Eric Bailey CSP – From the NBL Hardwood to the Global Stage: A Story of Resilience, Impact & Transformation From the tough streets of South Central Los Angeles to the bright lights of the NBL and the global stage, Eric Bailey is proof that adversity doesn’t define you—your response to it does. Born into poverty and raised in a crime-ridden neighborhood, Eric faced overwhelming odds. Adopted at just three years old and diagnosed with a crippling bone disease, doctors told him he’d never play sports. But Eric refused to accept limitations. He defied expectations, pushed through pain, and set his sights on greatness. That resilience led him to a scholarship at Boise State University and, against all odds, a 12-season career in the NBL, playing for the Hobart Tassie Devils, Melbourne Tigers, and Gold Coast Rollers. The same streets that could have swallowed him became the fuel that drove him to success. He didn’t just play the game—he dominated it. But his biggest impact came after basketball. Transitioning from the court to the corporate world, Eric found his true calling: empowering others to break through their own limitations. As a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)—a designation held by less than 12% of speakers worldwide—Eric has spent decades traveling the world, delivering high-energy, high-impact keynotes that inspire audiences to think bigger, lead stronger, and adopt a Championship DNA mindset. He has spoken in 13 countries to over 4.5 million people, sharing the stage with global icons, thought leaders, and Fortune 500 executives. His message? Your past does not define your future. Your mindset does. Now, as CEO of NLR Group, Eric leads with passion and purpose, proving that the same winning culture that drives elite athletes can transform businesses, teams, and individuals.

I am a senior leader in Financial Services and would have to say that Bel is a fantastic coach. This was my first time using a coach, so I was a little hesitant starting. However, I quickly started to see and feel value from our first session. Bel quickly builds repour and focuses on topics we had previously agreed. All sessions were very conversational while covering a wide range of areas. I found myself thinking about how I could improve after each session. In real time I would think about different ways to approach situations and or people to drive better outcomes. After only a couple of months I am feeling extensive growth and being able to apply tools to my day-to-day life, not only at work but home as well. Bringing homelife into the conversations was able to give Bel a much better understanding to assist in my growth. I can highly recommend Bel to anyone that is looking to improve.
