I've worked with over 500 individual clients on five continents since 1990.
A typical coaching relationship would include 3 scheduled telephone sessions per month with additional interactions as needed. Relationships can always be customized to fit the client's needs including: additional time, on site visits, coaching multiple parties in a team or organization, 3 way conversations with bosses, associates, and supporters, trainings, 360 surveys, etc.

“Jay Perry has tremendous skill in finding and clarifying people’s creative potential. He does this almost effortlessly, with great listening talent and pin-sharp questions at just the right moment. He can rely on a huge range of experiences and taps into that very effectively – but only when needed. It’s sometimes almost uncanny how he manages to plant a creative ‘seed’ that only months later shows its true meaning and strength.”
