Raves About

Frances Powell

”..probably the best coaching I’ve done in my career. Very pragmatical and with clear improvements on myself as a leader. Frances is superb at this and I humbly attribute to her the positive changes / enhancements on my leadership capabilities. I can’t thank you enough, Frances!”

Felipe Barreiro

VP & GM, Latin America, Align Technology

“…Frances is an amazing instructional designer and creative thinker. Our collaboration enabled us to create a program that seamlessly blended live facilitation with electronically programmed content through NovoEd for which we have submitted for a Brandon Hall Award (winning is pending!). Update: We won!

Also, I can’t not mention that Frances’ facilitation skills are (dare I say it? Yes!) INSANE.

I learned so much from Frances. Her passion for creating impactful learning experiences is truly inspiring. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented professional and look forward to doing so again soon.”

Patricia Jurgensen, M.Ed

Learning Strategy and Design Leader, Johnson & Johnson

Working with Frances is not only effective but also a pleasure, as she makes every interaction easy, fun, and productive. In our work together, she has shaped the mindset of over 10,000 learners. Whether it is university professors, C-suite executives or leaders on the shop floor, Frances creates an atmosphere of openness, respect and genuine curiosity to listen and learn from each other.

Frances possesses a deep understanding of contemporary leadership theories and practices, seamlessly blending them with a focus on personal growth and digital transformation.
