"In conversation Jerry mentioned that he was a life coach and offered his expertise to help us. I am a basic skeptic on programs of self-help and development but wanted to be open minded to the idea. I ran it by my son-in-law, and he felt the same way. The result was that we needed to be more open minded to this coaching approach of self-development. We decided to take Jerry up on his offer, but with trepidation.The result of this coaching program was more productive than we had ever thought.Once we established open communication, prompted by Jerry’s direction, we were able to establish a basic foundation where we could proceed from. Jerry was able to initiate thoughts and ideas that would not only further our personal relationship, but our present and future business relationship. It was noted that my OLD SCHOOL approach to business could meld with a younger approach to modern times. Once we established a level playing field we were able to reach productive strategies to apply to our business which would lead us in a more focused direction for the future of our business. In hindsight we benefited immensely from committing to this program."
