Grand Rapids/Kent County CVB — George Helmstead, CDME, Vice President of Sales
Jerry Conrad has been on contract with the Grand Rapids/Kent County CVB since 1996. He has offered us a number of services that we have found extremely valuable. He has trained our entire sales team in making PowerPoint presentations; he has done numerous team building sessions with our entire staff; and he has been involved in a very delicate transition period where we laid off four employees and established a new strategic direction for our organization.

Jerry has proven himself to be professional and knowledgeable in all of these circumstances. He is clear in his direction and delivery as well as prepared in his sessions. We can say enough about Jerry’s abilities to develop an open rapport with each associate and customize a program tailored to our needs and not out of a text book. He is open and honest. Our associates trust him and are comfortable giving him their feedback."

Ethos Consulting — Tom Dugard, President
"Every great leader understands the value of a great coach. Alexander the Great had Aristotle, Jack Kennedy had his brother, and Roger Federer, the best tennis play in the world today, has several coaches. What this illustrates is that we can often become good by our own talents but to excel, almost all need the insights of a different point of view. My coach and mentor through my journey into behavioral understanding has been Jerry Conrad. Jerry's understanding of how people work individually and in groups has opened a whole new world for me both personally and professionally. If one's first step in understanding life is knowing oneself there is no better guide than Jerry Conrad."

It is now so easy to piece together a course that will fit the needs of the learners in a more targeted way. It's so easy with this new kit. It really is awesome!

I also really like the new DVD. Thanks to the magic of DVD technology I can jump right to the section I want to show, rewind it instantly, etc. But, more to your credit, the filmed segments are less "stuffy" in this new video. The people seem more real -- less like caricatures or stereotypes. I also really appreciated the "natural styles" segments.

As an experienced DiSC facilitator, this new kit offers a lot, but it'll offer even more to a brand new facilitator. This is a real feather in your cap. Virtually "everything" anyone needs to facilitate learning with the DiSC system is included."
