Who We Are
The Barzel Group is a team of seasoned business and leadership guides with one clear focus: helping leaders and organizations reach their full potential. Our name, Barzel, comes from the Hebrew word for "iron." You may be familiar with the proverb: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” That’s the heart of what we do—sharpening each other and helping sharpen you.
Our approach is simple yet impactful. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we start by helping you clearly understand where you are today. Then, we help you identify where you can go and develop a tailored strategy to help you get there. Along the way, we balance encouragement with challenge, ensuring the process is both energizing and effective.
This approach has driven transformation and growth for companies of all sizes, and we’d love the opportunity to help you achieve the same. Let’s discover what’s possible together.

As the Executive Director of a global non-profit ministry, it's been extremely valuable to have Jay as a Leadership Coach. since July 2017. I've found Jay's straightforward approach beneficial, inspiring, and rewarding. He's helped me identify key performance gaps, create plans for improvement, and implement lasting change. Personally, I admire Jay for his generous, caring heart and dedication to relationships. He truly cares about the individuals he coaches and wants his clients to flourish in all aspects and areas of his/her lives.
Cindy Bultema
Jay has this unique gifting to sit with you, listen to your situation/issues and then, he hits you with it...this laser-focused, pin-pointed, exacting diagnosis as to the core issue(s) that you're dealing with. His ability to identify not the symptoms, but the cause of my issues, has been so helpful. I would highly recommend Jay to anyone looking for some self-awareness growth as well as outside eyes on business improvement.
