When Decisions Don't Come With Guarantees
Thinking Partnership, not Motivation
Helping high performers cut through uncertainty and move decisively when the stakes are real.
You’re not here to browse.
You’ve already built things that matter.
You’ve carried responsibility most people never touch.
But right now, you’re staring at a decision where:
guessing isn’t acceptable
delay is expensive
and getting it wrong actually matters
This isn’t about motivation.
It’s about seeing clearly enough to move.
That’s the work I do.
Eric’s Decision Architecture gives elite performers:
Unshakeable Clarity
Decisive Execution
Sustained Momentum
Eric Kottke
What this work actually looks like
Most decision support fails under pressure because it adds more input instead of improving judgment. This work is different.
We slow the moment down just enough to:
surface what actually matters
remove false urgency
test the decision against reality, not fear
There’s no motivation layer.
No performance coaching.
No borrowed certainty.
Just clear thinking when clarity is the constraint.
The goal isn’t confidence. It’s decisiveness that holds.

Eric brings wonderful energy and focus to his coaching. I had the sense he had studied the coaching process from coach to protege so carefully that he could see issues from both sides of our discussion. This ability built a sense of empathy, but also dynamic talks that led to real insights and gain on my part. It's clear that Eric is committed to success for his proteges and will work hard for them and with them to achieve their goals.

I reached out to Eric in a very uncertain time. I was more successful on paper than I could have ever imagined but I was burnt-out and stuck in the mud trying to find my next moves into new opportunities.
After working with Eric for 100 days, I’ve transformed my mindset, energy level, and my professional relationships as well as personal relationships all for the better. I can’t thank Eric enough for helping me become a significantly better version of myself.
Reminds me of a quote, “Hell is to meet the man I could have been.” Eric’s work is helping me avoid my personal hell. I will continue to work with him for the foreseeable future.

Working with Eric over the past 3 years has been nothing short of transformative.
He shows up every time—and his consistency and accountability pushed me further than I thought possible.
His performance coaching is world-class. He brings discipline, clarity, and contagious drive into every session. That alone helped me overhaul my sleep, energy, and execution.
If you’re struggling with self-discipline or want to operate at a higher level, Eric is the one to call.

Eric and I connected through a private community at a point of career transition. I had just left a General Partner role in finance and entered the strategic and cultural consulting space. He rapidly deployed and taught me tools and frameworks to generate clarity and momentum in key relationships. His ability to identify value and then clear my internal objections and conflicts was and is catalytic to progressing into the unknown of market entry for a new service. He knows his stuff and cuts through all the noise! Deeply valuable team player for critical moments in the entrepreneurial journey. . felt like stepping on the blue mushroom in mario go-kart!! "super boost" for clarity and action. Looking forward to some time in the back country with Eric and his family this soon. Hiking + nature + leadership development = my dream life.

Working with Eric was an absolute gift. He brought an energized curiosity and creativity that allowed me to think out of the box. He allowed me to break down a big scary question of, "what am I doing with my life?" into small, actionable steps so I could settle into the journey of discovering this. Thank you, Eric!

I have experienced many business coaches and Eric is one of the great ones. I have been very grateful for Erics guidance, determination, wisdom, his support and the way he challenged me to take my development of my business and ideas to the next level. I was able to get the clarity I needed for me to be successful. He is very effective and determined to serve his clients.
Ekatarina
I'm very happy to have Eric as my mentor and coach. He's helping me discover myself, being honest with me, and providing me with homework to continue my growth and become a better version of myself! With Eric, I've gotten more clarity on my thoughts, my wants vs. needs, and experiencing/feel more of the good things in my days. I would recommend Eric to anyone at this point.
