Seminars & Speaking

Mr. Jeff Jorge is one of the most brilliant and engaging speakers to which we have had the pleasure of listening. In addition to being extremely informative and insightful about doing business overseas, he instantly draws in and connects with his audience in a way that helps them immediately apply what they learned once they return to their offices.

Jeff Jorge, GDP’s Executive Partner, is a speaker on topics ranging from global market growth, strategic planning, and corporate development to product innovation, team engagement and international affairs.

His extraordinary background, non-linear life path, and ethno-cultural breadth has developed a highly unique view of the business world – in particular, of where opportunities exist. Jeff’s extensive knowledge of international business, growth strategy and the unique traits (both good and bad) of start-ups and behemoth Fortune 500 organizations alike give his business- and life-related lectures, talks and seminars rare insight and credibility. A few of his acclaimed seminars include:

  • Roadmap to Going Global: Brazil as a Case Study on How to Grow Your Business Internationally.
  • Closer Than Local, Farther Than Global: New World Citizenship
  • Doing Business in the Americas: Unveiling Opportunities.
  • Go Awaken The Giant: Capture the Brazilian Market While There’s Still Time.
  • Global Market Pursuit in 10 Steps: Why You Should, How You Can, and How You Will (or Will Not).
  • 13 And You Make Your Luck: Breakthrough Market Growth is 2 Jumps and 11 Steps Away.
  • 3 Disciplines Of Growth: How Triathlon Lessons Strengthen Companies, Teams and People to Go the Distance.
  • Plus a wide range of fully or semi-custom seminars geared specifically to your organization, entity or purpose – aimed squarely at creating value to you and to your audience.

Your seminar was exactly what I needed to get focused at ASAE. It reminded me of why I do what I do. You are truly are an amazing professional. Our members could learn a lot from you. I recommended you today to a company that we are using for our Strategic Planning Retreat. He was saying that he needs to hire an accountant to help provide direction for their business. I told him he needed ‘Jeff Jorge’ in his life. I gave him your information :) You are the best!
