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, highly practical, highly engaging, and fun keynote or workshop for your team? Does your team know how they specifically fit into the mission, the vision, and the values of the organization? Do you want your team to become stronger, more focused, and more satisfied leaders? My keynotes, interactive workshops, and even one-on-one coaching programs, are all high energy, highly engaging, and highly practical sessions. Together, my participants and I explore the mission, vision, and values of your organization and uncover how to use that mission to drive our own individual leadership and organizational success. We want our people to work their hardest, their smartest, and their best, and in order to do this, they need to understand the why. Why they do what they do each day, and why they should want to do it even better! I present many different interactive keynotes and extended programs based on my book Lead Me Out to the Ballgame, based on over 100 interviews with Major League Baseball players, managers, and executives, which explores how we can develop Major League Leadership, and also based on my upcoming book, The Leadership Doc’s Prescription for Leadership, Success, and the Big Win! No matter what session we determine to be the best fit for your event, your participants will leave with the motivation, inspiration, and most importantly, the practical tools, to become stronger, more effective, and more satisfied leaders for themselves, their teams, and your organization! Check out my YouTube channel to see some of my Doses of Leadership where I share some best practices and leadership tips. You can also see me in action on my website, theleadershipdoc, and can read more about me in my virtual brochure. Reach out and let’s talk about how I can help you hit a home run with your next event! Howard Select Testimonials: Dr. Fero has been to ADEC twice to train our front-line managers on leadership. His trainings are engaging, fun, and he made sure to tailor his presentation to our industry and agency. It has been a great pleasure learning from him and working with him. Howard is a great speaker, leader and teacher! Laura Zalas, SHRM-CP Director of Talent Management, ADEC, Inc. Dr. Fero delivered a passionate keynote on how to effectively lead others on a daily basis. The Ten Bases of Leadership is not just a baseball theme, it is a leadership theme that every person can benefit from to help unleash the leader within. We appreciated how he incorporated our company vision, products, and mission into the presentation. Leadership delivered in the most professional, personalized, and motivating way. Thank you for everything! Dr. Christopher Berg As the Supervising Agent in Charge of FBI, CT, I’m constantly seeking ways to provide effective leadership training for my management staff.
