"It's not enough to motivate, you need to inspire. And you do that by sharing your struggles and how you overcame them. Let the people connect to you and be inspired." — Gary Jay
For more than four decades, Gary Jay has been doing this work both personally and professionally. He is not only a trained and experienced professional, but someone who has had to identify and work through many of the same kinds of roadblocks that keep people stuck.
There was a time when Gary had to confront serious challenges in his personal life, work life, and financial life. Through that process, he learned that real change requires more than motivation. It requires self-awareness, practical tools, emotional honesty, and the ability to recognize the hidden patterns that cause people to work against themselves.
Gary's journey led him to develop Solutions That Really Work™ — tools and strategies designed to help people get, hold onto, and enjoy more pleasure, satisfaction, and success in their personal and professional lives.
Gary has spent more than 40 years helping children, adults, families, groups, and organizations achieve greater satisfaction in their personal, school, and working lives. He has accumulated more than 20,000 logged coaching and counseling hours, working one-to-one, with small groups, and with larger organizations.
His professional background also includes experience as a licensed security and insurance agent, financial planner, CEO of Equishare Resources Inc., Director of Summer Intervention Programs for New York City children, and founder and CEO of Solutions That Really Work™.
At the heart of Gary's work is the belief that people are not broken. They are often blocked by hidden roadblocks: old fears, habits, beliefs, defenses, and patterns that once served a purpose but now interfere with success, satisfaction, confidence, relationships, and emotional freedom.
Gary helps people uncover, understand, and either remove or get around those hidden roadblocks. He believes that real change depends not only on having the right tools, but also knowing how and when to use them. That is both a science and an art.
Together, you and Gary can identify the frustrating and often painful struggles that interfere with your life and begin turning them into practical, meaningful solutions. Solutions That Really Work™ helps you stop working against yourself and move toward greater pleasure, satisfaction, success, and freedom in your personal and professional life.
