Joshua Fredenburg, Ed.D.

This year I decided I wanted two things: 1. To publish a book 2. To open and close a conference with reflection activities My book will be published on 10/7/2025. This Friday 11/1/2024 I’m opening and closing the SOLD OUT ATD Sacramento conference. Both took doing something I’m learning to do: 1. Asking for help 2. Offering what I want to do to others (since apparently they can’t read my mind) So, yes, I’m kind of proud of myself. But I’d also like to offer my experience as encouragement. What do you need to ask for? And what help do you need? I’d love to support you.

🚀 Foundations of Success: Harnessing Core Values for Unrivaled Engagement 🚀 Presented by Stacy Harris, 13 Miles Consulting Event: Small Business Expo Location: South San Francisco Conference Center Notes/ Summary by Ranger Kielak ------ 💡 Why Core Values Matter: A company’s core values are the principles that guide everything they do. They shape your brand identity and attract the right employees, customers, and partners. 🌟 ------ 🔑 Core Values = Key to Success Understanding and promoting your core values can help you: Recruit the right people for your team Engage your audience and build stronger relationships Retain both employees and clients Amplify your message and mission to a broader audience ------ 📝 Action Step: Create a list of values that resonate with you and your business.

If you try to force it, you could end up with blisters." 🥿✨ Wait for the right fit, and you'll find a more authentic, lasting connection. #BusinessValues #CoreValues #SmallBusinessExpo #CompanyCulture #BrandIdentity #Recruitment #Engagement #Retention #AmplifyYourImpact

What's in your leadership Library? Not your kindle or your nook or on your podcast line up. What printed books are in your possession that help you with leadership? Tomorrow I start leading an annual LeaderShip Cohort for terrific ongoing client partner Oregon Resource Association. In fact, this is the 5th annual Cohort ~ and here are 6 observational thoughts. 1. When you focus on the people in the room, not those who aren't, everyone has a better experience. The size of audience has little to do with possible action and impact. Those present at the present 🎁 and deserve full focus. 2. Experimenting with format variables is highly likely and helpful - i.e. number of sessions, format, length, space. We started with 3 sessions, then 3 again, then 4, then 6 - and this year it's 5. Partially to celebrate the 5th year of the series. The registered students will tell you what's working vocally and behaviorally. 3. Be willing to add a group and perhaps a 2nd session. We added a 2nd cohort group [max 30 per group] the very first year due to enthusiastic response! Same day, 2 different times, everybody in. That may have also boosted further registration. 4. Have a focused area of growth and be sure to build sessions ecosystemically. A theme is another way of stating this: what's the purpose of the gathering for growth? Having a theme jump starts the connection within the group, since the purpose is aligned from the start. Ours is LeaderShip, and this year I've chosen 5 books to utilize for the 5 classes. 5. Enjoy the organic nature of adjustment as you progress. In every class there are revelations! Respond to those and use them to enhance the future classes. Reference them so that people know they're being heard and their contribution is fuel for the group. If you teach online and in person series, what lessons and observations have you found lightbulby? Please share them below. Stoked for the new series (with some returnees) to begin tomorrow! And there's still time to register if you wish to join us - the link is in the comments below. Connection & LeaderShip. Industry agnostic, fun, interactive, online, good humans. Huge thanks to ORA's Training Coordinator, pro Kimberly Mintrone 🙏🏼 #connection #leadership #professionaldevelopment

"#Leadership and #followership suggests we see the same thing in different ways. Communication is necessary to reach a shared understanding. " Highly recommend Ruth's Substack "Follow and Lead" for insightful and actionable articles like this one! https://lnkd.in/gEGREWKu
