Eric Harriel is an author, community educator, and relationship-health advocate with decades of real-world experience across business, education, media, and nonprofit leadership. He is the author of The Ten Relationship Rules for Family Power, a work grounded in independent study and practical, real-life application.

Eric’s message is built on a clear conviction: when relationships fail, families fracture—and the ripple effects are felt in schools, workplaces, churches, and entire communities. Drawing from a lifetime of experience in sales, management, education, and community outreach, Eric brings a uniquely practical lens to relational health and personal responsibility.

Throughout his career, Eric has worked as an insurance agent, account executive, sales representative, hospitality manager, and restaurant manager. He has also served in public and Catholic schools as a substitute teacher and teacher assistant, giving him firsthand insight into the challenges facing students, families, and educators today. This breadth of experience allows him to connect authentically with diverse audiences—from students and parents to professionals, faith leaders, and civic organizations.

Eric has delivered relationship- and family-focused workshops for public school students, college students, and adult groups, and has partnered with community organizations and public institutions, including municipal health departments. He has also hosted two radio talk shows and a television talk show, expanding his reach and influence through media-based education.

At the heart of Eric’s work is a practical framework designed to help individuals and communities address issues such as underperforming schools, high dropout rates, substance abuse, crime, unemployment, incarceration, and strained relationships between men and women—by strengthening the foundation of the family. Audiences consistently respond to his message with clarity, relief, and renewed hope, often wishing they had learned these principles earlier in life.
