BOOK Erik Logan

Erik Logan Speaking Topics

  • Riding the Waves of Passion and Profession: An unforeseen journey through Discovery, Loss, and Rediscovery

    After four decades in the workforce and a late-in-life discovery of surfing, ERIK LOGAN thought he had found the ultimate blend of passion and profession when he joined the World Surf League. However, the experience eroded his love for the sport, making him realize that sometimes passion and work are better kept separate. He learned that while being passionate about your job is excellent, turning your true passion into your profession can risk losing the joy it initially brought you. After stepping away from the professional surf world, he’s rekindled his love for the ocean and is more mindful about protecting his passions as he ventures into his next chapter. It is an unusual and often unheard lesson and story that makes people think about this reunion of passion and profession.

  • Beyond the Degree: Life’s Unexpected Teaching on Success and Leadership

    Raised in Oklahoma with dreams of college, ERIK LOGAN worked full-time by senior year of high school, beginning his career as a mascot named "Chuck the Duck." (Yes, an actual mascot with a foam head!) Emphasizing that formal education wasn't in the cards, he took an unconventional career path that led him through various industries and cities over three decades. Erik summarizes that the essential skills that propelled his success are not typically taught in traditional educational settings but were learned through adaptability and real-world experience. He takes these lessons and showcases them for not only young executives as they propel into the workforce, but veterans, as the lessons are universal to us all.

  • The Art of the Turnaround: Lessons in Resurrecting Businesses and Cultures

    With a career kick-started as a young teenager, ERIK LOGAN quickly discovered the innate ability to revitalize struggling businesses and galvanize teams toward success. Later known as a "turnaround specialist," he’s orchestrated pivotal shifts for notable organizations, XM Satellite Radio, and Numerous media radio properties, The Oprah Winfrey Network. In this compelling keynote, he will unravel the art of the turnaround, offering a blend of hard-won wisdom, actionable strategies, and lessons from failures essential for business rejuvenation.
