I believe every student matters and every young person has something uniquely special about them. Unfortunately, too many students do not believe these statements are true. In his book "Who's In Charge Of Bob?" Fred teaches students how to identify their individual talents. Students will read the firsthand story of Fred's personal struggle to uncover his dyslexia and find what ultimately made him who he is today. You will be inspired by the sheer number of examples from students, like Fred, that have discovered extraordinary success by uncovering their natural talents.

As an educator, teacher, coach, and parent I understand the value of having an experienced speaker reach students with a real life explanation. Fred Grooms does just this in person and through his book! A devoted dyslexic dedicated to the success of others struggling to find their place in school, and after their education. Fred is outspoken, encouraging, and causing many parents to shift their perspective for their child. He shifts the struggles and failures to moments of laughter which provides both he and the learner with a platform for success. “Thank you Fred for your winning words!”
