Pereira, coach and expert in leadership and resilience, connects Professional Success and Personal Fulfillment, sharing insights as a Citgo6 hostage and CEO.

HOUSTON, TX, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- On the second anniversary of his release from wrongful captivity in Venezuela, former CITGO executive and international hostage, Jose Pereira, is proud to announce the launch of JoseConnect.com and his Unbreakable Leadership: Building Resilience, Strategy, and Purpose coaching program.

Designed for C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and business leaders, this transformative 3-month program draws from Pereira’s personal journey of survival, resilience, and leadership to help others thrive in their professional and personal lives.

Pereira's coaching program is a natural follow-up to his memoir “From Hero to Villain: My True Story of the Citgo6,” where he detailed his 1,775-day ordeal as part of the infamous Citgo6. In his book, Pereira shares the lessons of resilience, leadership, and survival that shaped him during his captivity. The coaching program expands on these themes by offering practical, actionable strategies for C-suite executives and business leaders to apply in their own high-pressure environments. By blending his personal story with over 35 years of leadership experience, Pereira equips leaders with the tools to not only survive challenges but thrive through them, aligning professional success with personal fulfillment.

"Resilience is not just about surviving hardship, it’s about thriving through it," says Pereira. "This program is designed for C-suite executives and business owners who need practical, real-world strategies to navigate challenges with strength, adaptability, and purpose. It’s a roadmap to leadership that goes beyond the boardroom, helping you build personal fulfillment alongside professional success."

Executive Resilience: A Balanced Leadership Approach

Pereira is uniquely qualified to address the unspoken concerns and challenges faced by C-suite executives due to his extensive experience as a former CEO of CITGO Petroleum and his personal journey of resilience during nearly five years of wrongful captivity. He understands the immense pressures that come with leadership roles, including the isolation, responsibility, and constant drive for performance that executives often carry in silence.

Through his coaching, Pereira offers a safe, confidential space where executives can confront these hidden challenges without judgment, helping them regain balance, build resilience, and align their professional success with personal fulfillment. His deep empathy and firsthand knowledge allow him to connect with leaders on a level few others can, making him a trusted confidant and guide.

Sought-After Expert in Hostage Diplomacy, Negotiations, and Resilience

In addition to his leadership background and personal resilience, Pereira has become a sought-after expert on hostage diplomacy and international crises. He was a featured guest at the 78th UN General Assembly Hostage Aid Worldwide Forum: “Battling Hostage Diplomacy”, as well as the Foley Foundation, and has been interviewed by CNN (both English and Spanish), Time, Reuters, ABC, and many other major news media outlets. A regular on TV, radio, and podcasts, Jose is frequently consulted by government agencies and organizations for his crucial insights into the complexities of hostage negotiations and the psychological toll of such experiences.

His expertise in navigating high-stakes environments is not only invaluable in the geopolitical sphere but also directly applicable to the challenges faced by C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, and business leaders. By drawing from both his corporate and personal experiences, Jose is exceptionally equipped to address the unique concerns of leaders under pressure, helping them develop resilience, strategic clarity, and the emotional strength to thrive.
