Ready to wake up excited about your life and the work you do?
Ready to wake up excited about your life and the work you do?
Are you tired of feeling…
Trapped in your current career path?
Overwhelmed by the idea of “starting over”?
Undervalued, unsatisfied, and restless?
I can relate.
For years I was married to the idea that I needed to be the one thing that I set out to be: an actress. It had been what I had dreamed of for as long as I could remember.
Flash to after 20 years of working in the theater acting, teaching, directing, I was miserable.
I no longer felt passionate. Instead I felt drained and taken for granted. I tried to make changes and found myself wandering through different professions looking for something that fit.
Design thinking got me unstuck.
Luckily, I stumbled on the book Designing Your Life by Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, two professors from the design school at Stanford University.
Using design thinking, they provided a creative and practical framework that helped me get unstuck, get excited again, and connect to a purpose in my work life.
Now I am doing something that I feel absolutely passionate about:
Helping others to get unstuck
See new possibilities
Create their
futures.
Your story doesn’t have to be written for you.
You can take back control and create the story you desire in your career and personal life.
What my clients say:
The overall experience was very transformative and positive for me. The workshop was very well-organised in all its components and delivered much value.
During the workshop, we addressed several topics in order to design the life we want to experience. The experience allowed me to find clarity and make more conscious decisions.
Francesca has an uncanny ability to create and lead workshops as well as support people in their discovery and creation journey.
I definitely recommend her and her Design Your Life Coaching Journey!
The facilitation of this coaching journey was excellent. Francesca created a wonderfully open space for us to dream big & revel in the excitement of each others’ visions for the future, whilst equipping us with practical tools to help us in taking steps towards that future.
The quality of the conversations that were had during the sessions were really rich and being able to plan in this way, with others, added a magical dimension to designing one’s life.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to anyone who is looking to create a more meaningful life for themselves.
I enjoyed my sessions with Francesca so much. She is a great active listener and was really adept at pulling aspects of my life and career out of me. Some of those aspects, I had not thought of as priorities, and she helped me see the importance they played in my life.
The tools and resources she shared, such as the Odyssey Plan worksheet helped get goals out of my mind and onto paper. This made it so much easier to understand my personal goals and priorities.
Even being on the other side of the world from Francesca, I really felt like she was able to connect with me.
Thank you so much for your help with navigating my future career and life goals.
I thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Designing Your Life coaching journey led by Francesca for several reasons.
Firstly, it is an excellent opportunity to see inside yourself and to find true values in your life. Secondly, it provides you with useful tools and techniques to deal with a mindset that has stopped you from taking action in your life so far. Thirdly, after dealing with your doubts and anxiety it trains your imagination and creative thinking for a better future.
The presentation materials and exercises were well structured and stimulating so the workshop was challenging enough without being overwhelming.
Overall, I felt this course was a tremendous learning experience for me and also a great opportunity to meet amazing people from all over the world.
This experience helped me to figure out what could be the next step in my life. Before the DYL coaching journey, the process was somehow difficult because I felt the need for change without knowing what to do.
Francesca did a great job in supporting me on my path and in managing the group and the individual needs of the participants. I was happy to meet people from different places and cultural backgrounds.
Thank you very much again for a great workshop!
The coaching journey was a wonderful experience! It really gave me the opportunity to think about and clarify what motivates me and what concrete steps I want to take. And I got to meet some very lovely and inspiring people in the process.
Francesca does an awesome job at facilitating this and making sure everybody takes away tangible value from each session.
