I’ve been thinking about the past year and how grateful I am for certain people in my life. You are one of the people for whom I am particularly grateful.

Last spring, I was discouraged in a job that made me feel undervalued and lacking in growth potential. You helped me to develop a plan and even more importantly to discover new confidence. You helped me to reframe challenges in my professional and personal life, and redefine them as strengths. That one pivotal change in perspective allowed me to pursue and obtain a new more rewarding position.

You were the person who helped me realize that I could move in a fresh direction and be successful. Without your guidance, I would not have taken this path. I want you to know that I truly appreciate everything you did to help me.

I have worked with Bob Frederick as an employee and student leader and he has proved to be a one of a kind individual. Bob has shown me and others what it takes to reach the peak of their goals, and offers direction to those who seek it. His high quality of work complements the many awards he has received and his humbleness allows others to easily connect with him. His demeanor encourages forward movement and expansion on just about any project at hand. The title of coordinator, adviser, and mentor is a huge understatement to describe Robert Frederick.

I highly recommend Bob as a coach and also as a facilitator for employee career development programs. Bob developed an outstanding HiPo program for staff with me and ran the sessions while I was at CDPHP.
