What others say about Jeremy
  Jeremy and I have worked closely together in 2010 with six CEO's and their Leadership Teams in a Leadership programme sponsored by Enterprise Ireland.. Jeremy's role was that of Business Advisor and mine as Executive Coach. I have been most impressed with Jeremy's ability to achieve a phenomenal amount of breakthroughs with the CEO's and their teams in a very short timeframe. He has the ability to get to the heart of matters, both strategically and in team dynamics, and to do so in a way that brings the entire team along. As a veteran of five such programmes, I can honestly say that the group I have shared with Jeremy has made significantly more progress than former groups, and I attribute a large part of that to Jeremy's unique style and expertise. He breaks through log jams, puts the hard issues on the table, recognizes expertise when he sees it, and leverages it to great effect. As a presenter and as a consultant, Jeremy brings practical, "been there and done that" wisdom to the table with humility, humor, and authentic dedication to what is best for the client.

  “I have known Jeremy Pelczer for four years and have followed his career as CEO of American Water, Thames Water and now as an independent coach and mentor. Jeremy has been an invited speaker on a number of executive education programmes I have directed. At each session where Jeremy presents his experiences, the participants have been delighted at the insights he has shared. Above all, Jeremy is a role model for 21st century leadership combining an ability to empathise with people but also make the hard decisions. He also has the capacity to humanise audiences and the people around him, which is a testament to his capacity to work the emotional side of business with authenticity and integrity. After each session he has given, people have approached me and said that they would work for him without hesitation, and it’s usually because they see in Jeremy an honest intelligent man with a keen interest in the development of people.”

“Jeremy is not ‘your standard CEO’. And thank God for that. This is an age that demands very different leadership qualities, listening as much as lecturing, convening and facilitating as much as directing, balancing often conflicting demands and pressures rather than simply defaulting to short-term profit maximisation. If it is access to experience and insights of that kind that you are seeking, then Jeremy has a wealth of them and a lot more besides.”
Jonathon Porritt Founder Director, Forum for the Future
“As I look back on my personal career journey from a functional role to CEO of a large corporation I am constantly thankful for the helping hand of a few people who helped me get there. One of those people is Jeremy Pelczer. As coach, facilitator and trusted confidant, Jeremy has helped me realise my potential. His authentic leadership and selfless advice are hallmarks of his management style which were a constant over the 10 years we worked together.”

“I am delighted to provide a personal perspective of Jeremy Pelczer. In my twenty years of executive education, it is Jeremy who has most impressed me for the depth and the balance of both commercial and emotional intelligence. Having worked with him for ten years I have seen firsthand his mastery of all financial and operational measures and details, and his rare ability to understand the diverse perspectives and experiences of other stakeholders and individuals in order to lead change effectively. In his career in Thames Water he led teams to deliver results through high growth and low growth periods, consistently able to communicate his message with clarity and empathy, even across cultural boundaries. Apart from his managerial skills, Jeremy Pelczer is also a humble man of impeccable character. He will make an outstanding mentor, advisor and coach.”
