ABOUT THE SPEAKERS

JEFF SCHREIER

Jeff Schreier began his professional career as a CPA, focusing on auditing and tax preparation. He eventually moved into corporate finance because he wanted the satisfaction of working with others to help a company achieve its financial goals. After working his way up to CFO, he asked the age-old question, “Is this all there is?” Jeff realized what he enjoyed most during his career was helping members of his staff learn, grow and achieve their goals, and he wanted to do more of this type of work.

In 2014, Jeff stepped down from his role as CFO into positions that allowed him the time to complete the iPEC coaching program and become a certified professional life coach. His career transition taught him more than he imagined about helping others to look within to find what they are truly seeking. He enjoys sharing this knowledge in formal and informal coaching sessions.

Jeff holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in business administration from Pace University.
