Sales Training

I contacted Jake when I was feeling lost and unmotivated. I completely didn't know what to do next. I was overwhelmed with work, and my private life wasn't working correctly.
Jake is an honest and insightful guy. He listens very carefully asking sharp questions. He can give you his full attention and then share his wisdom with regards to your problems and challenges.
He helped me find my focus and concentration. He helped me with making decisions and difficult choices. He also taught me how to ask better questions (it's incredible how simple "asking better questions" can help you in life).
You can see he cares. His mind is always very focused. Working with Jake is like an incredible adventure! Jake is very confident alpha male, often calm but full of courage. Every time we meet, he always surprises me with some new great insides.

Public Speaking Lessons

I run a quite large manufacturing business. And at one point, my life was starting to be very messy. I started working with Jake when he was helping me with my public speaking skills. I started speaking at large conferences to share my experience and needed some extra help with it.
Jake was a huge help! And after talking with him for a few hours (I still can't believe how generous he is with his precious time), I decided to try coaching with him. I have found Jakes sessions incredibly useful, inspirational, motivational and to the point. Working with him has "absolutely" changed my private and business lifestyle for the "amazing" one! The sessions have enabled me to think more practically. I do not waste time now ( I am productive - not just busy!). I do not procrastinate, I delegate more, and can spend more time with my baby daughter! Yay! Jakes way of encouraging a different thinking process helped me to make informed choices that I feel confident now. A unique experience for a busy businesswoman. I can highly recommend Jake as a transformational coach! And a fantastic guy he is :)

It is a long journey with this outstanding coach! Jake did a few pieces of training in my company last year. Then I decided to use his services as a coach! Jake is incredible at finding solutions to your challenges. He will always go the extra mile to help you. Jake is excellent in making you believe in yourself, your abilities and the possibilities. He walks his talk. I was hesitating to work with a coach, but I am so glad I decided to work with Jake. He is helping me become the best version of myself. I am recommending Jake to anyone wanting to change their lives for the better. This guy care, believe in you and support you all the way. If you wish to change your life, this is the guy!! Go for it! Thanks, Mark. More...

It was a great experience. Not only I have improved my presentation and public speaking skills. But I have upgrade my whole life. I’ve realised that I’ve held myself back because of ‘stories’ I’ve told myself that I used to believe were true. Coaching has made me see how I have been holding myself back. If you want a great coach talk to someone else. If you want an Amazing Coach - talk to Jake! More...

Jake is a charming coach to work with. He is not only a great listener but also very generous with his time when needed. He is very determined to help you with achieving your best version of yourself. He helps you assert yourself and take daily actions in order to complete your goal. He helped me reveal my inside genius and also discover that I am really able to be successful in all areas of my life. Jake helped me a lot. I was in a very stuck position when I met Jake. Thanks to his magic I am on my way of taking on the whole world! He has helped me to discover ways to how to improve many areas of my life and he has helped me to create the foundation for my new future, the things I would never think could happen to me. More...

Public Speaking Lessons

When I met Jake for the first time I actually didn’t know exactly what I wanted. My life was definitely out of balance and knew I need help. One of the best thing I got from working with Jake was his direct feedback and sheer honesty. He helped me to refocus on the areas of life that were important to me and regain some balance. He genuinely wants people to succeed and is hugely inspiring, as well as fun and compassionate. If you’re thinking about working with Jake, stop thinking and just do it. More...

Jake's work as a coach has had a tremendously positive feedback on my life. Working with Jake has really helped me to concentrate on my vision, goals and the most important ACTIONS! Without a doubt, he has helped me achieve more in a few months than I did in a last 5 years. I am a totally different person now compared to when I initially started my coaching sessions with Jake.

Business Finance Training

I must admit, that I was skeptical before hiring Jake as a coach and a trainer for our people. And I was wrong. After first management training, he did a sales training. I then decided I want to give it a go and use Jake as my life/business coach. It was the right decision for me to make. He opened my eyes and I have realized I was out of my course. We have started working on small things first and I couldn't believe how small things could be so much crucial to your success. We always have a positive start to our sessions and rapport building appears to come naturally to him. He always gives proper feedback, even if it is harsh sometimes. But that it is what makes us grow! More...

Jake Smolarek is a fantastic coach and trainer. His bright knowledge and experience are very impressive. Myself I really like his coaching style. He can clearly see a bulsh*t coming very quickly, but will promptly help you to understand the true core of a problem and turned it around. Great guy! More...

Public Speaking Lessons

Before working with Jake on my public speaking and presentation skills, I had the deeply harsh feedback that my communication style was narrow and aggressive. He has taught me how to breathe so I use my voice to its best outcome. This has completely changed my public speaking and I can now really engage the audience using my voice. Another thing Jake taught me was how to read my audience and how to do it fast. He also taught me how to move on the stage or in front of people and basically how to manage my body during presentation. Great coach, will definitely recommend Jake to my friends and clients.

Public Speaking Lessons

Jakes's coaching style is honest and direct, but also very friendly, and always solutions oriented. He was always engaged in the conversation and you could feel that he really wants to help you. In his coaching style, Jake shared with me very practical and useful techniques and resources as well as reflections and feedback.
I learned from him on a professional level to plan timed action steps, to be focused and organized, and to be open to imagination. I would highly recommend working with him on your personal issues as well as your career or business challenges. Jake has a lot of life experience as well as the proper business mind, plus he really cares about his clients.

Jake is a great coach. My sessions with him were fantastic and open minded. I thought I know a lot, but he gave a lesson that we can not ever stop learning and getting better. Jake is a very intelligent, alert and unique. He looks through people to find the right path for everyone he works with. He is very experienced and I’m truly grateful for the support he gave us to work through this troubling time. He is definitely made for being a life coach. More...

Jake is extraordinary in what he does. Before starting with him I was looking for guidance, support and clarity in both my personal and business life. Jake helped me to sit back and recognise my achievements as well as take feedback from my mistakes. He basically opened my eyes to the world. Jake has an ability to help you focus on your priorities at any given time and drive you forward to achieve your current goal. I would not hesitate to recommend Jake to my friends and business contacts. More...

After years of going through life confused and upset, I finally found myself. My time spent with Jake at our one-to-one sessions has helped me find clarity and peace within myself.

Coaching sessions with Jake were life-changing. Even after one or two sessions, there were absolute and distinct differences in my thinking and in the actions that I took in my business and day to day life. During our hour-long sessions, Jake would make me question the negative thoughts and habits that I'd adopted over the years. He made me find ways to overcome my limiting beliefs. Jake opened up the doors to those talents and ideas that had never crossed my mind before. He is truly a fantastic example and representative of the coaching industry. I now know for sure that working with a coach can not only multiply your productivity but also give you more freedom and help achieve incredible goals. Thank you man!
