Welcome to the Authentic Dad Podcast! I'm David Waranch and I coach and support fathers on having a greater impact in the world, living on their own terms, and flourishing in their relationships.
Today, I'm joined by Eric Woodard. Eric is a high performance career coach interested in helping professionals at all levels win at work.
Part of the reason Eric is so interested in career success is because he struggled so much early in his own career. After plowing through the working world for decades, he now loves passing on the secrets of winning at work he wish he'd known at the beginning of his career.
Beyond advising numerous students, schools, employers, and professionals at all levels about career success, he has created and directed internship and other career programs at the White House, on Capitol Hill, at the U.S. State Department, and the Smithsonian Institution.
Eric is the author of multiple books about crossing the bridge between school and work, including Your Last Day of School, and The Ultimate Guide to Internships.
He holds a B.A. in Biology from the University of Missouri, and both an M.A. in International Affairs and an Ed.D. in Human and Organizational Learning from George Washington University where he researched the nature of internships that develop intern soft skills.
Eric holds a certificate in Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance from American University and is recognized as a Certified High Performance Coach by the High Performance Institute.
Eric lives in Alexandria, VA with his amazing wife Keri and their 4 fantastic kids.

If you're a dad who needs support in your relationships and are looking to make a greater impact in the world, I would love to hear from you.
