"At EIG, influence is not about gaining power, it's about using that power to influence people in a way that honors and serves them."
A different kind of leadership experience.
- A combination of behavioral science and psychology
- Real-world leadership application, not theory
- Deep intrapersonal and interpersonal work
- One-on-one coaching, group sessions, and experiential breathwork
- Ethical frameworks for influence and decision-making
- A room full of people who care how outcomes are achieved, not just that they are
- Performative leadership or motivational hype
- Manipulation, coercion, or persuasion tactics
- Generic team-building exercises
- Theory without application
- Another conference you leave and forget

High achievers who know something is missing.

Real tools. Real change.
Three days. Deeply intentional.
Held in Downtown Austin, Texas. A small, curated group, never more than 12. Deep sessions during the day, and evenings that include music, art, food, and the kind of Texas charm that makes Austin, Austin.
Keith Mercurio went from failing out of college and working as a plumbing apprentice to one of the most sought-after voices in leadership, influence, and personal development.

In the past 12 years, he has spoken to nearly 30,000 people across leadership, influence, sales, and personal development, and dedicated over 10,000 hours mastering the art and science of facilitation. He has shared the stage with John Maxwell, Pat Lencioni, Gino Wickman, Robert Cialdini, and others.
His mission: to unlock a magical level of influence in already exceptional leaders by helping them transform their identities.
He kicks off every retreat with a welcome evening at his home. The rest unfolds across Downtown Austin. That's intentional.
Let's start a conversation.
