“I couldn't recommend Francesca enough! Having her as a coach and mentor has completely revolutionised my relationship with public speaking, making me more confident, memorable, effective and even allowing me to enjoy the spotlight.
She is a wonderful teacher, who gently pushes you out of your comfort zone sharing clear feedback and encouragement throughout the process.
She's able to create with her warm and positive attitude a safe and welcoming learning environment, where you feel like you can always be your true self and you are not afraid to experiment, learning more and more every day .”
“Fran is one of those people that you feel like you’ve known forever. She has an innate ability to bring out the best in you by creating a judgement-free environment that puts you at ease from the get go.
During my coaching with her, she was consistently kind, empathetic and honest, always asking thoughtful questions that helped me to see where I was holding myself back. Beyond that, she’s just a genuinely lovely person to be around.
I’d recommend her to anyone looking to get a better understanding of themselves and their voice, and how best to use it.”
“Working with Fran on a series of one to one coaching sessions was invaluable in boosting my confidence, providing clarity on my goals and better understanding how I can be more impactful at work.
As someone who has never liked being the loudest person in a room, she helped me show up in a way that felt authentic, while still having an impact and ensuring my teams and clients felt confident in my leadership abilities.
I would one hundred percent recommend Fran to anyone who wants to work through a challenge they’re facing at work - whether it’s showing up with confidence presenting or finding a better balance as someone who always wants to say yes.
With years of corporate experience herself, she just gets it, and her style helps you unpack the issue yourself so you really get to the root of what you feel has been holding you back.”
“Fran was fantastic to work with. I came into our first session with a feeling that I wanted coaching but feeling a bit lost with no specific goals. Fran really helped me drill down into the areas I wanted to see improvement, whilst also helping highlight parts of my career and life where I was confident.
Fran helped break things down & helped me with more clarity, whilst also suggesting actionable tasks between sessions.
I saw a huge improvement in my attitude & motivation to my career whilst working with Fran & would absolutely recommend working with her to anyone.
“I started working with Fran to help gain more presence and confidence in how I approach my work. Within just a few sessions, Fran’s mix of practical techniques and advice on specific situations gave me confidence to approach each situation feeling in control. If anyone is looking to regain their confidence at work, I’d recommend completely.”
“I got to work with Fran on learning how to use my voice in an undeniable way. Her coaching helped me to understand how to approach responses to questions that are rooted in confidence and how to better lead conversations in a room.
I'm so thankful for Fran's guidance during the sessions and continued support since.”
“I met Fran during a personal development program and had the opportunity to get her assigned as my coach.
She not only brilliantly facilitated our weekly collective training sessions but she was very sharp during our in-person coaching session or feedback.
I was able to be my true self and be confident about it. Fran through her kind and focused feedback helped me progress in becoming the best version of myself inside and out. Thank you Fran again!!”
“Francesca is one of the few people I have come across who makes you actually want to move out of your comfort zone and try new things.
She has made that formerly scary sandbox a safe space and has been the perfect mix of encouraging and honest. She was able to challenge me, and my thinking, in a constructive way and meant that with the right practice and preparation I felt that I could show up to any scenario and create the impact I wanted.
Working with her on a recent course (can namecheck if needed, or not!) has completely changed not only my approach to public speaking, but my trepidation too. I feel much more prepared, composed and confident in interactions across public speaking and also stakeholder management.
It definitely helped me in recent job interviews and I now have a much more structured and efficient attitude too. Plus, I’ve made a good friend and colleague and met an awesome cohort of communicators in the meantime.”
“Coaching landed for me at a business transition and growth phase with a particular focus on navigating and implementing a challenging succession plan. Personally, I’ve found that making the time for coaching to fit around a demanding schedule can be difficult, but Fran was highly adaptive and took a flexible approach to build the right personalised package, which was a real benefit.
Fran was knowledgeable, helpful and understanding. Working together enabled me to discuss and process thoughts and goals, prioritise workflow and strategise for more effective implementation. The coaching sessions were enjoyable and gave me renewed energy and greater focus to achieve my goals. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to take their effectiveness in leadership and management to the next level.”
“121 coaching can be challenging to get right but working with Fran has been so beneficial for me and my career. We had very clear objectives from the beginning and worked hard in every session through practical techniques and stress-testing scenarios to navigate the challenges that can appear when leading a team. It was a treat to work with someone that aligns so perfectly with my professional style and not feel alienated like on most traditional coaching or most training courses. Fran was always prepared, giving homework to ensure I was putting practices in place immediately. I’ve grown so much after just four sessions and the techniques I’ve learned will carry me throughout my career. Thank you, Fran, for your time, dedication, and belief in me, it was a pleasure to work together!.”
