Eric Kreitz

Leveraging his 22 years of U.S. Army leadership experience, including extensive experience in Army Special Operations, Eric Kreitz guides successful professionals and entrepreneurs through common leadership roadblocks like imposter syndrome, lack of clarity, and career-related guilt. He also specializes in coaching supervisors through employee reintegration transitions using his ARrIVE Reintegration Framework—a structured approach for leaders managing team members returning from mental health treatment or addiction recovery. Eric translates his proven leadership methods, peer recovery specialist training, and personal journey of overcoming addiction, suicide, and recovery into impactful coaching that empowers clients to thrive in their roles and rediscover inspiration in their lives.
A retired U.S. Army Psychological Operations Colonel, Eric has led a team of 9 Soldiers to an organization of 265 people and has been on the executive staff in organizations of up to 35,000 people. Throughout that journey, Eric has coached and mentored his Soldiers to the same leadership positions he held—and beyond. By leveraging his experience and coaching method, Eric equips clients to uncover the root causes of common leadership challenges. He then guides them to develop actionable plans, eliminating doubt and reigniting their enjoyment of the work they love. Through the ARrIVE framework, Eric helps supervisors compress what typically takes months of uncertain reintegration into focused weeks of engagements with clear communication protocols, team facilitation strategies, and confidence-building support.
Eric is an Associate Certified Coach and Trauma-Informed Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation. He is also working toward a Doctorate of Executive Leadership at the University of Charleston.
