VIP members since July 3, 2008


As a Group Trainer and Personal Coach, Jeremiah brings to the DFW area 30 years of experience in designing and conducting training programs in networking, selling, self-motivation, Strengths Development and personal money management.

He is the author of Persuasive Communications, a training manual that teaches a Win/Win approach to selling. 

Jeremiah designed a sales training program for the membership drive at the Colorado Springs Chamber of Commerce.  New memberships exceeded the chamber goal by 50 percent.

While working as Education Director for Consumer Credit Counseling Service,
Jeremiah designed the Money Control Workshop, an action-oriented, 4-session training program that won a National Education Award.  He then trained 100 people to conduct the training in 50 cities.

Jeremiah has conducted various 4-week workshops for members of the
Chamber of Commerce in both Allen and Frisco.

In the past year, Jeremiah designed and conducted five Business Growth Workshops for members of the Denton Chamber.  The training helped Group Members improve their networking skills because they met weekly in a 4-session training format.  The participants got to do various Action Assignments in the week between sessions that increased their skills in Persuasive Communication and Active Listening.

At the start of the next session, people would share their successes and challenges of the previous week.  In this way, people “learned by doing and taught each other.  This is the power of Small Group Dynamics.

Individuals who are personally coached by Jeremiah also achieve results because he talks with them on a weekly basis.  An individual sets the agenda for the week and then reports 7 days later about what she has accomplished and then determines what opportunities she needs to focus on in the coming week.

Jeremiah earned his master’s degree from Kansas State University and taught for 5 years at Benedictine College before going into business as a group trainer and personal coach. 

His college teaching experience taught him that true “learning” is a change in behavior, like riding a bike, writing a composition or developing trust when you meet another business person at a networking meeting.

By using an Action-oriented, weekly approach in his coaching and training, Jeremiah  helps people to increase their skills in networking and selling, to discover and develop their natural Strengths, and also to get clarity about their Life Purpose.

Additional Information

This business is about

Many people are looking for ways to effectively handle the challenges of a changing economy. People can control their lives and careers by discovering their Strengths and also getting clear about their Life Purpose. When an entrepreneur or employee aligns her or his goals with a clear Life Purpose, she or he can more easily attract the people and resources needed to increase sales and grow a business or practice. Too often people aim at making money instead of focusing on work that is personally satisfying and provides Value to people who will gladly pay for good services and products.

Personal Coaching and Group Training are two of the best methods to achieve results while balancing work and home life.  This can also lead to spiritual growth.  These two methods produce results because an individual or group meets weekly with a Coach or Trainer to review accomplishments, solve problems, plan for the new week and also learn new skills for networking, selling and Persuasive Communication.

 

This Business Can Do For You

If you are a small business person, entrepreneur or manager, you can take advantage of recent advances in helping people discover, develop and put their top Strengths to work each week. You or your employees can join the 40% of Americans who believe that success results from developing your strengths and managing your weaknesses. Too many highly talented people are experiencing “burnout” because their activities are focused on weaknesses.

Personal Coaching helps you by devising a plan each week to move toward 2 specific activities that engage your Strengths and invigorate you. Then you can move away from 2 activities that drain your energy.

Group Training that uses Small Group Dynamics brings together 5 to 15 people who develop their relationships and skills by meeting weekly in a 4-session workshop. Group Members leave each session with an Action Assignment to practice networking and selling skills or to discover and develop their Strengths. At the beginning of the next session, Group Members share their successes and challenges. People learn by doing and also teach each other. A closeness develops quickly in a positive, non-critical environment.
