Dear Meeting Planner or Program Chair,
Are you looking for a dynamic and entertaining keynote speaker or seminar leader? One who helps your people take ownership of challenges and perform in innovative new ways?
Do you prefer an experienced business owner, former corporate executive and adjunct professor of business who will help make your meeting or retreat memorable and productive?
Jerry Bellune has the scars and the war stories that will have your team laughing, nodding in agreement and paying close attention as he outlines for all of you the principles that have led him and so many others to success.
Jerry customizes his keynotes and seminars to fit your challenges and opportunities.
He knows that one size does not fit all.
Jerry's sales training clients have experienced 400%-500% increases in sales revenues.
He has been "where you are" —and then some. He has overcome obstacles, ordeals and failure in his life and career. He has helped bury three newspapers including the much-loved Philadelphia Bulletin, the paper almost everybody in Philadelphia read.
He has been hired, fired and yelled at.
As a journalist, he has reported in dangerous places covering fires, floods, hurricanes and race riots, as well as the White House, State Department, Pentagon, United Nations, Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, the Sinai desert and the West Bank. He has interviewed heads of state and been the guest of Presidents Carter and Reagan at the White House.
For 25 years, he and his wife have started, owned and operated more than a half dozen successful business ventures. They have had a few failures along the way, too, and learned from each of them. As owners, they have successfully published three community newspapers, two magazines and special publications.
Jerry and his colleagues have been honored with more than 200 national and state awards at their newspaper in South Carolina.
Based on experience, Jerry offers leadership training for business owners, executives and team leaders to help them train their people to reach even greater heights of productivity and self-realization.
Contact Jerry now for your next event.

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."
