Dr. Fero is outstanding! He can help your organization reinvigorate itself and provide a terrific vehicle to help your employees analyze their role and create strategies to improve the workplace - and win. - Commissioner Mark Boughton, Department of Revenue Services, State of Connecticut Are you looking for a high-energy, practical, and engaging keynote, workshop, or training program for your team? Thank you for clicking on my link and showing interest in my services. I am a bestselling author, keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and leadership coach. My sessions—whether keynotes, interactive workshops, or one-on-one coaching—are known for being energetic, highly engaging, and packed with practical insights. In our time together, participants explore the key drivers of individual and organizational success, with a strong focus on leadership, engagement, team dynamics, and organizational culture. All of my programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of each audience and client. Many of these sessions are based on my books, Leadership in 5G and Lead Me Out to the Ballgame. Leadership in 5G introduces my 5Gs of leadership: "Get Up, Get Out There, Get to Know Your People, Give Them What They Need, and Get Out of the Way," and Lead Me Out to the Ballgame draws on insights from over 100 interviews with Major League Baseball players, managers, and executives. No matter which session we choose, your participants will leave motivated, inspired, and equipped with practical tools to become stronger, more effective, and more satisfied leaders—for themselves, their teams, and your organization.
