AML Coach
Meet Jacob Perego
Upon meeting Jacob, with his big blue eyes and bright smile, you immediately realize you are the only one – his only focus. He ‘sees’ people, holds space for them and expresses great empathy and kindness for all. Born in Louisiana, rich in culture and food, it was only ‘natural’ that Jacob began his life of service in the restaurant business. He realized he could connect with people through his love for food and the communal experience of fine dining. Taking aim at the South Florida market in the early 2000’s, Jacob quickly added to his resume an approach to food and hospitality that intrigued the Palm Beach arena. The journey continued as Chef of the Seafood Bar at the Breakers resort, Palm Beach, Evo Italian Restaurant – Tequesta, Tanzy Italian – Boca Raton, and Sorrisi Italian – Coconut Creek, to name a few of the wonderful establishments that he delighted all with his tastefully painted plates. In 2015 Jacob was named Tastemaker of South Florida, City and Shore Magazine for his innovative approach to the Culinary World.
Jacob furthered his impact with a restaurant consulting business where he mentored innovative restaurant concepts from startups to existing establishments. When asked why he left being a Chef and entered mentoring/coaching, his answer was simple; “I am driven to help others succeed in business and life.”
Jacob has an amazing ability to understand a multitude of dynamics as they arise in business, strategically evaluate, always express deep empathy, and execute exactly what is required by the business and for its leadership to flourish.
Jacob also is a licensed real estate agent in Florida and it in turn lead him to coaching, as he experienced even more people held back as prisoners of their own minds, unable to obtain their true potential, or not knowing opportunities are limitless for experiencing one’s life purpose. “I had not fully realized, until working in a direct sales position, that often people become paralyzed by their minds – that long-held beliefs are actually holding them back unknowingly. This was the moment that I knew coaching was my calling because I believe we all have the ability to love and be happy and it’s my honor to guide you to realize you deserve so much more. I look forward to serving you.”
