The CEMP© Credential
Certified Empowerment & Motivational Professional
Also Offered as a NON CERTIFICATION Training Program
- What good are great résumés in the hands of depressed and fearful job seekers?
- What good is career coaching if anxiety and a lack of self-confidence sabotage the job seeking process?
- What good is it to chase a dream when dream chasers don’t know how to constructively manage adversity, setbacks, and disappointment along the way?
The Missing Piece to the Coaching Puzzle
CEMP is one of the most important training programs a coach, trainer, or educator can get, because winning skill sets without a winning state of mind (attitude) are wasted.
When you combine your specific areas of expertise (career coaching, life coaching, any quality of life coaching) with empowerment and motivational strategies taught in CEMP, you will provide your clients/students with an emotional and strategic advantage that will result in rapid success.
The quality of emotions determines the quality of success!
CEMP addresses the missing piece to a success coaching… managing emotions to achieve all the success your clients/students want and deserve.
There is No Other Program Like CEMP
- Think positive
- Grin and bear it
- Make the best of a bad situation
- Turn lemons into lemonade
- Suck it up and toughen up
Great advice…
but HOW?
The Difference between Motivation and Empowerment
So you work with your clients by phone, Skype, Zoom, Facetime, or in person. They are inspired by your motivation teaching approach. Your clients feel jazzed when they leave the coaching session.
But tomorrow arrives. You are not there to motivate them. Fear reappears, as it always does. Doubt creeps back in as well. And all the negative voices, internal, and external, want to be heard. Your motivational session is now of no value.
Empowerment coaching provides clients with specific strategies and techniques to remain positive when you are not with them. You empower clients to defeat fear and negativity on their own!
You’ll become an elite coach who inspires success by combining your expertise with newly learned empowerment techniques.
Who Will Benefit from this Certification?
This certification is for any professional working in an environment where clients/students are battling their emotions.
- Career coaches/employment professionals
- Life coaches
- Business coaches
- Sports coaches

In a Class by Itself

Your clients/students will work masterfully in handling the bumps in the road that they will face in pursuit of their goals. And they will know you played a central role in their success! Indeed, this is a life-changing program.

My Own Experience
In 1991, I was fired by one of my best friends at the age of 39. I had no career path and was struggling deeply with my emotions.
I had always been a highly driven and competitive individual. But I was an emotional wreck and no one had ever taught me how to manage my emotions – and my temper! How do I stay cool when the heat’s turned up? I never knew there were strategies and techniques I could easily learn to manage my emotional ups and downs.
Soon after being fired, I invested in myself and worked with some of the world’s top success coaches, and discovered the hidden secrets to maintaining emotional control – no matter what.
And this single transformation changed my life!
I identified my dream career that’s lasted 30 years. I have authored 18 books and inspired tens of thousands of job seekers to land great jobs. And my career gave me the life I had always hoped to live. All a result of changing my “mindset.”
They don’t teach this in school. Teachers, parents, mentors, and coaches don’t know or teach this stuff. Yet, sports psychologists do. And they charge thousands of dollars an hour for the same information you will learn in CEMP!
The ultimate ROI. When you become a motivational and empowerment professional, you will inspire success, differentiate yourself from your competition, and earn more $$$!

The Quality of Life…
Is the Quality of Emotions
It’s not what we drive, where we live, or what we’re experiencing that matters – it’s how we FEEL about what we drive, where we live, or what we’re experiencing that makes all the difference.
CEMP is a program that teaches you HOW to empower your clients to manage their emotions and fears in the wake of any career/ life challenge.
Fear is the primary enemy to all success.
When people lose their jobs (their identity), are saddled with bosses from hell, or are underpaid, overworked or underappreciated… they become overwhelmed, and anxiety and fear begin to take center stage in the theater of their minds. Every day becomes a struggle to survive emotionally.
Everything affects everything else. Emotional issues associated with the workplace will have a negative impact on other areas of life.
The information taught in CEMP certification involves strategies used by world-class athletes, entertainers, and business leaders.
When you become a CEMP, you…
- Empower your clients to succeed
- Differentiate yourself from your competition
- Possess leading-edge strategies that will position you as an elite industry leader
Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

Program Delivery
CEMP is a home study program that includes:
- A CEMP course manual, the curriculum for this training, divided into two main parts.
- A 5-hour audio program (downloadable) to reinforce the course manual.
- YouTube videos with Jay Block that you can listen to during and after the program.
- Three, 1-hour conference call sessions with Jay (and others).
Once you have registered for the CEMP program, you will receive, by email from PARW/CC headquarters, the course manual that will include instructions on how best to navigate the program.
You will also receive a short questionnaire with questions about your business or profession, and other inquiries so the training is customized for you (and the clients and students you work with).
Once you complete the questionnaire and email it back to Jay Block, you will begin Part 1 of the two- part program – addressing philosophy. Philosophy is just a fancy term to describe how we think.
As you will see, what we (and your clients) regularly focus on, has a direct effect on the quality of our emotions and success achievement. Why? Because it is our emotions that determine the level of action we will (or won’t) take in pursuit of any worthwhile endeavor.
In Part 2, we will cover 16 emotional channeling techniques that you will learn to help your clients/students manage their emotions – instantly – to optimize YOUR area of specialization/expertise.
This will differentiate you from your competition.
The CEMP Exam: The exam consists of 3 essay questions. You will be provided 6 essay questions in advance – BEFORE you test. This way, you can study and even prepare to respond to all 6 questions. Once you are ready to test, you will be sent 3 essay questions from the 6 you were given prior to taking the test. Then, you will have 24 hours to prepare and submit your responses to the 3 essay questions. (Full instructions are provided when you register for CEMP). With meticulous preparation and focus, there is no reason for anyone who is serious about becoming an empowerment and motivational professional, not to be fully prepared to take and pass the exam.
