Need to move on and move forward? A stellar beginning can be as easy as 1-2-3.
Fran's Tips for Pursuing Your Dreams:
1. Decide: that you are ready for something new.
2. Declare: state your intention to others.
3. Pursue: find opportunities to do it - or find people doing it you can learn from.
The first step toward any goal is the most important - and the one most of us put off. You need to decide that you are ready for something new. You don't need to know exactly what that is - or how you are going to do it. What you must do is declare your intention to others. Once you do that, others can help you pursue and identify your next steps.

Committed to creating communication that changes lives, Fran puts her insight and Zone Method tools into the daily lives of everyone she comes in contact with.

She later founded the largest graduate level media scholarship at the University of Texas. She still serves as a judge for the (John Mack Carter Media Scholarship) award and created the first "mentorship' for scholarship winners - a paid internship, where they are mentored by a leader in the hosting organization.
For her contribution to the field of communication, she received the 1995 'Headliner of the Year Award', a national honor for life achievement. Other recipients include Barbara Walters and legendary White House correspondent, Helen Thomas.
