Fred is the President of Falker Consulting Group, Inc., a consulting and human resource development training firm, and former Director of Workforce Development for the Saint Louis Zoo. He has been an organizational development consultant for over 30 years, helping organizations with performance management, customer service, and inclusion & diversity consulting and training. At the Saint Louis Zoo, his work focused on helping the organization establish itself as one of the country’s best places to work, serve and volunteer.
Over the past twenty-five years, Fred has developed and introduced a fundamentally new and better approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion. This approach goes beyond today’s anti-racism and unconscious/implicit bias training. Instead of focusing on the differences between people, Fred focuses on the distance between them and the behaviors that drive connection, inclusion, and belonging.
Fred has partnered with Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute to develop a program called Include to bring distance paradigm thinking and behavioral change into organizations. Fred is also working on a book detailing this transformative way of thinking about inclusion and diversity titled, Seeing the Box: Connecting with People.
A few of the organizations Fred has served are Spire Inc., BJC Health System, SSM Health System, Bethesda Health System, Miles Laboratories, Keeley Construction, Boeing, Johnson and Johnson, Washington University, Fontbonnne University, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Commerce Bank, Ralston Purina, Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant, Saint Louis Zoo and U.S. Department of Education.
