Survivor & Speaker

As a breast cancer and stroke survivor, Franne’s keynotes motivate entrepreneurs who are “infected with frustration” and “paralyzed by fear.”

In her own words, Franne states, ”I strive to focus their energy for action and achieve significant business results.”

She loves people-watching, writing sitcoms and 5-minute zen-like power-naps to refresh her spirits and recharge her batteries.
