Jack Bergstrom’s Summary
I have been successful in a number of different careers. After college, I was recruited by a startup retail hardware company and along with other hardworking and visionary people, I helped this company to grow to over $1 Billion dollars in sales in under 6 years. I was also involved in the successful IPO of this company.
I started, owned and operated a successful headhunting and staffing company. After only 3 and ½ years, this company was receiving national attention and I accepted a very lucrative buyout offer.
I have been an executive coach since 1989 and I have also worked as a business consultant and seminar leader since 1994. I was a sales group leader for Dale Carnegie for 8 years where I helped to train hundreds of salespeople in virtually every line of work. I was also an assistant to Anthony Robbins...perhaps the world’s most successful and well known business and life coach and I am a master of the technology behind much of what Tony teaches...Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP. I have worked with more than 300 of the Fortune 500 companies, thousands of business executives in large and small companies and I have consulted with hundreds of small companies.
My goals for my clients are always the same:
To help my clients become completely clear on what they want and why they want it.
To help them get past whatever issues may be between them and their dreams.
To help them achieve their wonderful goals as quickly and elegantly as possible.
And finally, to make sure that my clients always have a great time, a blast, along the way.
I am on Linkedin to reconnect with friends and colleagues and to find speaking, coaching and consulting opportunities.
