About Paragon Strategies

Paragon Strategies was founded in 2000 by four executive coaches who sought to develop a premier training and coaching firm. After a two-month search for the perfect name, serendipitously landed on "Paragon Strategies" through a dictionary selection—a fitting choice as "paragon" means and signifies "a matter of excellence." This commitment to excellence has defined our mission from the beginning, particularly as early pioneers in the coaching industry for both individuals and corporations.

Responding to client needs, we expanded their services to include 21 comprehensive training and coaching programs covering essential professional skills such as Presentation, Communication, Time Management, Managing Up, and Building Your Personal Brand, along with numerous Management and Leadership programs. These offerings were refined through extensive research and real-world testing to ensure their effectiveness.

Jerry Ervin, CEO, acquired Paragon Strategies from the founding partners and now serves as trainer, content developer, and leader. An internationally recognized speaker, he has earned numerous awards in Training, Small Business, and Coaching Excellence. He combines deep management and leadership expertise with exceptional audience engagement skills that leave participants wanting more.
