She left the audience with key advice to help them become great leaders of the future by embracing the new world that we find ourselves in.
Quotes:
Fran says; “It’s a huge honor and privilege to be invited to speak at such a prestigious event. This week has been a bit of a juggle around the kids as I had already been invited to deliver keynotes at two other events, so I had lots of scripts to learn. However, I couldn’t have asked for TEDx to have gone any better and I am so pleased at the reaction from the audience. In the first 24 hours since the event my twitter following has increased by over 1000 new followers! It is great to see that this insight appears to be spreading already, and my wish is that it helps many more people feel comfortable and empowered in this exciting new world”
“brilliant Talk… inspiring and resonating” Jenny Thomas, TEDx Speaker
“You totally rocked the room” Sara Mosley, TEDx Speaker
