Meet JLP Publisher Jerry LePre

Jerry LePre has always been passionate about helping others achieve their goals. Yet, something was missing in his life. After years of successfully working in the corporate world as a top executive (Who's Who of New Orleans), Jerry realized that there was more to life than climbing the corporate ladder of health insurers. Thus, he decided to pursue a career change. Instead of helping investors increase profits, he shifted his focus and used his unique and diversified talents to empower others to achieve their potential and become the CHAMPIONS THEY WERE MEANT TO BE.

Jerry LePre is a highly effective award-winning journalist (LPA), speaker, trainer, mentor and top ranked Amazon author* who engages and energizes individuals and businesses, churches and civic & educational organizations to EMPOWER THE CHAMPION WITHIN. As a pioneer of transformational leadership, his books, messages and presentations blend practical insight and core values with humor, common sense and uplifting stories.

For more than two decades, the thought-provoking teaching resources created by the former WYES co-host of Pulse New Orleans have been used for talent, culture, DEI (Proprietary Organic DEI Approach) and leadership development while ensuring a productive and efficient workplace. 

During his career, he has developed programs for fortune 100 companies, Ochsner Medical Center (Employee Health), Maxi Care, BP GOM, Jefferson Parish Chamber of Commerce, River Parishes Chamber of Commerce, various churches, United States Coast Guard, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (NOBTS) and Bethany Church (Lazarus Program). Jerry has taught educators and staff in Orleans Parish, Jefferson Parish, St. Bernard Parish, St. Charles Parish and St. John Parish regarding substance abuse.

Jerry's result-oriented presentations are not just about motivation; they are focused on transformation.

This multi-talented man is an award-winning classical guitarist (multiple superior ratings), percussionist (two superior ratings), singer and songwriter along with being a digital artist and graphic designer (Seagull Art and Design). He is the creator of the Blue Seagull style of art that is an eclectic expression of the heart and soul of New Orleans. Jerry is the founder of Joyful Life Publishing.
