The session helped me a lot in improving the way I approach a meeting or a presentation and changed my perspective on how to communicate my ideas better. The second day was helpful in getting my posture and tone to draw attention from the audience.

This training helps us to break out of our day-to-day and focus on the career and advancements we all strive for but don’t often focus on. Seeing and understanding these small focus areas can help us reach that next career milestone.

Open Program

Francie was fabulous. She’s clearly very comfortable speaking with everyone in the class on a variety of subjects – even beyond executive presence. She was warm and encouraging but direct with feedback.

This was fantastic training. Although I have always had confidence when I meet with execs- this training will elevate my conversations It was fantastic to see how different people were from early on until the end of the course.

This was one of the best coaching sessions I have ever had. As someone who is constantly trying to learn and grow, this was, by far, one of the richest experiences. Francie’s comforting and commanding presence is such a huge motivation for continuing to practice these lessons and concepts. Thank you all for the work you put into this.

I wanted to thank every single one of you for doing such an amazing job partnering with us.
