I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Peace everyone! My name is Eric Mayo. For years I slaved away in corporate America, wondering as many do, what my purpose was. At the age of 37 I left the rat race and dedicated my life to helping people improve the quality of their lives. I used my experience in the professional world and knowledge gained on the street to help people "come up" in a righteous way. For the past ten years, I have had the opportunity to positively impact the lives of thousands of people.

So that I can help countless more, I have written three books: "The Secret to Getting Better Grades," "The Teenager's Guide to Getting a Job," and "From Jail to a Job." You can find out more about my work at my website www.BelievePublications.com

Helping ex-offenders successfully re-integrate into society has become a passion of mine. To date, I have helped over 3,500 previously incarcerated persons get jobs. I am immensely proud of this accomplishment. "From Jail to a Job" is currently being used by a growing list of organizations and individuals who wish to share my success.


Eric Mayo specializes in professional and personal development with special emphasis on life skills and job readiness training. Eric has over 20 years of corporate and educational experience which he uses to help people improve the quality of their lives.

Mr. Mayo has a degree in Business Administration from Seton Hall University where he was a standout member of both the Pirate football and wrestling teams. An author and lecturer, Eric is the author of the books, “From Jail to a Job", “The Teenager’s Guide to Getting a Job" , “The Secret to Getting Better Grades", and has addressed, among others, the Congressional Black Caucus, and the Charles Hamilton Institute for Race and Justice of the Harvard School of Law. He is an active member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and has spent his life committed to community empowerment.

Eric has been studying, learning, applying and executing the art of personal achievement and leadership throughout his career. It is truly his passion and his gift. He combines a straightforward approach and real-world perspective with a presentation style that is inspirational and motivational. His primary message is, “Independence through Self-Reliance."
