BUAG - Be Uncomfortable And Grow

The confidence framework that works anywhere, every time.

Do the thing. The confidence follows.

Most people wait for confidence before they act. BUAG flips that entirely.

From launching a globally ranked podcast while battling imposter syndrome, to hitchhiking in over 700 vehicles and coaching hundreds of professionals through career pivots and keynote stages – Eddie unpacks why confidence is built through action, not before it.

One mechanism. Applicable that day. To any goal they've been sitting on.

Audience walks away with:

–A concrete process for taking action before they feel ready
–The BUAG framework applied to their own stuck goal
–Tools to build confidence through action, not preparation

Stop Living on Autopilot

A practical system for designing a life – and a career – you actually want.

You can be successful but feel unfulfilled for a very long time. This keynote is for people who've started to notice.

A pay rise. A busy month. Another goal achieved.

A life that looks great from the outside but you know something doesn't feel right.

Eddie built that life, hated it, and redesigned it from the ground up.

In this keynote he shares the practical life design system he used – and has since used with lawyers, executives, business owners and public sector leaders across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific.

Audience walks away with:

–A life audit framework they can run immediately
–The Minimum Lifestyle Costs concept and how to apply it
–The 3-Question Filter for better, faster decisions

Learn Fast - The IdeaAction System

Stop overthinking. Start moving. Build momentum that compounds.

Overthinking is your ceiling. IdeaAction is how you break it.

Behind every stalled goal, delayed decision or frustration at the lack of progress is the same culprit – overthinking.

IdeaAction is the practical application of two proven frameworks: Learn Fast and BUAG.

Built on a single insight – there is no space between the idea and the action.

It leaves no room for self-doubt, overthinking or procrastination.

Overthinking will always be there. The goal is to turn the volume down on it.

Audience walks away with:

–The IdeaAction framework and how to implement it immediately
–A 5-step process for breaking analysis paralysis and building momentum
–Tools for building a culture of action over perfection
