Professional Success

Jesse Ferrell is a successful life coach and CEO of his own consulting
agency, JessTalk Speaking Services LLC. Over time, he has held a number
of prestigious marketing positions with casinos in the Las Vegas area.
After careful reflection, he realized there was a pattern to his
success. In his first book, How You Leave Them Feeling: Your Ultimate
Key to Personal & Professional Success , Ferrell relates what he
believes to be The Seven Essential Laws of Life. From the first law,
The Law of Attitude, to the seventh law, The Law of Balance, he
explains how all success is based on interactions with others and the
impressions we leave behind, which he deems our "personal signature."
How You Leave Them Feeling is a primer for building communication
skills. Ferrell relates the power that words hold and how the
perceptions of others can make or break a career, regardless of merit.
The book is a blueprint for creating a positive approach to life and
professional endeavors. Ferrell's words leave the reader motivated,
energized, and ready for a fresh start.
Each law has a chapter dedicated to its in-depth analysis, complete
with inspirational quotes highlighted in the margins. Each chapter is
followed up with action steps, summary points, and personal
affirmations for the reader to meditate on daily. Ferrell emphasizes
keeping an open mind and being willing to learn at all times, and
encourages the reader to develop a daily reading schedule. A list of
suggested reading material is included at the back of the book. A
forward written by actor Louis Gossett, Jr. attests to the accuracy of
Ferrell's observations and explains how Gossett has incorporated the
principles of How You Leave Them Feeling into his own life.
While progressing through the book, the reader gets a sense that
Ferrell genuinely wants to help people and not just make another buck.
This sets the book apart from other self-help methods. Perhaps that is
his perfected Seven Law strategy showing through, but it just proves
the effectiveness behind the "personal signature" concept. For someone
who wishes to maximize their potential, Ferrell has provided an
invaluable tool for self-improvement.
