What people say.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Eric for several years and have come to respect and value his insight and expertise.  His ability to bring front line experience into organizational and policy development is a rare and much valued asset.  His easy manner of working alongside people from all walks of life is a testament to his personal values and genuine interest in making a positive change in this world."

Michel Perron, CEO, Canadian Center for Substance Abuse, Ottawa

"As a monitor of an ambitious youth-led project, Eric Carlin's commitment and support throughout the inaugural year was invaluable and an integral part of the success of this project. He immersed himself in every aspect and delivered timely advice without which the project wouldn't have been so smooth. His comprehensive and very clear report guaranteed the continuation of our funding. Eric's contribution has been first class and comes highly recommended."

Alison McCloskey, Flipside Film Festival Manager, London

"Eric is without doubt a great strategic thinker, which has been borne out by his development of Mentor UK over the past 9 years. He has the ability to focus on the detail and can see what needs to be achieved to deliver the strategy. However, he doesn't just deliver a service, but needs to be convinced that it works, so outcome analysis and evaluation is always on his agenda.

In summary, I have great respect for Eric on all levels and am delighted that he is now available for consultancy work, something I will definitely be taking advantage of."

Jill Davidson, Chief Executive, 6:15 Foundation, London

"Eric Carlin is an expert in his field who is one of life's true professionals. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and have learnt a huge amount from his experience, his strong sense of management and as a company we benefited hugely from his network of contacts in the drug and alcohol sphere."

Rebecca Perry, CSR and Communications Manager, DIAGEO GB

 "Eric is someone with the real experience of the field in which he works: he is a practitioner whose work reflects the real needs of young people as well as offering sound planning and management skills to those with whom he works and supports.

 Eric Carlin is a writer, a thinker and a doer; essential qualities for someone working with and supporting those who work with young people. He offers structure to work he undertakes to ensure that it is undertaken with quality and based on sound science as well as creative and original ideas."
