I also took Jerry and Tom's Ultimate Stage Hypnosis Seminar once in Boston and I liked it so much I went back and took it again, and I have also taken several home study courses. Studying with Jerry and Tom was one of the greatest experiences that I have had and I am proud to have studied with them. This was over 6 years ago and in those six year I have grown and do about 200 show a year. Thank you to both for spreading your knowledge.

Anyone who registers for my seminar and cancels gets s full refund. My staff and I have never had a problem so it is not an issue. I have issued refunds when asked.

We are not out to beat anybody for money but only to give them all of our knowledge and expertise that we possibly can. I have pasted below some of my student's comments. Notice that we show their names and where they are from......not just initials, etc......................Best to all Jerry Valley

Jeezal Tommy .. Sorry if you took it as a jab. Perhaps my sense of humor eludes you. Wouldn't be the first time it has happened to me. What else would you say to someone who asks "I am going anyway, but does anybody have any comments".Would you honestly expect someone to make a negative comment? I think Mac took it in the spirit it was intended. which was.. I assume you did your homework, why are you asking if you are going anyway?
I did say to ask your students. ,,, what they thought, which was the actual thrust of the comment. It is how anyone should evaluate a trainer, I certainly did that with Justin, and Richard and Kenton before I laid out my money. Actually I thought the discussion would be filled with glowing reports of your trainings by now. Only Justin jumped in and he needled me about not being first on my list. I don't think he trained with you though. I think his main influence was Gil Boyne. You can't expect me to know the pedigree of all 2800 + folks running around here. I am going to quietly back out of this as I don't want to engender ill will between us, That was never my intention. For anyone else that reads this.. I never trained with Tommy or Jerry I have no opinion because I simply do not have anything to base it on. I have trained with Justin, a phenomanal experience, (see my video) (Even if I didn't put him first (Hehe))
Stage guys (and girls) are sooo touchy... hehe joke joke everyone. love you all.

Hugh-

Sorry, but I still don't get what you are saying or joking about?

When you said, "Then it's too late anyway cause getting a refund from Jerry is not easy.", you were joking?

I don't see the humor, but more like a jab, but I don't know why.

We do have students here at Hypnothoughts including one of your trainers.

I think you have a great career ahead of you. You definitely "look the part"!

:o)

Comment by Hugh Cole on December 25, 2008 at 5:13am

lighten up Tommy in internetesse (hehe) means its a joke. Just like Justin's ROFL means rolling on the floor laughing. He knows I'd recommend him because I had a great experience when I trained with him. I don't need a 4 % referral fee to do that. Of course you would honor your refund policy. It is the ethical thing to do. I think I got the discussion started anyway.

Comment by Mac Stevens on December 25, 2008 at 4:35am

Tommy, I look forward to working with you also.

As a matter of fact, I look forward to working with any and all mentioned above. I believe when we're green we grow, and when we're ripe we rot. I did take the Geoff Ronning home study course and loved it. That is what got me started. I've heard great things about Justin Tranz and Marc Savard and they are on my list :)

Becoming a stage hypnotist at 51 years old has been a career choice and I look forward to meeting and networking with all of you!

Hugh-

In defense of Jerry Valley & the Ultimate Stage Hypnosis Seminar (which I am part of), you say that you don't know much about Jerry, but you do know getting a refund may not be easy? I can't recall anyone of our students or prospects who had an issue with us and their refund.

In fact, we are extremely liberal with cancellations. Simply put, if you cancel, you receive a full refund.

Mac, we look forward to working with you in New Orleans.

Mac,
Selection of a stage hypnosis trainer is a really personal issue. There as many trainers as there are stars in the sky, Besides it is always a good idea to cross train with other folks to expand your horizons, If you have looked at Geoff Ronning, Justin Tranz, Marc Savard, Richard Nongard, John Cerbone, Richard Rumble, Kenton Knepper,and Brian David Phillips ,,, and then decided to train with Jerry Valley, I applaude your decision as well made and well formed. If you haven't Then it's too late anyway cause getting a refund from Jerry is not easy.(hehe) Seriously, There are some great stage trainers out there and as long as that list was I pissed off somebody by not including him. I personally can give a two thumbs up to Justin Tranz, and Richard Rumble. for great stage training. Nongard and Cerbone's speed trance is good and worth takung though not a full stage course by any means. Jerry Valley doesn't show up much on hypno thoughts and he sports a pretty promenient NGH logo, so I really don't know much about him except what I just said, I havve never trained with him. Perhaps the best way to evaluate a trainer is to talk with his students.. Frankly don't know if anyone on this board has trained with Jerry either.

My only comment is to wish you the best of luck. I've read about that event, and I wish I could go.
