In 2002, I received a phone call. The voice told me that my Air Force pilot son Kevin was found unconscious at the bottom of a ski hill in New Zealand. I dropped everything. When I arrived at his side, he was in a coma. The doctors told me Kevin would be a vegetable for the rest of his life. I refused the prognosis. I imagined Kevin fully recovering and living as good, if not better, life than before. Now he does.

Hi, my name is Fran. After a challenging childhood that should have left me a drug addict, alcoholic, or prostitute, I became a lawyer. For 22 years, despite battling varying levels of depression, I kept moving forward because I learned at a young age how to be unstoppable. But the moment you read about changed everything. Side by side with Kevin, I learned a way to harness more time and energy so that I could be unstoppable without the burnout, depression and negative fallout from my childhood darkness. I even became a professional athlete along the way. What emerged was leadership tools that got results. #LifeIntegration #EmotionalIntelligence #Leadership

Today, I have enough freedom that life, including work, is optimized. I get to ski in the winters and spend up to 3 months each year surfing in Hawaii while running two businesses.

Now, I give leadership training with tools that get immediate results. If you're tired of leadership training that gives you a lot of ideas and theories with no immediate action tools, this training is for you and your company. I also help high-achievers how to harness time & energy to optimize their performance because they are too busy to see the hidden time and energy slipping through their fingers. I help unclutter brain bandwidth so they, too, can become unstoppable while improving lifestyles and becoming the leaders they were meant to be.

Speaker | Corporate Trainer | Attorney | Business Strategist | 3-Time #1 Bestselling Author | Athlete, optimizing realization rates, client retention, revenues, and lifestyles.
