One man in five will go through divorce, and most will go through it alone — not because help doesn't exist, but because nobody around him knows what to say. I speak to the organizations where those men actually are: workplaces, libraries, professional conferences, and community groups. The talk is practical, direct, and built for a general audience — no one has to identify himself to benefit from it.
I'm Eric Meade — a Certified Divorce Coach, the author of If Your Wife Wants a Divorce, Start Here, and the founder of DivorceBro, a program and app for men navigating divorce. Before and alongside that work, I've spent two decades as a professional facilitator and strategist, leading boards, executive teams, and community organizations through hard transitions. And I've been through my own divorce, which is where all of this started.
That combination shapes the talks: lived experience, professional training, and a room-tested ability to make a hard subject easy to sit with.
Divorce Is a Wake-Up Call. The signature talk. Why divorce hits men the way it does, the two out-of-sync emotional journeys inside every divorce, and how a man can come through it — not just intact, but better. For general audiences, men's groups, and community programs.
The First Weeks: What a Man in Divorce Actually Needs. A practical session for the people around him — colleagues, managers, HR and EAP teams, family, and friends. What helps, what backfires, and what to say when you don't know what to say. For workplaces and professional audiences.
Working With Men in Divorce. For the professionals who see these men first: mediators, attorneys, therapists, and financial advisors. What your male clients aren't telling you, why they stall or blow up, and how the non-legal sides of divorce shape the legal one. For professional conferences and CE-style events.
Every talk adapts to your audience, format, and time slot — from a lunch-and-learn to a keynote. Virtual or in person.
