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.

Thank you for your inspirational lecture at the CMIPolis! You are awesome, whatever language! Your enthusiasm and high energy engagement with the audience coupled with your wonderfully impactful message made your presentation the highlight of the program.

Bruce Parker John Cockerill

Fred Colantonio masters his message with surgical precision. His delivery is constant and fluid, and he doesn't hesitate to leave his main line and return to it without pause. Which, in my opinion, is a sign of a great communicator who manages to adapt to his audience. For all these reasons, I unreservedly recommend that anyone wishing to motivate their troops, employees, collaborators and/or friends seek out the services of Mr. Fred Colantonio to achieve "The Hero Attitude". With all due respect!

Robert Piche Lazonevente

I had the privilege of attending one of Fred Colantonio's conferences, a very good speaker whom I recommend to everyone! No length, lots of energy, it was a real pleasure! To the best speaker I know, Fred.

Luc Poirier Poirier

Fred spoke at my company as part of the "To Your Talent 2023!" HR cycle, on the theme of "The attitude of heroes", and his presentation was very inspiring for many of us. Personally, I love his no-nonsense, no-bullshit style, coupled with a good sense of humor. Fred knows how to win over and carry away his audience by decoding the paths of great leaders and entrepreneurs, and inspiring them with their own experiences. A wonderful encounter that allows us to rediscover the hero in all of us! Many thanks Fred, and we look forward to seeing you at other conferences!
