About the Author
Jeff Cohen has over 15 years' experience in the field of personal growth and motivation. He earned a dual-degree in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and Marketing from the Wharton School of Business. After graduation, he spent nearly ten years at American Express honing his skills in a variety of areas from business management, marketing, and leadership to talent assessment, development, and employee satisfaction.
Facing 25 more years in an unpredictable corporate job to reach retirement convinced Jeff there had to be a better way. He desired both personal freedom and career stability to truly take charge of his livelihood.
Surviving 9/11 was just the push that Jeff needed to properly reevaluate his priorities. He devoted the next three months to a thorough personal analysis of his strengths. Recognizing he was talented in public speaking, writing, coaching, and Human Resources consulting, Jeff left American Express to launch BoldRoad.com. His company inspires people to take action toward working less, earning more, and living a better life through books, live seminars, and personalized consulting.
Jeff is the author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Recession Proof Careers and also Dating, Inc.: How to Recruit, Select, and Retain the Right Man for a Relationship. He teaches personal development, career advancement, and relationship seminars while also freelance writing for magazines and online sites such as Yahoo.com. Jeff also consults with Fortune 500 companies and small businesses looking to get more done in less time to improve the bottom line.
Jeff has shared his insights through appearances on CNN, CBS, NJN, and "Voice of America," and through interviews with USA Today, the (New York) Daily News, theDenver Post, the Chicago Tribune, and the Boston Herald.
The beauty of Jeff's new life is that he does all of this work in three days a week while earning more than double his former corporate salary.
