Francis X. Maguire's great gift is his ability to find the hidden treasures in every endeavor's most important asset, its people.

One of corporate America's proven achievers and innovators, Frank Maguire was a founding senior executive at Federal Express, and served in a variety of senior executive positions with Kentucky Fried Chicken, ABC and American Airlines during the benchmark years in the history of each.

Frank Maguire served in the executive offices of President Kennedy and President Johnson. He was one of five invited to the table to both 'imagine' and initiate Project Headstart.

He now heads Maguire Communications. His public speaking and seminar practice is based on a set of "Maguire Absolutes" - immutable truths - informed by experience.

While at Federal Express, Frank Maguire's "absolutes" turned the company's "absolutely, positively overnight" commitment from a hope into a reality. Fred Smith, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Federal Express, credits Mr. Maguire with having created the corporate culture that resulted in Federal Express being named "The Top Corporation of the Decade" by Fortune magazine.

Frank teaches the same leadership skills that he used to recognize, launch and nourish the careers of Ted Koppel and Charles Osgood during his tenure as the director of program development for American Broadcasting Company.

As senior vice president of marketing at Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation, Frank counseled Colonel Harlan Sanders and John Y. Brown when KFC was the fastest growing company on the New York Stock Exchange.

While with American Airlines, Mr. Maguire played a key role in expanding the company's services to Hawaii, the South Pacific and the Caribbean.

If Frank Maguire isn't giving a keynote address or seminar on leadership communication skills, you'll find him on his boat or travelling the planet with his wife, Carmel Rivello Maguire.

• We Cannot NOT Communicate - We do it by our presence, by our absence, our silence and our words. We do it by our choices, gestures and attitudes. We may not always do it well. But, we always do it. In "We Cannot NOT Communicate," Frank teaches proven leadership communication skills that are guaranteed to improve the productive energy in your company as well as your earnings.
  
  
• Maguire's Absolutes - The best way to predict the future is to invent it. The audience will walk away with "Maguire's Absolutes" - the immutable truths and practical skills - that contributed to the 'invention' and success of Kentucky Fried Chicken and Federal Express. "Maguire's Absolutes" are about the passion, ambition, imagination, skill and obstacles faced by a seventy-year-old Kentucky Colonel in a white suit selling chicken in a cardboard box and a 28-year-old Marine seeking his fortune after serving in Vietnam. Colonel Sanders invented the fast-food industry. Fred Smith changed the way the world does business. Frank knew and contributed to the success of both.
  
  
• The Employees' ROI - Just as any corporation analyzes the return on their investment, your employees expect a return on the investment they make toward the success of your enterprise. Too often, the Employees' ROI goes unrecognized. Today's employees aren't looking for a home, what they want is respect, recognition, opportunity and involvement. The personal stories, experiences and skills Frank speaks about in this presentation demonstrate how the "investment" in these key components led to the success enjoyed at KFC, ABC and Federal Express.
