promotion. That’s where real power lives.
The path to career success is not about climbing ladders alone. It’s about building a life rich in relationships, love, and meaning. These principles work. They create balance. They create intention. They help you win at work and win at everything else that actually matters. Stop making it complicated. Start making it real.

Understanding Work Life Balance
Work life balance isn't some feel-good buzzword you throw around at networking events. It's survival. It's the difference between building something that lasts and burning out at 40 wondering where your life went. Here's what it actually means: You set boundaries that stick. You make choices that hurt in the moment but save you years of regret. You refuse to let your job swallow your soul. I've seen too many people work themselves into the ground, thinking they're winning. They're not winning. They're dying slowly. Real work life balance means your career feeds your life, not the other way around. No exceptions.
Principles for Success
Work life balance isn't about luck. That's garbage. It's about doing what works. Period.
You want what matters most? Self-care that actually works. Relationships that don't crumble under pressure. Professional results that don't require selling your soul. These aren't wishes. They're outcomes. Predictable ones.
Eric Woodard gets it. He's seen the wreckage. High achievers who burned out. Families that fell apart. Careers that imploded. You know what he learned? These principles are your roadmap. Not suggestions. Your roadmap.
Here's the truth nobody wants to tell you: you can focus on your well-being AND nurture your most important relationships AND deliver results at work. All without burning out. But only if you stop making excuses and start following a system that works.
You integrate these principles into your daily routine or you don't. You create a clear plan for success that honors your values or you keep spinning your wheels. You support both your career and your personal life or you watch one destroy the other.
High achievers know something you might be missing: when you focus on what matters, you win. At work. In life. Everywhere that counts. The question isn't whether
this works. The question is whether you'll do it.
Productive Work Habits
Building productive work habits isn't some polished corporate strategy. It's your lifeline. The difference between drowning in chaos and actually having a life worth living. It's not about grinding harder—that's what amateurs do. It's about cutting through the noise. You need to be fully present like your life depends on it. Whether you're wrestling with that project that won't quit or sitting at dinner with your family, you're either there or you're not. Half-presence is a lie you tell yourself. Kill the distractions. They're bleeding you dry. Priority isn't plural—figure out what matters most and attack it. Your to-do lists and digital calendars? They're not optional. They're the scaffolding that keeps your world from collapsing. Using a system like the Eisenhower Matrix helps prioritize tasks by urgency and importance, ensuring you focus on what truly matters. Setting boundaries for work time leads to increased focus and efficiency.
Here's what nobody tells you about productive work: your body isn't separate from your brain. Skip sleep, eat garbage, sit like a statue for twelve hours—and wonder why you feel like death. Your energy isn't infinite. It's fuel. And most people are running on fumes, pretending they're fine. Take breaks. Not because some productivity guru said so, but because burnout isn't a badge of honor. It's stupidity. Move your body. Feed it real food. Protect your mental space like it's the last thing you've got. Because when you're intentional about these habits—really intentional, not just talking about it—you create breathing room. Space for your career to actually grow. Space for your personal life to exist instead of getting buried under an avalanche of should-dos and never-dids.
Overcoming Challenges
Every career hits a wall. Usually more than one. Eric Woodard's been there — staring at rejection emails at 2 AM, wondering if he's kidding himself. Today's job market? It's brutal. It doesn't care about your feelings or your five-year plan. The ones who make it aren't the smartest or the luckiest. They're the ones who bend without breaking. Who learn to pivot when the ground shifts beneath them. When everything goes sideways - and it will - stop asking "why me?" Start asking "what now?" Your mentors, your colleagues, even your spouse - they're not mind readers. Ask for help. Swallow your pride. It's cheaper than failure.
Here's what nobody tells you about tough times: pushing through isn't heroic if you're running on empty. Your brain needs fuel. Your body needs rest. Skip the self-care, and you'll burn out before you break through. That's not resilience — that's stupidity. Every setback teaches you something. Every "no" gets you closer to "yes." But only if you're still standing when it arrives. The right mindset isn't positive thinking. It's honest thinking. Accept that it's hard. Accept that it hurts. Then do the work anyway.
Embracing Change and Uncertainty
"Eat sleep work repeat" will kill you. Slowly. I've watched it happen. People grinding themselves into dust, thinking that's what success looks like. It isn't. The people who make it? They don't cling to old ways. They don't hide from new ideas. They take risks that scare them. That's what separates the ones who thrive from the ones who just survive.
You want to handle uncertainty? Stop running from it. Right now. This moment. That's all you have. I've seen people lose their minds trying to control what they can't control. Mindfulness isn't meditation retreats and yoga mats. It's staying present when everything's falling apart. Your support network—colleagues, friends, family—they're your lifeline. Use them. Juliet came to Eric Woodard's program broken. Scared. She had tools but no system. No support. When she finally stopped fighting the unknown and started embracing it, everything changed. That's when growth happens. When you stop pretending you have it all figured out and start moving forward anyway.
Staying Focused and Motivated
"Grinding yourself into dust isn't hustle. It's stupidity. You think the eat-sleep-work-repeat cycle makes you tough? It makes you dead inside. Walking zombie with a LinkedIn profile. Hustle culture sold you a lie. High achievers? They know the truth. Real success comes from playing smart, not playing dead. Eric Woodard's approach isn't just recommended—it's survival. You want to win at work and still recognize yourself in the mirror? Listen up.
Here's what they won't tell you: rest isn't lazy. It's strategic. Your career depends on it like oxygen depends on breathing. Build a schedule that protects your time or watch it bleed out everywhere. Set boundaries that bite back. Make space for what charges your battery. When you focus on your well-being, you don't just survive—you dominate. This isn't about choosing sides. It's about refusing to play a rigged game. The opportunity: stop believing the lie that ambition costs happiness. You can have both. But only if you're willing to do the work that actually matters.
