Fred Shea is an inspiration.

After watching the video, read my story about how Fred has influenced my life.

It goes beyond the workplace to show viewers how to enrich their personal lives as well. The Mission: Be a Fred ...continually create new value for those you live and work with through dedication, passion and creativity. THE FOUR PRINCIPLES OF THE FRED FACTOR: Everyone makes a difference. The only question at the end of the day is What kind of difference did you make? Everything is built on relationships. Go beyond simply interacting with customers and colleagues to build relationships. When you follow the Fred Factor, you must continually create value for others, and it doesnt have to cost a penny. You can replace money with imagination. The objective is to outthink your competition rather than outspend them. You can reinvent yourself regularly.

Contact us for more information on bringing The Fred Factor to you. Not sure if the message of The Fred Factor is for your organization... Consider the response Mark received after his recent keynote presentation on The Fred Factor at the annual GMA (Gospel Music Association) Awards in Nashville: wow...just experienced an amazing keynote address from Mark Sanborn, author of "The Fred Factor". I would strongly recommend the tape and or book for anyone who desires to be a leader, or is called to be a follower. Some of the most powerful concepts you will ever hear, in language that a pre-schooler could understand....... I guess that's why I got what he was saying :-) Incredible stuff. Across the board, I think it's quite possibly the most challenging GMA I've ever attended. The bar has definitely been raised! I agree that the Mark Sanborn keynote address was a highlight. If you heard Ken Blanchard last year, this was at least as good (in my opinion). It's been a good week. This has definitely been one of the better years.

What I think about Fred 

The first read The Fred Factor back in the spring of 2007. At the time I was facing some difficult times, but after reading Mark's book and hearing the story of Fred being extraordinary was something that really challenged my thinking.

It changed the way I looked at my work, and it changed the way I did my work. After reading The Fred Factor I had much more pride in my work, and I began to injoy it more as well.

Thank you Fred and Mark!
