Bring the examination
into the room.
Dr. Franklin has taught across nine campuses and four continents, and has developed leaders in China three separate times, as well as in Russia, Azerbaijan, India, and Ghana. She speaks the way she coaches: she examines first, she tells the truth, and she leaves the room with something to do on Monday.
She is available for keynotes, conference sessions, executive retreats, faculty and staff development, commencement and convocation addresses, panels, podcasts, and press commentary.
Subjects examined rather than performed.
Fit to lead.
Why capable leaders stall, what the research says about readiness, and how to tell a skill problem from a capacity problem.
Managing from the heart.
Conflict and opposition as information rather than as threat, and what it costs an organization when nobody will say the hard thing.
Leading what nobody chose.
Carrying a team through change they did not ask for, when you did not ask for it either and cannot say so out loud.
Passion, purpose, performance.
Why passion signals purpose, why purpose fuels performance, and how leaders find both without leaving the job they have.
The new workforce ecosystem.
Human capital strategy for institutions whose work is being reshaped faster than their structures are.
Built for your room.
Tell me who is in the audience and what you need them to leave with, and the session is built backward from that.
A good doctor does not prescribe what she has not examined.
Tell me about the event.
The date, the audience, the format, and what you want them to walk out with. I will tell you honestly whether I am the right person for that room.
