WHY STATEMENT

“To coach and inspire leaders everywhere so that together we can tackle today’s challenges with courage and confidence”

As you approach the study of leadership, the assumptions you make shape your thinking about leadership. One way leadership is developed is by converting experience into knowledge.

This WHY statement is a succinct and powerful declaration of my core purpose, values, and beliefs. It serves as a guiding principle that defines the reason behind what I do, goes beyond just the products and services I provide, and conveys a deeper sense of meaning and impact.

Why a Leadership Coach?

1. Guidance and Expertise: A leadership coach offers valuable guidance and expertise, providing insights from their own experiences and expertise in leadership development.

2. Personalized Development: A coach tailors their approach to your needs, facilitating personalized development plans that address your unique strengths, challenges, and goals.

3. Accountability and Support: Having a leadership coach creates a structured accountability framework, ensuring you stay committed to your growth objectives. They also offer consistent support during challenging situations, fostering resilience and continuous improvement.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Skills for Developing Yourself as a Leader. Skills for Developing Others

COMMUNICATION

Others make judgments about what you say, write, and do based on your communication acumen.

TEAMWORK

Successful performance involves working with others who must work as a team.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Dealing with conflict -boss, colleagues, or reports -is one of the most difficult challenges a leader faces.

SALES+CUSTOMER SERVICE

“Today’s customer service providers and managers are more important than ever to a company’s bottom line” (E.K. Harris)

INTERPERSONAL SKILLS

The means through which relationships are “initiated, negotiated, maintained, transformed, and dissolved” (Spitzberg)

TESTIMONIALS

  • Angela Abdallah

    “George: It was a pleasure being a part of your Culture & Diversity class at Western Continuing Studies. As I mentioned, I was hesitant about taking this particular course – not sure if it would be meaningful. Well, I can honestly say that it was one of the most enjoyable classes I’ve taken for the Leadership Certificate program. It not only was an eye-opener, it also helped to reinforce the fact that Amway Canada is well positioned from a diversity perspective – not that we’re perfect, but at least we know we’re well on our way. Thank you for that!”

  • Dr. Paulo Viana

    “I had always been complimented as a great leader and business person. However, in the last few years, I have taken some decisions that demonstrated the missing things in my approach to leadership and clear-thinking around my practice. George came to our company and worked with my team and me. I can honestly say that in 5 months of working with him, we are back on track. Now my staff and I can weather challenges that we have struggled with before. The bottom line is profit is up and more importantly my staff like coming to work and so do our clients. Gratefully, Dr. Paulo Viana.”

  • Valerian Marochko

    “After your presentation, we had gathered feedback from those who attended and all the comments were positive. Many found your topic well presented with you making good use of samples throughout your talk. The questions on your handout had the audience thinking about your main points while they answered the questions. The handout was a nice tie-in to the discussion that followed. Thank you on behalf our Intercultural Education team for coming as a guest speaker and hope that we have another opportunity to hear you speak again at one of our future events”.

  • Patricia Ferreira

    “The grades 5-8 students at ACES School had the pleasure of participating in a two part workshop on Emotional Intelligence by George Perez. The presentations were dynamic and interactive, specifically designed for the pre-teen age group. George’s multi media approach engaged the students and had them consider several aspects of what it means to develop ‘E.I.’ George’s enthusiasm and ability to encourage the students to think introspectively in terms of their personal goals and social interactions was highly effective. The higher critical thinking skills were applied in these work-shops and hopefully planted the seed of considering E.I development in each participant. Thank you George!”

  • Nancy Kopriva

    “Your seminar provided several perspectives on multicultural marketing and introduced participants to distinctive strategies for marketing to ethnic consumers. Feedback on the seminar was very positive and participants reported that they learned valuable information they could use in their own businesses. We appreciate you taking the time to prepare and deliver your seminar. It was a pleasure to have you join us for the day”.

About Me

"LEADERSHIP IS AN INFLUENCE PROCESS"

Leadership has to do with vision, performance, and character. It is the opportunity to move vision to reality, a time to inspire others and learn, the challenge to stand alone, make tough decisions, but at the same time to show compassion.

Leadership gives you the capacity to become a servant to understand the difference between managing things and leading people. Leadership is innate in some, and it can be developed in others; nevertheless, leadership is about learning to lead.
