About Tom Fredella

As a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, Teacher, Trainer and Speaker, I can offer you workshops, seminars, keynote speaking, and coaching, aiding your personal and professional growth through study and practical application of John’s proven leadership methods. Working together, I will move you and/or your team or organization in the desired direction to reach your goals.

They say middle management is where the rubber meets the road. While that may be true, it’s also where all the blowouts happen. It’s where poor ideas are introduced and implemented in the field and where the front line team members go to voice their displeasure and even some of the best ideas that only the smarter executives take. It’s a place that can bring great loneliness as you quickly learn that crap doesn’t only roll down-hill, like they also say. It’s also a place that can bring you immense value in leadership lessons, application. and rapid growth in other personal development areas. Some of the smartest leaders say it’s the toughest place to lead from.

I’ve spent a career at this level, with my folks on the front line. Early in my career, I saw the disconnect that occurs when you become too far removed from the field so I’ve made it my mission to stay close, lead in all directions, and never remove myself from what’s being experienced on the front line. It’s allowed me to recruit and develop award winning sales people and teams. I’ve developed new team members to rock stars and new managers into true leaders. To senior leadership, I’ve been a voice of reason to the floor and a trusted source for ideas and inspirations. I’ve been and integral part in creating and executing many sales and operational strategies still used by teams of companies I haven’t worked with for years.

I practice and fully believe in servant leadership. In bringing value to others, regardless of level, you add value to yourself too. Because of that, I’ve been able to gain influence at all levels regardless of my position while maintaining the work/life balance I’ve needed to live a successful life in both places. As John says, “Leadership is about influence. Nothing more and nothing less.”

Let me know how I might add value to you and your organization today.
