A Commitment to Lifelong Learning
Jesus is nearing completion of his Advanced Certified Personal and Executive Coach (ACPEC) certification from the College of Executive Coaching. This requires 128 hours of curriculum and post-graduate level professional coach training from an ICF-Accredited program. The certification includes intensive coursework in conflict management, team development, change management, and diversity and inclusion. Very few professional coaches receive this level of accreditation. Jesus is committed to ongoing professional growth and lifelong learning.
“What is our true character and calling? This is the time to show who we really are with our people, our businesses, our families and our communities. How much are we willing to give? How often are we acting on the situation vs. reacting?”

“The seminar was a great experience. It helped me realize what I want to have more and less of in the path of my life and how to structure my ideal day to make it happen. It also gave me a lot of clarity by helping me understand that I have two types of values: my aspirations and my imperatives which are non-negotiable in my life. I highly recommend it.”

“Jesus tailored the style and the content to meet the needs of our members. We covered so many incredible ways to make the most of our EO Forum time together. As the moderator, I left with a plan to maximize our members’ EO total experience as leaders and learners. Most importantly, Jesus made himself available to me for additional support, guidance, and validation of our next steps. I feel that our workshops will be forever shaped by Jesus’s impact. It was transformational.”

EO NYC
“Before our retreat with Jesus, we felt that we had a high functioning seminar. But, thanks to Jesus’ patient and positive coaching, we realized we could reach a whole new level of value and connection. We got outstanding value from the retreat—and that value will carry on for years in deeper updates, a more involved and participatory structure, and a stronger connection between meetings.”

“I was excited to put Jesus’ book to work with my team the day I received it. We traded answers and it led to great discussion, bonding, inspiration, and clarity. I strongly recommend this excellent tool, either for individual use or for teamwork. It’s a great way to get to know ourselves better.”
CEO, JSP Soluciones
“I took the 1st module of the Monarch Leaders seminar, the process was very simple to reconnect with my purpose and shape my priorities in the short, medium and long term. The silent retreat was one of my priorities in the short term and it was fulfilled one week after taking the workshop.”

CEO, Laura Garza & Associates
“When looking for inspiration to shape myself in the new reality, I was searching outside for input until I experienced a Monarch Seminar. Within minutes of reflection about questions like ‘What are my dreams and aspirations,’ Jesus reminded me the drive is still inside me. After 12 months of survival mode, listening to Jesus and myself, and being inspired by my peers forecasting an active and promising future, made me “Start Dreaming” again. So let’s start…”
CEO, Speaker, Author, Dean of the 10 Leadership Academy
“Your book, 100 Leadership Questions, is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to improve their leadership skills and thinking. The questions coupled with the ability to write the answers causes one to ponder the answers before reacting. You have given us a valuable gift for personal leadership development and the ability to assist others who are on the same journey.”
Founder & CEO, ESPA
