DeFalco Coaching & Consulting

, wealth, and health. DeFalco works with those who seem to have it “All Together” on the outside, but their satisfaction is like stormy weather on the inside. DeFalco’ s clients are achievers who can solve financial and business issues and conquer the world for others, but their own personal needs and satisfaction are neglected, unfulfilled, and undiscovered. Spending 50 years letting truth (the whole truth & nothing but the truth) master him in his life and business, while on his winding path to fame and fortune, truth was perfecting DeFalco’ s 1990 dissertation and manuscript, “Success: The Artful Management of Failures & Setbacks,” along the way. He was constantly enlisted by life, and those he served in his many businesses to become their life coach, business coach, consultant, turnaround specialist, and guru. DeFalco works miracles he has performed for himself and for others in their life, personally and professionally. DeFalco strategizes and develops solutions for turnarounds, makeovers, and resolutions for all areas of business, and the business of life. Beyond his roles as guru and coach, DeFalco serves as a lifelong partner in the success of those he coaches. He assists leaders in managing their lives, businesses, corporations, relationships, crises, and circumstances. His clients achieve peace of mind, true purpose, and internal fulfillment—regardless of their current personal or business external circumstances and conditions. He knows first-hand how lonely it can be starting, building, and running business enterprises, organizations, and a life, and to get to the top and find, there is another mountain you must climb, he accompanies his clients in all their mountain climbing. DeFalco creates miracles for his clients’ by removing their blinders and self-imposed limitations by eradicating their mental cancer—the mysterious cancer that destroys peace, resolutions, solutions, relationships, health, families, careers, businesses, corporations, and society. He assists the elite, successful, and powerful in their business and personal lives, creating a self-revolution by helping each of his clients discover and sync with their highest professional and highest spiritual calling. DeFalco helps his clients bring both callings into harmony with divine intelligence and divine integrity, which works for them and in them—not against them, as many leaders often feel. DeFalco surprisingly began his life and business life journey as a juvenile criminal from ages 11 to 15, he then sailed four of the seven seas as a merchant seaman for three years before marrying Dorothy, a 23-year-old stripper, in 1972. At the age of 18, he took a job as a garbageman to support Dorothy so that she could escape from her society-forced stripper lifestyle and finally get custody of her five-year-old daughter, Donna, who was in foster care for four years. DeFalco adopted Donna one year later when he had enough money to do so. Six years together and three of their own children later, DeFalco had made his way from menial work and a menial life to the top of many mountains including corporate ladders in multiple locations and had become a multimillionaire through his entrepreneurial pursuits after his corporate successes. However, despite succeeding at high levels in all areas of life, DeFalco’ s failure to find his life’s true why and worldview left him secretly feeling empty inside—as he describes, having it all but “on a treadmill to… where?”. With all his success in corporate America, business, and pursuits as a master practitioner of personal development, philosophy, psychology, and religion, DeFalco never found his life’s truth compass, peace of heart, and peace of mind, or worldview. After 30 years of volunteering in prisons (where some inmates, including his own brother, were on death row), working with the very wealthy from all over the world, flying on private jets of billionaires, and suffering the loss of friends and family members by su***de, DeFalco always searched for truth. Though he kept demanding truth from life by asking “what’s it all about?” the more experts he encountered, studied, and engaged with, only created more doubts in him when he realized most experts had never truly experienced their own peace of heart, peace of mind, nor had solid answers on the why’s in life. In 2017, DeFalco found that success, faith, and mindset alone had not been enough to get him through the fire of the personal hell he had experienced throughout the five years prior: a hell of losing his multimillion-dollar wealth to a hedge fund’s hostile corporate takeover, losing his 40-year marriage to Dorothy, and losing his 36-year-old daughter (to H1N1 and pneumonia). DeFalco realized then that his very well-groomed and famous take-charge optimistic attitude, mindset, faith, and the BS (belief systems) of his ineffective religion would not save him. In fact, it was just the opposite—all these elements played tricks on his mind and contributed to all his losses. As had other family members and friends; he almost lost the battle for truth and considered ending his life either by a chosen destructive lifestyle or su***de. However, he emerged from the ashes like a phoenix and became a victor and not a victim, developing halos from the hurts and stars from the scars. He finally discovered the cause of and the cure for mental cancer that most humans live with, and die with, especially the highly successful. With a new type of empowerment, a life well-spent and vested in self-improvement, and a commitment to truth in its entirety, DeFalco found a perfect love and power within himself that he had never experienced or known was possible. This new, perfect love led him to a new lover in his life: it was his ex-wife Dorothy, the wife of his youth. This came after his opportunity and an experience to participate in Dorothy’s miraculous healing and rescue from her hospice, where she had been sent to her deathbed on September 28, 2022. DeFalco had spent 17 hours at Dorothy’s side flushing her body with fluids, her soul with love, when the doctor walked in at 10:00 AM on the next morning of September 29 (Fred’s 69th birthday), he looked at Dorothy’s record of the previous 17 hours, and said to them, “What are you doing here?” Fred took Dorothy home, and you can now hear them both saying and singing, “we’ve only just begun.”

As DeFalco says, “miracles and healing in business and life are not for the timid or weak; they come only to all who truly seek.” Only the truth sets us free, but it makes us miserable first. Without misery, miracles are not possible. Such miracles do not come to those seeking answers and knowing, but to those seeking to see, see truth, vision, a life of purpose, true to themselves and their own creations, and a willingness to answer that inner voice within them that is always crying out, there must be more to this, ME & MY (life, world, business, life’s work, enterprise, marriage, family, real estate, wealth, health) while on my human journey. When not creating, writing, speaking, or coaching, you will find DeFalco on his ocean view balcony enjoying the ocean breeze or taking in the sunrise and sunset from his community’s front yard and backyard in Highland Beach, Florida. TESTIMONIALS ABOUT FRED AND HIS WORK

Expertise is an understatement when referring to Fred DeFalco. His handling of three different corporate projects that were bound for failure was turned into gold miraculously. We are so impressed with his professional, knowledgeable, and strategic approach to crisis management. His highly developed awareness of how the business and the personal interrelate is impressive. With a lifetime in the boxing and entertainment business, I pronounce Fred DeFalco a “CHAMP”. He has handled many complicated transactions for my business and family members over the last 25 years. All were executed with the skill and ex*****on of a champion. “Only In America”

My husband and I are not sure what would have happened to our family of five had it not been for Fred DeFalco. Spite all our business success and wealth, our family life, personal life, and social life was a disaster even though we hid it well in our extended family and social circles. Our lives are much different, we are a powerhouse team that control our circumstances versus any of them controlling us or our family. During a potential lucrative corporate buy out of our major business there was a revolt among 90% of our 300 employees. It was so bad it came very close to destroying our golden opportunity. Fred DeFalco in 90 days had the entire company and all staff working in complete collaboration and helped us get a buy in by most of the staff. Our corporate buyout was closed three months later. Our family has only the highest praise for Fred DeFalco. He has served our family on numerous occasions in both personal and business matters totaling millions of dollars. Our family’s much needed privacy from the public eye was always protected. Each matter was efficient, cost-effective, and a thoroughly delightful experience. He is consistent; and operates in the toughest situations with grace, charm, and finesse. When illness forced our family into major business and personal crisis, the many professionals we had trying to help us failed or could not help us, we were referred to Fred DeFalco. After just three weeks we saw the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, and that light came to fruition for our business and family within three months. Thank You, Fred DeFalco

As a divorce attorney practicing for 25 plus years, there is only one consultant I have in my phone and I refer to my high-end clients for personal and business matters, Fred DeFalco. Fred’s alternative dispute resolution is magic. I never thought my “perfect” marriage would ever end, but it did, it became a nightmare that affected my personal life and practice, but Fred was there for me all the time. To this day, I am not sure how Fred DeFalco got my ex-wife and me to reach an amicable settlement of all our personal issues without a lawsuit, but he did. There are not enough words to describe how caring and thoughtful this man is to all he works with. When I needed to sell corporately owned multi-million-dollar assets in a specific time frame, I met with many who called themselves experts. Many with impressive credentials. When I met Fred DeFalco, who was from out of my area, he was the only one who could and would promise me a specific time frame and price ranges. Sixty-Two days later, all the assets were sold and closed. Thank you, Fred DeFalco. As a trustee of my father's complicated estate, all the attorneys involved only added fuel to the fire of family disputes among my five siblings. Family disputes turned into very expensive 20-month legal battle and a lawsuit. The estate’s legal bills were $350,000 in the 20-months, Fred DeFalco was introduced to the family. Fred was able to get six children to agree and stop fighting, the lawsuit was settled in three months, and a proper strategy was put in place to settle the estate quickly. Fred DeFalco literally helped save my life. Divorce after 35 years is ugly enough, but during the same time, my father’s estate, which I had an interest was robbed, which also resulted in the filing of a foreclosure on my luxury home. Also, the theft became a threat of us losing a 25-year family business tied up in the estate. I thought the world had ended. Four months later, we were all taken care of. Fred DeFalco produced twenty-one offers on our home, met with the bank at a prearranged mediation he strategically planned with our attorney, negotiated a successful settlement agreement at mediation which protected our equity, and got the sale closed in 45 days. During the same time, he settled a $350,000 claim on the family business from an estate attorney, which saved the business. I am now in a new home and building a new life for myself, and the family business is in great shape. Our national family-owned commercial real estate investment company has been around for 65 years. We have used many national commercial real estate companies to buy and sell commercial assets. We chose Fred DeFalco and his system over national companies and multi-family specialists when selling two significant multi-family assets. We had a price target very high that was way above market statistics and comparable properties. The results were astounding compared to what other professionals had predicted we could achieve with the two sales. I have been practicing bankruptcy law for many years specializing in corporate restructuring with the chapter 11 process. Two of my clients had Fred DeFalco involved as their real estate specialist and consultant. What was achieved with his involvement was one for the Chapter 11 textbooks. His tenacity, persistence, and skill turned horrible situations into win-win business arrangements for all involved. As a litigation attorney with 40 years of experience, I have known Fred since 1990. I have been astounded by every transaction that Fred DeFalco has been involved in with my clients. In numerous cases, I have seen him come up with the most creative real estate resolutions with the country's biggest and most challenging banks by creating value for both sides. His philosophy that he lives daily of focusing on What's Right vs. Who's Right in every deal is powerful and very effective. When I needed an extensive aviation facility for my international business and private plane collection, I was introduced to Fred DeFalco. When he identified the right place that was not even on the market, he swiftly started a process, including flying across the country with only a few hours’ notice to wrap up the transaction. Two months later, I was the proud owner of my own aviation center and corporate headquarters. Our group had an opportunity to purchase a 54-story office building fully rented at a 40% discount with 65% owner financing offered if we could produce a contract of sale with a 35-day closing (January 1st Deadline for the corporation to have the asset off their books). The agreement must have a one-million-dollar cash deposit. We ran out of options, and then we were introduced to Fred. We believe in him so much we offered him a 25% partnership to help us make the transaction happen. In 48 hours, he had the deal wrapped up and signed; we closed on the building on December 31st at 8:30 PM. My husband purchased 37 acres to redevelop into an RV Park, a personal dream after working all his career for others selling RVs. After a lengthy approval process and just ready to build, my husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness and only given a few months to live. After scrambling with many brokers and trying to find the right solution, we came up with no answers other than letting the property go at a fire sale and lose all our equity which was needed for what we were facing personally. My husband met Fred DeFalco at the RV dealership he worked for, they struck up a conversation. One hour later, Fred was touring the property; by the end of that day, we had a contract to close in 25 days. We closed 19 days later, and we received the $300,000 we had put into the property. My husband lived another nine months after the sale; we traveled in our Class A RV and had a blast for six of those nine months, thanks to Fred DeFalco. As a banking executive in real estate lending for many years, I had a customer who purchased 54 acres, and we were going to do the lending. However, the lending became challenging on the property due to zoning issues and a few other problems. My customer needed to develop an exit strategy that would hopefully be profitable versus giving up on the property. Fred DeFalco was my customer on a commercial property we had financed for him. I was always impressed with Fred’s creativity. I recommended to my customer to contact Fred. My customer called me three days later and said THANK YOU, Fred developed a plan, and I will be closing on the property in 30 days and with a big profit, and he did. My parents lived in Florida, 1200 miles from me and 3000 miles away from my brother. My father had to use all the equity in their 6000 square foot country club home to try and save his businesses during the 2008 – 2009 economic crisis. Sadly, my father’s health started failing, and he died four years later. My mother handled everything and the debt for a few years until her health began to decline, diagnosed with Alzheimer's. My brother and I took over all financial affairs for my mother and wanted to move her near me. We put the house on the market with the community expert and waited for a sale that would give us enough money to pay off the mortgage and debts to the community after one year and many price reductions that never happened. After that, one year later, most of my mother’s funds were depleted, and she had to be hospitalized permanently. We were stressed to the max; the house, the upkeep, the payments, HOA expenses, and the mortgage were now our burden. A friend of our family in Florida recommended we contact Fred DeFalco. In 30 days, our problems were solved. Fred immediately took over the house, all contents we did not want, and all expenses. He did all this, plus he made sure we were released from any current and future liabilities. We were totally free to focus on my mother and the remaining 18 months she lived.
