As an executive educator, who helps successful leaders achieve a positive change in behavior, I, in a way, teach people how to act.

When they need to motivate and inspire people, they do it. As a tribute to her leadership skills, President Clinton awarded Frances with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award that can be given to a U.S. I want to help leaders learn how to be great performers, but I never believe that they should be phonies or unreal.
