It seems like it's either, "Who are you?" Or it's, "Who do you think you are?"

His diverse experiences include The University of Alabama (BA in English Literature/Communications/Fiction-Writing), Speech Communication Instructor (University of Alabama), Law School (University of Alabama), an MA in Biblical Studies (Dallas Seminary), and a Doctorate in Applied Theology (Phoenix Seminary).
In his own words he’s a Communicator, a Solutions-Catalyst, a Problems-Optimist, and a Simplifier. He is the author of 11 books and several academic papers. Dr. Lybrand’s experience includes government, energy, biotech, robotic automation, securities, small business, healthcare, and more.

NICE WORDS FROM A FEW FOLKS
John Sanchez
President and Chief Executive Officer, Silver Creek Oil & GasFred Lybrand has a gift for figuring out how life works, through a balance of wisdom and intellect. He captivates diverse groups of people with his extraordinary ability to communicate, his passion for imparting truth and his use of humor and wit.”

Air Force (Retired) & CEO at Compass Manpower Experts LLC
Dr. Lybrand delivers a fresh and powerful approach to tackle any problem -- big or small. His synthesis of clear communications, critical thinking, systems and structural dynamics, and more brings lasting solutions to those seeking to tackle real-world problems. Seek his wisdom and mentorship as you face what appear to be your hardest challenges, and you'll be delighted to craft better solutions, freeing you to head to the next level. I brought him in to guide some of my sharpest analysts at an Air Force agency, and he made a profound impact on improving their game. Even with decades of education and experience, my most seasoned analysts gained a whole new toolkit with his coaching. Since that time, I've benefited from years of routine consultations with Dr Fred while working national-level projects: his contributions have consistently helped us gain breakthroughs and progress.

Working with Fred has been life-changing! He's like a trusted business advisor and an old time friend, ready to listen to any challenge and prepared with a thoughtful, pinpointed solution. Time and again I've been amazed at his wisdom and insights on any topic - goals, leadership, anxiety, relationships, personal life....though I think I discovered his secret sauce on a call when he mentioned he's read over 5,000 books! Plus he's just a wonderful and caring person, full of energy and a joy to talk to. He's helped me find success both in family life and in growing a business (after only a year we increased sales by 19%, our first year with sales over $4 million). If you are struggling or want to achieve success faster than you can independently, hiring Fred is an excellent investment!

VP of Therapy and Development at PTX TherapyVP of Therapy and Development at PTX TherapyFew people have the winning combination of life experience, wisdom, and the ability to communicate as well as Dr. Fred. I had the pleasure of working directly under Dr. Fred for two years at a healthcare startup. Under his mentorship, I grew as a decision maker, thinker, and communicator. The value he brings to businesses and relationships goes far beyond the norm, and I’m forever grateful I had the opportunity I had to work with him. I’ve never met anyone who is as intentional about mentoring and challenging the people around him to think more critically and grow professionally as he is. If you are looking for a problem-solver, leader, or mentor, I can’t think of anyone who would add more value to your business than Dr. Fred.

Lithography Stability Engineer Infineon Technologies & Former Chief Operating Officer ACUFOCUSFred’s systems perspective and keen ability to simply summarize complexity helped the AcuFocus Executive team craft a solid 18 month operating plan that has resulted in a better way of working for the entire company. We are in a better place because of our involvement with Dr. Lybrand.
Dr. Keith Bower
C12 Chair & Former Energy Industry Advisor to the Disney InstituteFred Lybrand has been my #1 personal and professional advisor for over 25 years. His insights into systems and organizational dynamics are so penetrating that sometimes they’re downright spooky. Fred builds on those insights with practical suggestions that are consistently profound, creative, and impactful. When it comes to diagnosing the fundamental dynamics of human systems, understanding their consequences, and developing nuanced adjustments that make a huge difference, Fred Lybrand has no peers.

After Training Triad Coaching Connection:
It was hard to get away from the meeting with so many folks telling me how powerful your talk was. I quote a colleague who said, "LOVED him! Loved what I learned. I hope to be the poster child for application!" Another woman, whom I had never met, told me that yours was the best presentation she had ever attended in her lifetime. This is a very opinionated and “confident” crowd of coaches, so it’s not often that we get such an overwhelmingly positive response from everyone! (At least everyone I talked with.) Please let me know if there is anything I can do to promote this new phase of exponential learning you are gifting to the world. Big hugs and massive thanks. You were, as always, superior.
