Fred Falker


Frederick G. Falker, the President of Falker Consulting Group, Inc., has worked as an organizational development consultant for more than 30 years, helping organizations with performance management, customer service, and diversity issues. As the former director of Workforce Development at the Saint Louis Zoo, Fred worked extensively on helping the organization’s efforts to establish itself as one of the best places to work, serve, and volunteer in the country.  

Fred is a well-known thought leader and experienced diversity and inclusion consultant. Fred pioneered a fundamentally different approach to thinking about DEI that goes beyond unconscious and implicit bias training. Instead of focusing on the differences between people, Fred focuses on the distance or relationships between people. This new approach then focuses on the behaviors and actions that drive connection and inclusion regardless of the demographic make-up of your team, department, or organization.  

Fred is also working on a book titled, Seeing the Box: Connecting with People, detailing this vitally new approach to diversity and inclusion.
