Because it’s all about you…
The Jay Block Companies was founded in 1993 by Jay Block. Jay’s credentials include being fired by one of his best friends at age 39 and, up to that point, not knowing what he wanted to be when he grew up. But soon after this humiliating event, he hired a success coach who challenged him to work harder on himself than anything else. And it was this single transformation that would make him one of the most successful career coaches and authors in the country – with 18 books to his credit and hundreds of national media appearances, including Good Morning America.
But Jay will tell you it’s not about the books. “It sounds simple,” Jay says, “but it’s all about treating clients with respect, compassion, and the highest levels of professionalism. Here at the Jay Block Companies, we provide a process that works; one where self-empowerment, self-confidence, and enthusiasm are the foundation of all success.”
Industry professionals consider Jay to be the first motivational career coach recognized for empowering individuals, professionals, and small enterprises to exploit their strengths and leverage their value to achieve optimal workplace success – to live extraordinary lives.
The Jay Bock Companies offers a fresh and powerfully effective approach to landing the right job, with the right company, at the right pay, quickly. Fear, doubt, pain, and a sense of hopelessness, often associated with job search and job hunting, are eliminated in the company’s award-winning programs. And our leadership team is always working hard, on your behalf, to deliver industry-leading tools, strategies, and programs to ensure the process of managing every aspect of your career is enjoyable, motivational, and life changing. Because it’s all about you!
