Helping people connect authentically in a digital world.
I’m Fredric Steck
Human connection has defined every chapter of my forty-year career in financial services, from my beginnings at Goldman Sachs to becoming a pre-IPO partner at the firm. Today, as an author, speaker, and consultant, I help salespeople and development officers connect to clients with authenticity and humanity in a digital world. I’ve given talks to organisations such as Share Our Strength, Denver University, and the Commonwealth Club.
Coming October 28th!
Connectability: Mastering Relationship Building in Business, Sales, and Beyond, published by Fast Company Press.
Fred began writing his blog, È Solo un Trucco in 2020. Five years later, he has taken those reflections on life, sales, and the philosophical intersection between the two and turn them into Connectability: Mastering Relationship Building in Business, Sales, and Beyond, Fred’s debut book.
Drawing on his forty years of experience as a financial services professional with Goldman Sachs, his time spent running a working horse ranch in Southern California, raising five children and everything in between Fred shares wisdom and inspiration that encourages us all to find the humanity in everything we do.

The Blog: É Solo Un Trucco
Or in English... "it’s only a trick." A quote from my favourite movie, Le Grande Bellezza by Paolo Sorrentino. The film follows Jep Gambardella, a Roman journalist and party boy, as he confronts the passage of time on his 65th birthday. In the film - "it's only a trick" refers to many things - life, beauty, and in some cases meaningfulness itself. I have taken to understand "it's only a trick" as a reminder to live life to the fullest.
