Jerry’s Mission

Jerry’s mission is to help managers become collaborative leaders who inspire their people daily to reach for higher goals and reach new heights of performance.

"In business and non-profit organizations today, we are at a crisis point," Jerry says.

"We must learn to lead people, not try to manage them.

"As managers, we manage our organization’s resources so that our people have the assets and tools to reach incredible heights of performance."

Inspired colleagues - not mindless serfs

What distinguishes Jerry’s work and why is he a sought-after speaker?

Ken Blum, author of Black Ink, The Book, wrote in Publishers Auxiliary: "The principles Jerry teaches are based on treating employees as volunteers rather than serfs. He points out that we are in an era in which skilled professionals are going to be in short supply.

"The competition for qualified help will be intense. The tendency for people to take their transportable health insurance and leave a company will become common. The need to develop a challenging and enjoyable climate in your office will be critical."

Al Walker, author of Thinking Big & Living Large, said, "If you are looking for clear, concise, powerful leadership truths then you must read Jerry’s book. Listen to some of the worlds greatest Level 5 leaders and their secrets to Level 10 achievement."

Charlie Farrell, author of Courage to Lead and director of the Executive Education Program at the University of South Carolina’s Moore Business School, says, "Jerry Bellune doesn’t just teach leadership he lives it."

What Jerry's Clients Say

Bob Tribble of Trib Publications said, "Jerry’s teaching style is hands-on and highly-participative. He kept our people involved and alert throughout two four-hour sessions."

Stephanie Berry, CPC, of the South Carolina Association of Personnel Services, said, "Jerry speaks from the soul. His advice comes from his years of experience and the tried and true methods he has used along the way. Jerry is a natural and believable teacher. He speaks softly and carries a big … suitcase. It is full of encouragement, self-analysis, tactics, reasoning, steps, and methods. His honest desire to share his knowledge is evident. If you want to learn from a true survivor and a true competitor, give Jerry a call."

Patrick MacDonald, CEO of MacDonald Advertising Services, said, "Jerry’s programs are engaging, practical and inspiring. You can’t leave a presentation of Jerry’s without something useful!"

Debi Kelly of First American Title Insurance Co.. said, "Jerry Bellune offers a wonderful presentation based on his years of experience in dealing with large predatory competitors. Against all obstacles, he has prevailed and managed to maintain a winning company. His story is a compelling one that has a special impact on his listeners, particularly small business people. He uses his experiences to teach competitive principles that other Davids can use against their Goliaths."

Robyn Gentile of the Tennessee Press Association, said, "If you are looking for an outstanding speaker, I’d like to recommend Jerry Bellune. His management and leadership exercises led our people to work in teams and think through how they recruit and hire, develop their people, promote from within, deal with problem employees and motivate themselves to greater productivity."

Jerry even speaks to high school and college students. Kitty Howard, an English teacher who invited him to speak to students at an alternative school in Columbia, SC, said, "It has been a while since a guest speaker has had our student body in the palm of his hand. Jerry was a master at keeping the students’ attention and getting his points across."
