About this event

Washtenaw Business Association - Quarterly Luncheon Meeting




Dr. Eric Fretz, a decorated U.S. Navy veteran and Teaching Professor at the University of Michigan, brings a unique blend of academic expertise, combat-tested leadership, and real-world experience to his work with professionals and entrepreneurs.

With six degrees... including dual doctorates in Psychology and Education, Dr. Fretz has taught more than 10,000 students and executives worldwide, from corporate teams to humanitarian leaders on the borders of Ukraine and Turkey.


Personally trained and certified by Daniel Goleman, the pioneer of Emotional Intelligence, Dr. Fretz has dedicated his career to helping people unlock their fullest potential as leaders, innovators, and collaborators.


In this engaging 30-minute presentation, drawn from his acclaimed Disruptive Excellence course, Dr. Fretz will explore how creativity, emotional intelligence, and strong team dynamics drive success in business and life. Attendees will gain practical tools for self-awareness, empathy, and leadership, along with a few interactive exercises that demonstrate how to “become the leader everyone wants to be around.” Expect an energetic, insightful, and immediately applicable session from one of Michigan’s most dynamic educators and thought leaders.
