What People Say…

I have never met another human more open to learning, adjusting and improving himself than Jerry Macnamara! My husband will take in every word, every concern and every victory and carefully bring you to being a better you! A better business woman, a better partner, a better teammate and best of all a better You! When choosing a partner/spouse in life selection is critical just as it is in business! I highly recommend Jerry be your next partner!

Jerry will bring a force of will & determination to achieve your VISION & GOALS. His laser focus & commitment will be something you may have never witnessed or experienced!

Jerry is the rare combination of a person with an impressive track record, vast emotional intelligence, and a genuine desire to serve others. When launching my company, I had limited funds and time with what felt like infinite options and “to-do” items. In one quick conversation, Jerry was able to cut through my butterfly chasing and set me on the critical path I needed to walk to achieve the results I was seeking. I am blessed to have Jerry as an advisor and friend. You’ll feel the same.

Jerry listens first, and then helps flush out what the challenge is and where the opportunity lies. We have tackled challenges together with much greater success than achieved as individuals. It is not always true, but when collaborating with Jerry, two heads are better than one.

Jerry genuinely cares. From the first word you believe and trust that its’ a “WE” thing. Just like a QB in the 4th quarter with the game on the line. He’s the GOAT. His ability to invest in all his relationships and create a positive mindset to lead in a direction to accomplish our goals. You feel like your goal becomes his and lets find ways to get on the championship track. He has guided me even when I didn’t realize it, which was the perfect inspiration when running my own team. It’s amazing how much time he puts into his family and those he surrounds himself with. Thank you Jerry and hope you don’t just have a good day, but a GREAT day!

A life in business is a series of large challenges and small successes and it can be lonely at the top. Jerry is adept and identifying skills, tools and roadblocks to help accelerate business processes. Working with Jerry has been immensely valuable, and I would recommend his services to any entreprenuer or owner.

The first time that Jerry and I met, it was clearly apparent that he is one of the most selfless people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He has taken time out of his schedule on multiple occasions to help me and my company succeed through various challenges. His background and passion for helping others is unmatched in my business experience. He will guide and assist but not sugar coat or tell you something that you want to hear. He truly cares about the success of his proteges. His down to earth leadership style makes him an excellent mentor, coach, and friend.

Over the last 25 years, few people have touched my heart and influenced my headspace in the ways Jerry has. He is preternaturally visionary, kind, and authentic. To know him is to like him and to trust him instinctively, with his gentle soul and easy charm. I am proud of and grateful for our friendship.

A thoughtful , disciplined and experienced leader/mentor who knows the right questions to ask to unearth and support your personal and business growth. When all those around you have accepted the chaos as the norm, Jerry will help make you find your “new normal” and together you will strive towards a better life and the opportunity to positively impact all those around you. It’s been a privilege to call Jerry my friend since a cold Canadian February in 2002.

I met Jerry through a networking group and really liked him and his energy and insights. Jerry then did some consulting for my business. Jerry probably saved me $100K at least and saved me from a potential lawsuit. This only took Jerry about 15-25 hours or maybe even less. He is great at setting expectations. Jerry is also a fun person who loves his family and his life. I wish him continued success and look forward to becoming better friends with him.

After 10 years in the financial services industry Jerry Macnamara has lifted my mindset and provided focus. He provided inspiration to overcome challenges and strategic steps for my practice to continue to grow. Jerry’s ideas have created an instant positive impact to my business and life.

Jerry has been a a very important influence in my my personal and business development. His insight and advice allowed us to make some key decisions in order to push the business in the right direction, and acquire two new clients after 3 weeks of negotiations. I will be forever thankful for his guidance and the value he brings into our relationship.

For twenty-five years, I’ve witnessed Jerry transform small businesses to award-winning companies. He’s led CEOs in strengthening their core values, providing clarity in vision and build cultures that facilitate exponential growth.  Jerry’s ability to form high-level, trusted relationships through a positive, forward-thinking communication style allows high-achievers to navigate challenges with greater success.

Jerry is the epitome of People Development + Strategy. He loves people, not just in business — in life. He makes people feel like they matter. Two of his best attributes are 1) mediocrity isn’t an option; and 2) we are all responsible for the energy we bring into a room. He is on my personal board of directors. When I’m stuck and need a voice of clarity, I call Jerry. In fact, he’s on my top five people to call for business advice.

Our breakfast “dates” are always filled with learnings, intentional questions, book recommendations, challenges to see situations from different perspectives — but they always, ALWAYS, begin with inquiry of my personal life, ie. my husband, dog, trips, etc. I always appreciate that he is as generous with his listening as he is with sharing about his personal successes – kids, Rachel, his ridiculously amazing 5min/mile, etc. Jerry is personable, relatable, honest, altruistic, and FUN!

I have never met another person who strives not only to constantly continue to learn and grow but to help lift the others around them to do the same. After over a decade of friendship, Jerry has personally helped me grow in business and in life! He is the kind of person who refuses to say good morning, he says great morning! When we worked together he would come in with a great attitude and get the entire team excited about winning the day. He loves the “heavy lifting” and is amazing at anything he sets out to accomplish! Through him I have learned that the values can create clarity and make all of your decisions easier. If you have the opportunity to have his help, do not pass it up!

Anyone who works with Jerry can expect open, honest communication and someone who takes pride in his team and what they do. He keeps everyone engaged and creates a culture where it’s ok to have fun at work.

Jerry has challenged me to push beyond the limits of my comfort zone within my business, which has caused growth in both my professional and personal life. His calm approach to high-pressure situations has trained me to work better under pressure. Jerry helps me focus more on my strengths and what could go right, while spending less time focusing on what could go wrong when making business decisions. I highly recommend learning from Jerry and look forward to continuing to do so myself.

Jerry has a persistent “can do” mentality and uses every obstacle that we encountered as a learning opportunity. Working for or with someone that keeps business policies/process and customer experiences as being fun yet serious as Jerry did is quite contagious and definitely had a positive impact for me to learn from. This really brought out qualities in myself that did not yet seem attainable. Through several quick promotions, I was promoted to General Manager of my company and have been successful with every customer that I’ve interacted with, along with every project and sub-contractor we have been lucky enough to work with along the way.

Jerry Macnamara has been instrumental in helping bring clarity and focus to our business. He has a unique ability to tune out the noise and identify the true issues, then present and execute solutions. I’ve worked with lots of consultants that offer their time or strategic memos, but Jerry delivers results. His positive outlook, balanced with fearless honesty has helped our team see our core values and mission in high definition!

Where to begin? In a short few months, Jerry helped change my business more then I have in the last 5 years. I was unmotivated with no direction when he and I met. Today I am excited and proud of my company again. I love getting up each morning knowing I have a new and exciting path I am working towards that was only discovered with Jerry’s help. I have worked with several smart business mentors, but nothing has compared to Jerry’s passion, directness, and generosity. Now, I am curious what we can accomplish with more time together. I cannot wait to see what he has up his sleeve next!

Jerry’s unique ability to help others is that he truly listens to people and what they’re trying to accomplish and he works to help them achieve it in a way that feels authentic to them.

Jerry Macnamara has the unique ability to nurture a person’s strengths while incorporating sound yet creative business principles. He is a “roll up his sleeves” kind of guy, and will work alongside individuals and teams. He is driven by helping others achieve their goals and can’t help but inspire them to go bigger or think differently a long the way. Jerry has an incredible value system, and knows his purpose intimately. He has great intelligence, but most valuable is his heart and passion to support others as they navigate a successful path forward.

Jerry is one of the most genuine people I have met in business. He will dive in with a unique perspective of how things can change, improve, and grow in a business. Once in Jerry is always thinking about how things can improve. When working with Jerry don’t be surprised for him to message you early morning, late at night or over a weekend with his thoughts and ideas. The way Jerry works and thinks is such that he can make a quick impact in most any type of business.

Jerry has been a mentor of mine for almost a decade. I met Jerry online and wrote articles for him while I was working a job that failed to challenge me Jerry was willing to ask me the difficult questions and allowed me to grow as a leader. One question that has always stuck with me (and one I ask those I mentor now) is how do you want people to remember you when you’re no longer here on earth? This has become a foundation for my character and my habits. Jerry is always there when I’m wrestling with a decision and need to bounce my thoughts off someone. He’s my go-to when I need honest feedback. I’m very thankful to have Jerry in my life.

Jerry is one of the brightest business minds I have come across in my professional life. He has a wealth of experience in numerous industries and is always open to helping people. He has had a huge impact on my professional and personal life, allowing me to realize the need for a work/life balance. He is also a trustworthy individual whom you can share your professional difficulties with and he always has a solution. Jerry is the type of man that you can count on and will always be there for you. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet him and work along side him this previous year. I look forward to continuing to lean on his experience as I work my way through difficult situations.

I felt an easy connection with Jerry from the get-go. Not only is it really clear that Jerry has a wealth of experience in business, he is a natural with people. Jerry has an ability to understand exactly where a person is coming from, parse through the wide array of information that inevitably comes up in thinking through business challenges, and help focus your mind on actionable solutions. He really cares about his relationships and that, in turn, makes working with him feel like a partnership. For anyone carrying heavy responsibility and in need of broader perspective and support, that’s gold.

We all benefit from learning from others.  Learning and growing with Jerry has been a joyful experience.  In my past ~ 20 years of professional experience, Jerry ranks in the top 5 of my favorite leadership mentors.  I am blessed our paths crossed.
