EIA: Empowering Inspiration & Attraction

Overview

The EIA is best described as the “connector.” They have an uncanny ability to connect with people, and then connect those people to an objective or cause on a mass scale if needed. Those who inspire us or shape popular culture, even change history are EIAs. Often described as “a party waiting to happen,” these incredibly influential communicators are designed for the social spotlight. Although typically excelling in sales, public relations, or any professional arena where networking is a strategic advantage, the EIA is designed for much more than center stage. Their true calling is to connect and unite various organizational communities for the benefit of business and society.

Celebrities

Some examples of popular EIAs, today and throughout history, are celebrities like Oprah; Lady Gaga; lead singer of U2 Bono; and co-founder of Facebook and one of the youngest billionaires in the world Mark Zuckerberg. And to reference one of our favorite television series again, Saul Goodman in the show Breaking Bad was a hysterical yet very accurate representation of what an EIA can be like.
