Speaker of the day: Fred Colantonio — Creativity and Innovation

inspiring, a born speaker, educator, visionary, and reassuring: these are some of the adjectives that summarize Fred Colantonio's personality. This professional speaker and best-selling author is also a business consultant and mentor to decision-makers.

A graduate of the University of Liège (Belgium) in 2001, his end-of-studies thesis focused on online music piracy. He then went on to complete a specialized Master's degree (DES) in organizational crime, and joined the Belgian public administration as a criminologist. He left after 5 years of practice and founded a communication agency, which he directed with the goal of integrating a new element into businesses and their brand image: psychology and the human factor. Since 2010, his company has been advising businesses on their current challenges: management and leadership, digital transformation, and innovation/differentiation strategies.

His leitmotif is self-transcendence with The Heroes' Attitude®. He is convinced that everyone, at their own level, can climb mountains and become the Hero of their life. If heroism is accessible to all, it is a different approach from selfishness: heroism is a solitary act (no one will do it for us) whose benefit is collective (others will profit from our dynamism to be inspired to act in turn).

"He is convinced that success results from the combination of a winning mindset and winning behavior, the positive outcome of which is a winning attitude." (Charlotte Quevedo, Waw magazine, 2017)

Fred gives 100 to 120 conferences per year, in French and English, in 11 countries and on 3 continents. He has written 6 books in 6 years, including the works of The Heroes' Attitude® which are published in Europe and Canada. Deeply human, he approaches complex issues with simplicity and humor.
