To my network, friends and colleagues who are leaders in their work field, I have had the chance to meet with Fred, a true inspiration and a down-to-earth conference speaker. I would highly recommend his work if you need to boost yourself, your team and bring your company to a greater level, locally or internationally. He is an Action catalyst!

I had the chance to meet Fred in Riga during the Baltic Business Forum.

Fred is down-to-earth, and the points he makes are always on target.

His strong analytical approach clearly comes from his early experience in fighting crime.

Fred presented at our PSASA (Professional Speakers of Southern Africa) Convention this year. He was one of the highlights of our Convention speaking about “Innovate to Thrive- how to turn obstacles into miracles”. Not only was he info-taining , but hugely informative- a great learning experience for all us. Thank you for coming to Jhb, and thank you for genuinely caring and sharing your expertise!

I had the great privilege of not only hearing Fred speak at a recent Professional Speakers Convention in South Africa, but I also had the chance to get to know him in person. Freds talk rocked the house! His dynamic stage presence had everyone off their seats and captivated by his message. His talk on how to turn obstacles into miracles was spot on for me and I would highly recommend any organisation seeking a high impact speaker to reach out to him.

Fred Colantonio is a high-energy speaker, an enlightened thinker and a true innovator. Seeing him live on-stage recently was a privilege – one from which I derived real, measurable value. Fred’s range of messages is important and deserving of widespread exposure. I recommend him most highly.
