What do we get when a 'crack' inspirational orator/storyteller, bestselling author & leadership coach launch a stand-up comedy act?

For Jerry Almeida who is a Training & Learning2Learn expert, Learning is not just a profession or vocation, but his passion to work with people to transform individuals, organisations and the world for the better. Jerry’s passion for learning2learn with people to support and help them with their growth in the personal, professional and all dimensions of life inspired him to conceptualise and create the moJOsh Inspirator self -help book series after investing over 15 years of reading and research of over 6000 books and 25000 research papers. The idea is to inspire everyone to go beyond and strive for extraordinary and not settle for ordinary.

For the past 2 decades Jerry has inspired, impacted and influenced people, employees, executives, managers, CXOs, entrepreneurs at corporate events and annual gatherings of businesses, UN organisations and business federations and clubs like CII, FICCI, Toastmasters, Rotary, TiE, BNI, Lions, WEF, Round Square, Jaycees, World Affairs Council, Young Indians, Global Mobile & Internet Companies and other organisations. Jerry has also touched the lives and transformed mindsets of students, parents and educators in several Educational Institutions. Jerry creates bespoke talks/ learning programs for every organisation, institution and team that he works with.

Jerry writes true stories of Real Heroes from the world over and brings his talks/workshops to LIFE with these real stories of ordinary people from around the world who have created extraordinary missions, ventures and legacies, which inspire and influence people in the audience to rise and act on unleashing their own latent, unlimited and infinite heroic potential. True stories of breakthrough heroes provide the best leadership, life and learning2learn lessons. We will never have enough time in our lives to experience everything, so we often look to others who have gone through circumstances that we can learn from.

Leadership studies and research in the field of neuroscience and practical positive psychology has proven that most people identify more with Everyday Ordinary Heroes and Underdogs who have achieved significant breakthroughs and not with high profile achievers whose stories overwhelm, intimidate or demoralise. Hence leadership learning works best with case stories of ordinary people who have delivered extraordinary achievements despite all setbacks, shortcomings, struggles, adversity, failures and challenges they had to face in their journey of life. These stories make the learning inherent and give people hope with a huge sense of inspiration "That if these ordinary people could go for extraordinary and accomplish SIGNIFICANT COMPELLING BREAKTHROUGHS in their life, then I CAN DO IT TOO!"

In a nutshell Everyday Ordinary Heroes elevate us emotionally; they heal us holistically; they help us build connections with our inner-self and others; they encourage us to transform ourselves for the better; and they inspire us to unleash our own heroic potential to help ourselves and others. Our passion mantra is "I change to change the world. I change to change my nation. I change to change society. I change to change my ORGANISATION. I change to change everyone and everything." Jerry makes the learning practical and pragmatic with simple stories and ideas for action. Jerry’s coaching, oratory and mentoring/training programs are based on the moJOsh Inspirator framework [moJOsh Inspirator framework illustrations are in the Jerry's OD Work (Indicative) PDF] which is very powerful and Jerry takes participants deep into the learning experience.

Jerry as a coach employs the Socratic Learning Method and Socratic Dialogue, based on the simple thought by Socrates “I cannot teach anyone, anything, I can only make you think”. This makes learning with Jerry fun, interactive, participatory, thought provoking and experiential as Jerry brings the LEARNING to LIFE with a powerful sense of humour (related to the learning) by explaining the HUMAN SCIENCES with TRUE CASE STORIES of REAL PEOPLE and ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT studies/strategy insights from his engagement with people around the world in over 100 countries.

Jerry’s Key Features in his training programs and talks include.

  • Everyday Heroes and Real Stories: Jerry uses real-life stories of ordinary people achieving extraordinary breakthroughs (be it people who moved mountains, transformed entire villages or built windmills to harness the wind with junk from junkyards) to inspire participants. These relatable examples empower individuals to unlock their own potential and embrace challenges with resilience and hope.
  • Practical and Actionable Learning: Jerry simplifies complex concepts from emotional intelligence, neuroscience, and positive psychology, translating them into actionable steps for personal and professional growth.
  • Socratic Dialogue Method: Inspired by Socrates' philosophy, “I cannot teach anyone anything; I can only make them think,” Jerry employs an interactive and thought-provoking approach that fosters deep learning through introspection & reflection.
  • The moJOsh Inspirator Framework: A powerful, research-backed model developed by Jerry after studying over 6,000 books and 25,000 research papers, this framework helps participants strive for extraordinary results.
  • Aatmaranjan (Enlightenment), Budhiranjan (Emancipation) & Manoranjan (EEntertainment): Meaningful, mindful, meticulous Enlightenment (Many AHA moments in the learning program that will enable people to understand how they have the potential to GO FOR EXTRAORDINARY), Emancipation (To be freed from a fixed mindset) and Entertainment (To have fun as we learn to make the training high energy and exciting) assured.

That is our most UNIQUE DIFFERENTIATOR as Jerry believes in making the learning and philosophy into practical learning for empowerment and improvement, rather than simply giving esoteric, exotic, excruciating Gyaan. That is why many people who have attended his learning programs call him Karma Guru who provokes GYAAN, moJO and JOsh with DHYAAN, VIGYAAN and ABHIYAAN (expedition for learning2learn a concept created by Jerry which is now researched as the most essential learning skill for the future) since he explains the LEARNING CONCEPTS in a natural way and takes people on a learning journey by SIMPLIFYING Ancient Human Sciences, Modern Scientific Research, Practical Positive Psychology, Philosophy, Management, Enneagram, NLP, Mindfulness and Neuroscience.
