Biography

Trust issues, leadership missteps and ethics problems can threaten any organization, impact market value and cause irreversible damage. Frank Bucaro helps leaders at the best and most admired companies skillfully navigate the high road to success.

His unique career path from the classroom to the boardroom began a number of years ago when a succession of high profile media reports captured his attention. While still a teacher of moral theology, he became increasingly aware that problems relating to unethical practices in the marketplace seemed to be on the increase.

Believing that ethics and values had the power to increase business success rather than impede it, Frank left teaching and formed a business partnership offering keynotes and seminars. The transition to business owner was nearly seamless with the introduction of his first keynote entitled “How Do You Spell Success? E-T-H-I-C-S!”

Word spread about his entertaining and humorous approach to the serious subject of ethics and soon large and small organizations, Fortune 500 companies and associations in the USA and Canada were contacting Frank about his programs. His programs are a natural fit with organizations interested in reinforcing their commitment to ethics and values and reducing vulnerability to costly ethics and compliance problems.

He is a business owner and author of the book TRUST ME! Insights Into Ethical Leadership. His articles have been published in a variety of industry publications and in ethics and compliance magazines such as Compliance & Ethics Professional, Corporate Compliance Insights, Ethisphere and Risk & Compliance (UK).

A member of the National Speakers Association, he has earned their designation of CSP which stands for Certified Speaking Professional and he was also presented with NSA’s prestigious CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame Award for excellence and professionalism, an award held by fewer than 220 people worldwide.

A few of the organizations that have invited Frank to speak at their meetings include the Association of Government Accountants, Bayer Healthcare, Canadian Pacific Railway, the Ethics and Compliance Officer Association, Global Compliance Client Advisory Council, the Human Resources Professionals Association of Ontario, New York Life, Noble Energy and RE/MAX International.

Testimonials

I’ve known and trusted Frank for many years after first seeing him do an amazing keynote. Later had Frank help us build a company code of ethics which served to guide us during rapid growth. Most recently I had Frank in to conduct a 90-minute ethics workshop for my Midwest leaders. He’s energetic, passionate, funny and one of the top experts in the world on the topic of ethical leadership.
– Scott Jamieson VP President Midwest Division Corporate Partnership and Bartlett Tree Investing solutions
Frank Bucaro is a dynamic and engaging speaker. His thorough grasp on the subject of ethics, combined with his enthusiastic delivery and open demeanor help to expedite communication between him and his audience and create an atmosphere from which both parties experience growth, learning, and inspiration.
– Kim Miele, Executive Director, Gulf Coast CEOFORUM
Even though you and I did not spend but a few moments together, I am totally impressed with you; a consummate professional. I have worked with hundreds of speakers in my conference planning career. I place you right at the top of the list. Not just for your skill and passion (which is what I believe transcended to our participants resulting in all of the many contacts and immediate praise) but down to little details like the nice personal note I just received. I decided to sit and listen to your words and advice. It reached me and touched on so many of the virtues I believe are visible with many of our loyal members. We are working on our post conference Evaluations however the instant reactions indicated the “Perfect Score” objective in our eyes we enjoy observing. Like the Olympic Judging, the Perfect 10 is given few and far between and it’s about as rare for us as it is in Olympic history.
– Bob Dorsa, Executive Director, ACUMA
The Aluminum Extruders Council LOVED having Frank Bucaro deliver his Good Company: Be the Organization That People Want To Work For, Partner With, Invest In and Buy From! presentation. Our audience of senior leaders said they really enjoyed your presentation as well as the way you presented the material. It was a lively, fun and information presentation that was raved about within our group. Our room was captivated by your presentation style and appreciated the humor you appropriately incorporated. We would be thrilled to have you as a return speaker one day!
– Kim Collins, Program Manager – Education, Aluminum Extruders Council
We hired Frank to speak a group of lab professionals at Pittcon. Frank delivered a great message about ethics. He used personal experiences and humor to get his information across. Frank’s enthusiasm was contagious and as a result the attendees were very engaged. I found Frank to be very easy to work with. He is organized, accommodating and personable. Frank would be an excellent fit for any organization.”
– Cayley Thomas, Events Coordinator, LabX media Group
Frank is a fantastic speaker and very accommodating to our needs. Frank does so much more than just provide a speech, he arrived early to our event and greeted guests as they arrived. He also actively participated in our workshops and gave further insight from his vast amount of experience. I give him 5-Stars, and cannot say much better than, “He is the best!
– Andrew Mertzenich, Events Services, Concordia University
THANK YOU for your fantastic contribution to our meeting yesterday. The feedback we received on your presentation was 100% “Excellent”! I so enjoyed working with you to prepare for the meeting and during the day yesterday. I hope that it will not be the last time our paths cross. I wish you the best, and certainly understand why you came so highly recommended.
– Diana Smith, Director of Business Development | Information Technology | Engineering Six Sigma Champion | Volt Workforce Solutions
When I first floated the idea of a think tank where like-minded colleagues would work together developing ethical conduct in business models, Frank Bucaro was one of the first people to offer collaborations. Upon review of his work, I found him to be a role model of personal and professional integrity. Over the past year, Frank has helped me develop my organization and refine the missions. We’ve worked on several projects helping individuals find experts to assist them in resolving ethical dilemmas. Frank and I also work on global initiatives and national programs. Hiring Frank to provide ethical conduct training and integrity assessment at your company is an investment in corporate sustainability.
