Fred Walkover

Personal and professional development starts with your commitment to be the best version of yourself. Amplify your growth and accelerate your achievements. It’s time to invest in yourself.

I have always had a passion for both investing in myself and others to build useful and relevant skills focused on improving our ability to become more self aware so our best selves show up more consistently. I have found that building strong fundamentals in sports, music, business or whatever your focus starts first with understanding where you are now, and charting the steps to grow from your current position. Crescendo in music refers to the gradual increases in intensity and volume of the music you are creating. Every day, every moment, we create our own music for others to experience. Crescendoing the pure harmonic sounds, the effective behaviors, enables you to expand the beauty and value you bring to yourself and others.

Leading others in a business or non-business setting requires the leader to tune in first to themselves to understand their strengths and search to uncover their blind spots. Much like an musical conductor, an effective leader uses their behavior as a role model, the direction and support they provide, and subtle way of being to cue in and orchestrate the strengths of their team members to become much than the sum of their individual parts. The impact they create lifts the team and the business to new levels.

It all starts with one individual making a difference. Even the virtuoso practices for hours under the guidance of a coach to refine their skills, and each of us has even greater potential if we are willing to work to develop it. I have made my life’s aim to continue to refine my ability to crescendo the best parts of me, and of those I coach. Likes a harmonious duet, I work in concert with my clients to create a grand resonance expanding their sound and impact for their best to be experienced and shared.
