Motivational Speaker Fred Kusch
As Director of Human Resources and Organizational Development for Gundersen Lutheran Medical Center during a time of unparalleled change and upheaval in the healthcare industry, he was responsible for the educational leadership and professional growth and development of a healthcare system in three states in 40+ locations.
Seeking a proactive approach to addressing the needs of the Healthcare Systems's highly taxed and highly stressed workers, Fred developed The Gundersen Lutheran Leadership Development Institute, a leadership and organizational development training program earning the Saratoga Institute's "Best Practice Recognition" and acclaim in the prestigious British Health Manpower Management Journal. He also led the development of comprehensive community education programming, including weekly community health-related programs, monthly symposia and annual conferences drawing more than 40,000 participants each year.
Today, Fred serves as President/CEO of JFK Associates, Inc. and The Growth Coach, an international consulting and coaching firm, which he founded in 1980. His philosophies, innovation and personal approach have inspired audiences throughout the United States as well as in England, Russia and Scotland. Using stories and focusing on the person, Fred inspires attendees to reflect and develop new viewpoints along with new resolve. He leads participants to laugh, cry and think, and consistently ranks as a favorite presenter with general business, healthcare, education, government and non-profit audiences alike.
Fred practices what he preaches, balancing JFK Associates and The Growth Coach with family life. He and his wife and professional partner Janet Kusch have raised three children-an experience Fred calls the ultimate life-work balancing act."
