Our Team
Eli Amdur, Senior Coach and Advisor
With more than 35 years’ national and international business experience, Eli Amdur works in both the corporate and academic worlds. As Senior Coach and Advisor at Amdur Coaching and Advisory Group, LLC, Eli concentrates on two major areas. He analyzes – and writes and speaks on – workplace and job market issues, and has authored the weekly Career Coach column for major newspapers around the US since 2003. He is – in his own words – “frantically busy on the speaker circuit,” addressing varied audiences, from colleges and universities to professional networking groups to industry associations to corporate leadership teams.
Eli also advises corporate leaders, and has led engagements with clients in 20 industries on matters of leadership assessment and development, organizational culture, executive coaching, team building, creative thinking, effective communication, and synergistic decision making. Eli and his team offer integrated development programs, seminars, retreats, workshops, simulations and one-on-one executive coaching that expose leaders to new ways of thinking and acting.
At Fairleigh Dickinson University, where he recently was honored as “Faculty Member of the Year,” he is Adjunct Professor of two graduate leadership courses: Executive Communication as a Leadership Tool and Creativity, Change, and the 21st Century Leader (a course he conceived and designed). He is also faculty advisor to two student organizations.
Although he stopped following the Grateful Dead around many years ago, he is still a Jerry Garcia wannabe – and works very hard at it whenever he can.
