With over 20 years of talent development experience, Jerry Duff, Ph.D., has coached thousands of executives, managers and employees in twelve countries. With nearly five academic degrees under his belt and a plethora of commercial management skills, Jerry feels that, “The only real antidote to outsourcing is up-skilling. The old "show up and shut up" business mantra can no longer compete with the wage rates of a world market. Employees must be fully engaged and possess up-to-date skills, the creativity to generate new products and services, and the emotional intelligence to deal with customers, both internal and external. Only knowledge-based enterprises that can tap into latent creativity will survive. Employees are the only sustainable competitive advantage.” He is a key element in bridging the gap between art and commerce. And thankfully, we’ve got him on our side.
