Tell us more about your job or company and what led you to your career?
In 2010, I joined a monthly women’s group led by a coach. At the time, I didn’t even know what coaching was. After a close friend passed away in 2012, I realized life was too short and signed up for coaching school. I continued in corporate while coaching occasionally on the side. In 2019, I was laid off and after the pandemic hit, I fully committed to coaching. By surrendering and trusting that everything happens for me, my business has flourished, bringing me joy every day.
What would your clients say about you and your company?
-
“Need a coach that can kick your ass and help you laugh while doing it? This one right here will do that for you. It’s nothing personal; she just wants you to achieve your goals and not give up on yourself. Best money spent!”
-
“Working with Francine has been eye-opening and life-changing in such a short time. I cannot wait to make even more strides while working with her.”
What is the best advice you’ve ever received?
After being laid off in 2019, a coach reminded me: “Francine, for as long as I have known you, you have always landed on your feet.” I often recall this when I feel nervous or scared in my business.

What is your secret weapon?
Looking inward whenever I am externally triggered—through journaling, meditation, or talking with a friend or coach—to focus on my response, as that’s the only thing I can control.
