Erick Rheam

Erick Rheam is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and workshop facilitator who helps overwhelmed professionals rise above the chaos, master human dynamics, communicate with impact, and build lives and careers of significance. A graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point and former U.S. Army Military Police officer and special investigator, Erick brings a unique perspective on leadership, human behavior, communication, and performing in high-pressure environments. He combines those experiences with decades of work alongside business leaders, utility professionals, associations, and emerging leaders to address a challenge facing nearly every organization: how do you perform at a high level without allowing the demands of work and life to overwhelm you? Erick is the author of the bestselling book Rise Above Chaos and creator of the Rise Above Chaos system. His keynotes and workshops explore human dynamics, nonverbal communication, personal effectiveness, leadership, purpose, and legacy through programs including Lead Without Speaking, Rise Above Chaos, The World Belongs to the Encourager, and The 21st Mile. Erick’s approach is practical, highly engaging, and built for application. Audiences don’t simply leave motivated—they leave with frameworks and tools to better understand people, manage expectations, communicate with greater influence, regain control of their time and priorities, and intentionally pursue significance in their careers, families, and communities. He's known as an event planner favorite, because he's easy to work with, always delivers, and exceeds expectations.
